A bicycle swooped past the camera and rode forward.
The little figure sat on the bicycle seat, two thin legs pedaling very fast.
At the same time, Xue Xiao’s narration sounded.
His voice was gentle and peaceful.
[Since I was nine years old, I have become different from other people my age.]
The camera shifted from behind the boy riding the bicycle to the side of the alley.
Another fat boy comes into view.
He chased the boy on the bicycle desperately, shouting as he ran: "Xie Jia!"
"Xie Jia!"
Xue Xiao's narration is still so brisk.
"You finally heard me, I'm almost exhausted!" Fatty stopped and complained with his hands on his knees.
They couldn't help but admire the efforts of this group. The actor played by Xiao Xie Jia looked so much like Xue Xiao!
Did Xue Xiao look so cute when he was a child
Xue Xiao himself has not officially appeared yet, but his voice has already appeared, and with just this gentle and lively voice, he has already established the character of Xie Jia.
He seems to be a pretty positive and cheerful boy.
The screen kept jumping along with Xue Xiao's narration. What the audience saw was little Xie Jia's unaccustomed hearing loss when she first encountered it, and her gradual getting used to it.
The content of the story is limited to twenty minutes, and there won't be too many parts for young actors.
The other party was stunned for a moment: "...could it be burned out?"
I shouted three times, but the boy on the bicycle seemed to ignore him.
[I thought they finally realized this wasn't funny to me... ]
When the other party saw this woman smiling like this, he didn't know if she was serious or joking, and he twitched the corners of his lips in embarrassment.
On the big screen, Xie's father and Xie's mother frowned and looked at the camera from a slightly downward angle.
There were two middle-aged women standing downstairs carrying vegetables. One of them laughed and said, "Why are you Jiajia ignoring people?"
Father Xie suddenly pointed at the camera and said: "The teacher asked you to get up to answer questions in class, why did you pretend not to hear it?!"
The camera shifted back to behind the boy on the bicycle.
The camera follows them across residential buildings.
Another woman seemed to find it funny and said: "This child has become very deaf since the last time he had a high fever. He often can't hear me when I call him."
Because of the strenuous exercise, his cheeks were a little red and there was sweat on his forehead.
When he mentioned the ups and downs he encountered when he was young, he didn't seem to regard them as suffering. His tone was very relaxed, and he should be like a little sun.
Xie's father and mother seemed to have no intention of listening to his excuses and interrupted him rudely.
He stopped the car suddenly and turned around, panting.
[… All right.]
They even think it's funny and cute to have such back ears at such a young age, and it's a source of conversation.
[Yes, one day when I was nine years old, my ears suddenly became difficult to hear clearly.]
His mother would always say to anyone she met: "I wonder what he will do when he gets old!"
No wonder Shen Tingyan said that this role is very suitable for Xue Xiao.
The junior high school version of Xie Jia did not appear on the scene, and only the voice of little Xie Jia explained: "... I really didn't hear it, it wasn't intentional!"
Mother Xie said solemnly: "Can you fool the teacher or us? How come your ears are so hard that you can't even hear the sounds in the classroom?"
"Xie Jia!"
He finally heard the fourth hoarse shout.
He always spoke very loudly, and after being reminded by others, he realized that he didn't need to be so loud to be heard.
"Okay, okay, don't say it. Anyway, if the teacher calls us to school again next time," Father Xie pointed at the camera, "Watch how I whip you."
[I no longer feel as uncomfortable as having two balls of cotton stuffed in my ears, but my parents are starting to get used to it.]
"-Xie Jia!"
Before the audience could get angry, the scene turned and Xue Xiao suddenly appeared!
Little Xie Jia said blankly: "Ah, I was riding too fast and I didn't hear you at all..."
It was a very cute and round face, with big and bright eyes.
[By the age of thirteen, I had almost forgotten what it felt like to have normal ears.]
Xie Jia was playing with his classmates not far away. He couldn't hear anything. When he turned around to look, he only saw a group of adults laughing there, seemingly laughing at him.
The woman laughed and said, "Yes, his dad and I also think he has burned out his brain!"
He didn't know what was happening to him, and his parents didn't care at all.
At this point, the audience already understands the storytelling mode of this story.
He finally appears!
His look made the entire studio go "wow".
Xue Xiao was sitting at the desk in his bedroom doing homework. He was wearing a blue and white school uniform, and his side face was bathed in the warm light of the desk lamp.
