This work is based on the history of my ancestors.also It can be looked as a history told from average person's perspective.Dig up some stories about your own ancestors,you can alwayz find someting interesting.
It was about 1400 years ago.a group of cavaliers from central Asia invade western China.They were called as "Turk"(突厥Tu-Jue)
At that time,China was ruled by a strong dynasty Tang,which was good at battle.After many wars and political struggle.theTurkic Khaganate fell apart.while the western part went west to write another story.The eastern part became a part of China.
At that time,the word Chinese and farmer nearly mean the same thing.even these foreign cavaliers can not escape from this destiny.with your own wife ,kids and farm.this destiny is not that bad,just a little bit boring.
Peace last for 200 years.flood,drought and locust plague start to shake the whole country.people who was banished form their good life started to follow the sword and horse.the blood of warrior was boiling,A new time was coming.
Heros raised and fell.The whole contry was finally united.again.
Those who choosed the right guy to follow earned a new life.A life far away from earth or blood.They became a part of the bureau.guys who knew how to write and read started to hold the fate of the country.
But,unfortunately,Mongolians came.apparently,writers can not defend the dynasty from arrows like rain,then, you konw what happend.
Except for massacre salvery and violence.Still, we shall look at the bright side.The known world has been conected by Mongol empire.Also the prohibition about going aboard was finally cancelled.If Marco Polo can come to make our money,so did we.
Weather of Indian Sea was not easy to predict.Even your products had a strong competitiveness in the market.A weak ship won't be able to carry your profit back to home.
Mongol Empire doesn't last long enough.Farmers sweeped them out at last.But a boring cruel long dynasty was waiting for them.even the farmer can not handle this ridiculous situation at all.the rebels start to destory the gorverment and kill kings.this time,my ancestor didn't follow the farmers.as a guard of King,He fought against them.
Or maybe just ran away.After rebels sieged the city with flood,thanks to the swimming skill,he sucessfully survived.
Then Manchurians came.Good days came back.during the peaceful 300 years,my ancestors became richer and richer.
But without power,Rich people were just like sheeps for wolves.when they were hungry,you will become their dinner on the table.
Then everyting changed.Empire fell,civil wars,then,Japanese.My grandfather was strugguled in this strange world.like many young people at that time,He choose to serve the contry as a radio operator.Following the central government untill the peace came .
But,Peace didn't come.
His son and my father is a engineer who built many dums.Following the Chairman Mao,his generation was leading the New China toward the morden nation with hope and passion.but the cost was the tradition ,culture,most importantly,human lives.
And beacuce he is son of my grandfather who was judge as a spy and anti-revolutionary.he suffered a lot during the culture revolution.
And here is me.a guy who lived in a country with limpid air.when I was a child,I thought the somg is just a natural phenomena.Thanks to the USA embassy,we found the truth.
And the future,what is gonna happen?I have no idea.but my dear sister told me that "the best is yet to come".then carry on,keep writing your own story.