He lowered his eyes, recited the question in a low voice, and drew circles in circles. He was very serious. His face looked so young and there was no sense of disobedience at all. He was just a green high school student!
The door suddenly opened. He glanced at it with his peripheral vision and turned his head.
Mother Xie walked in, turned around and closed the door.
Her back was to Xie Jia, and her shoulders were hunched tightly. Xie Jia felt that she should be talking to him, but he couldn't hear clearly at all, he could only hear her mumbling something.
He frowned slightly.
Xie's mother turned around, her face dropped as soon as she saw his expression, and she said loudly: "Didn't you hear it again?!"
Xie Jia moved her lips, but before she could speak, Xie's mother sternly said: "I said your dad went out to gamble again! ... Forget it, you two are just a piece of shit!"
She slammed the door again and walked out.
Xie Jia: “…”
He pursed his lips, lowered his head depressedly and continued to do his homework.
[Before high school, I thought that people’s states change in points.]
[For example, my hearing suddenly decreased significantly one day, and it never returned to its original state.]
[For example, the fat kid who chased me when I was a kid suddenly broke his leg one day. The doctor said that even if he was cured, there would be sequelae and his leg would never be intact.]
In the picture, the grown-up little fat boy was holding his bandaged leg and crying loudly surrounded by his family.
[It’s amazing, how could I have such an idea?]
[One day in high school, I suddenly realized that life actually changes linearly.]
[For example, my hearing did not decline to a certain level overnight and then stop moving. It continued to weaken secretly and silently.]
[It's like a thief who keeps taking away things that belong to me without me noticing.]
Xie Jia sits in the middle and back row of the high school class.
He could see the teacher's mouth moving constantly, but in his ears, he could hear a buzzing noise mixed with one or two words.
He grabbed his hair anxiously and could only work harder to see the teacher's mouth shape.
Suddenly, his deskmate grabbed his hand.
He was startled, turned his head, and heard his deskmate say: "...have you remembered?"
Because I was in class, my deskmate kept his voice very low.
Xie Jia leaned over and said, "What?"
Realizing that he hadn't heard clearly, his deskmate leaned into his ear and said, "Let me tell you, have you memorized the formula on the ppt page just now?"
Xie Jia nodded repeatedly.
As long as it was not what the teacher said verbally, he would immediately memorize other knowledge points!
My deskmate whistled: "As expected of you!"
The next second, the teacher shouted: "Why are you whistling? Do you think it's music class? Stand up!"
Deskmate:"… … "
The class laughed.
Xie Jia didn't hear the conversation clearly for a second or two, and just laughed stupidly along with the whole class.
Teacher: "Xie Jia, if you are still smiling, stand up too!"
Xie Jia: "..."
[Uh, I heard this clearly.]
In the studio, the audience immediately laughed.
[Life changes linearly.]
[For example, it’s not like Chubby’s legs will never be as good as before. After he recovered, he practiced hard, and his leg gradually improved, and he was able to play football after half a year.]
[He took what belonged to him and snatched it back from the thief.]
On the playground, Fatty was running around in circles and laughing: "Hahahaha, Xie Jia, did you see it? Did you see it?"
"There is no way I will never be able to play football again in my life!"
Xie Jia sat on the edge of the playground with her knees bent.
Xiaopang grew up with him and knew that he had bad ears, so he spoke very loudly.
He felt so good running that he collapsed next to Xie Jia, his chest heaving and looking at the sky with a smile.
Xie Jia's eyes fell on Xiaopang's legs.
He envied: "It would be great if my ears could be trained like your legs."
Xiaopang: "Why can't you do it? Just practice and see!"
Xie Jia: "Isn't it just practice when I listen to you talking? If it works, I will become less and less able to hear you."
The little fat man sat up suddenly, frowned and said, "Your ears are getting worse?"
Xie Jia sighed: "I feel so."
Fatty: "Do you want to go to the hospital?"
Xie Jia hesitated and said: "...Is it useful to go to the hospital?"
Fatty: "You're in the hospital's otolaryngology department for nothing! There must be something wrong with your ears. You should tell your parents about it!"
Xie Jia had some confusion on her face: "I always feel that it's a genetic problem. My mother said that my grandma also had very hard ears."
Fatty: "How old is your grandma? Isn't it normal for the elderly to have back ears? How old are you? And didn't your ears suddenly become bad when you had a fever in the second grade of elementary school?"
Xie Jia stopped talking.
It seemed that he had only started to think about this issue seriously until now.
At this moment, online and offline, the hearts of all viewers are hanging in the air.
It can be seen from the background of the story that Xie Jia was born in an era before computers and mobile phones became popular.
When Xie Jia was in high school, most adults had mobile phones, but at that time it was still very inconvenient to use mobile phones to access the Internet. Xie Jia's family conditions are not good and she doesn't have a computer at home.
Therefore, unless his parents pay attention to it, Xie Jia has no channels to obtain information at all.
Until Xiaopang reminded him, he didn't realize that his hearing loss might be a disease that required him to go to the hospital.
It is possible to alleviate the condition, but it is necessary to stop the condition from getting worse in time.
so-
Now that Xie Jia realizes it himself, will his situation change
The audience forgot a premise.
If Xie Jia's parents were really a reliable pair of parents, then they would not have allowed Xie Jia's ears to be broken for so many years.
If they were really responsible enough, they wouldn't even treat Xie Jia's problem as a funny thing when it first arose.
Therefore, with such weak hope, all the audience ushered in the crushing wave of infatuation in the middle of the story...
Xie Jia only scored a few points in the English listening section of the midterm exam. Looking at his answer sheet, you can tell that he was completely deceived.
How does this work? The competition in the college entrance examination is so fierce, and one point will mean a difference in ranking!
The teacher finally called Xie's mother to school, raised the problem of Xie Jia's ears with her, and suggested that they take him to the hospital for a checkup.
Unexpectedly, Xie's mother was very resistant.
On this night, Xie Jia had a big fight with his parents.
Mother Xie said: "Is it embarrassing to wear a hearing aid? Do you want to be regarded as a disabled person?!"
Father Xie lit a cigarette and asked, "How much does a hearing aid cost? Where does our family get so much money?"
Xie Jia has been taught since he was a child that his family has no money, so at an age when other children love to eat, play and are loved by their families, he can't even ask his parents to buy him a 50-cent popsicle in the summer.
The topic of "money" made Xie Jia, who had no concept of money but only fear, secretly startled.
But the topic had already started, and he was unwilling to end it just like that.
He clasped his hands and plucked up the courage to ask, "Have you ever asked?"
His courage was rewarded with even more intense curses.
Doctors are all liars.
The internet is also full of lies.
How can our family have money? Your dad has just paid off a debt of more than 20,000 yuan, and there is no money left in our bank card!
Tears slowly accumulated in Xie Jia's eyes, and the tears reflected the opening and closing of their parents' mouths, which kept spitting out saliva.
In fact, he has always wanted to ask...why his father still can't quit gambling, and why he still gambles when his family doesn't have much money.
But he could almost guess how his parents would fight against him.
For example, what do you, a child, care about when it comes to adults
They earn the money and they can spend it however they want. Why do you, a kid like you, need to interrupt
For another example, do you have a conscience? How come you know money, money, money at such a young age? Do you just expect us to die early so you can get our money
Xie's mother couldn't stand Xie's father gambling, but when it came to teaching their children, no matter who was right or who was wrong, the couple always stood on the same side.
Online and offline, all viewers felt aggrieved and angry.
Xie Jia is completely powerless in front of her parents!
Yes, children should be grateful to their parents for their upbringing, and they cannot ask for it from their parents as a matter of course.
But now Xie Jia is sick!
Children are human beings, not kittens or puppies. Besides, you should raise kittens and puppies responsibly. You should also go to the doctor when you are sick. How can you be so casual about raising children
Better hearing aids are expensive. With Xie's father and Xie's mother's income, even if Xie's father doesn't gamble, they might not be able to afford it. But the problem is that they don't even plan to ask!
The audience's anger level kept rising until Father Xie shouted, "You'd better not go to school, it's useless if you do." They were all shocked.
-Depend on! These parents! !
The whole studio became noisy.
But before they could curse loudly, the next second, Xue Xiao's explosion turned their anger into ashes.
"I want to study!"
The young man shouted hoarsely with his eyes red.
"—I don’t want to drop out of school! I want to study! I want to study!"
"I don't want to go to the hospital anymore, I don't want hearing aids, and I don't want you to spend more money! But you can't let me go to school. I can learn, and my grades can keep up!"
The roar echoed throughout the studio.
The young man's tears kept falling.
His face was full of panic and grievance, but he puffed up his hair and disguised himself as a lion, trying to increase his momentum.
The audience was instantly speechless and their throats became dry.
Xie Jia has always been well-behaved and sensible.
Except for the time when he was still young and had not adapted to his hearing impairment, he always spoke loudly subconsciously. At other times, he never raised his voice.
But at this moment, he shouted at the top of his lungs.
The voice was so hoarse that it was almost unpleasant, but those four words were so loud that they seemed to overlap with the cry in his heart, deafening.
"I want to study!"
After shouting like crazy, he and Xie's father and Xie's mother stood opposite each other, staring at each other, crying and panting.
The audience took deep breaths.
Xue Xiao's performance made them feel so immersed that they could almost feel that Xie Jia's world was completely shattered that night.
He was shocked that his parents would rather have him drop out of school than face up to his hearing problem.
In despair, he finally realized that no one could help him in his predicament, and the only one he could rely on was himself.
Xue Xiao's narration became lonely.
[On this day, I still don’t know what to do, but I want to... ]
[There is always a way.]
The noisy Xie family made neighbors come and knock on the door.
Xie's father and Xie's mother were so shocked by Xie Jia's crying and yelling that they couldn't speak for a while. Xie's mother slowly came to her senses and went to open the door.
Xie Jia raised her arms to wipe her tears, turned around and ran into her room without saying a word, locking the door behind her.
Mother Xie looked back and saw the neighbor outside the door said, "Oh, please stop making noise, we all heard it."
Several neighbors gathered outside.
"Don't be so angry, how can you prevent your children from studying?"
"That's right, you Jiajia really want to learn, right? There are very few children who want to learn so much these days."
"If you have any difficulties, just tell us."
The expression of thanking father and mother became embarrassed.
They have no money, but they want to save face. They would never be able to ask their neighbors to lend money to their children to study.
-Of course, the fact is that they don’t really have money to educate their children.
After all, the nine-year compulsory education system does not require parents to spend any money...
In the room, Xie Jia's eyes were still red and tears were still falling.
But his expression was more determined than ever.
He gritted his teeth, stared at his homework book, and wrote his homework vigorously and quickly.
[There is always a way.]
[There is always a way.]
These two repeated sighs, one shallower than the other, made the audience feel pity.
Xue Xiao himself looked very excited.
Unlike the audience who don't know the follow-up development, he won't be in a state of excitement following the plot.
But seeing myself performing on such a big screen felt so novel.
He was completely unaware that the rest of the audience was completely speechless.
At the instructor's table, the other three looked at Shen Tingyan and then at Xue Xiao, who was sitting not far away.
Xue Xiao's progress was so fast that they were already tired...
However, when this young man's performance was separated from the scene and moved to a carefully edited and soundtracked film, the effect presented made them feel another level of shock.
Whether it was big emotions or small emotions, Xue Xiao handled them all with certainty.
It's like he's playing with a string, and the other end of the string is holding the audience's heart.
If he wants the audience to laugh, the audience will laugh; if he wants the audience to be angry, the audience will be angry; if he wants the audience to feel sad, the audience will feel sad.
The perfection of this performance... It is wrong to describe him as a performing robot, because a robot has no soul.
It should be said that Xue Xiao seems to have truly transformed into a character.
He will make the audience believe that somewhere in the world, these characters he plays really exist.
On the big screen, Xie Jia stopped writing after finishing her homework.
He finally calmed down, but was looking at his homework in a daze.
Shen Tingyan used a very wonderful shooting technique.
At this moment, the audience could clearly hear his breathing.
The breath gently blew the slightly tilted homework paper.
Also, the wind outside the window is whistling.
The wind swayed the trees, the shadows of the trees outside the window were dancing, and the leaves made a rustling sound.
The next second, the camera cut back to Xie Jia's profile.
All sounds disappeared in an instant.
Outside the window, the shadows of the trees were still swaying.
On the table, the paper was still rising and falling.
Xie Jia's world is silent.
[Life changes linearly.]
[I think this does not just refer to changes in certain illnesses.]
[Everything and every decision a person makes, whether big or small, will have a long-term impact on their future.]
[That night I didn’t know what my future would be like.]
[But I plan to work hard towards the direction I want.]
Xie Jia stood up, turned around and moved a lot of notes and correction books to the desk.
The heavy book hit the table, and Xie Jia couldn't hear the sound.
He sat down on the stool and began to flip through the books from the beginning.
At this moment, the perseverance and concentration on his face made the audience realize that nothing would affect this boy again.
He can control his own future.
And his life story will soon usher in a turning point.
