Chapter 60 First Impressions of the Provincial Capital: A Glimpse of Prosperity
I. Weary from a journey, I arrive in the new city.
The Harley-Davidson sped along, its engine roaring incessantly, deep and powerful.
Chen Shanhe gripped the handlebars firmly, his back ramrod straight, steadily carrying Su Wanjing as they broke through the last bit of dust and grime along the way.
As dawn broke, the road suddenly opened up, and the scene before my eyes changed abruptly, with tall buildings and avenues coming into view.
Both of them were startled at the same time, and their steps and the speed of the car slowed down.
We've finally arrived in the provincial capital.
He slowly eased off the accelerator, the engine noise gradually subsided, and the car came to a steady stop at the entrance to the city.
Dust gently rose, after a bumpy and arduous journey of thousands of miles, finally arriving at the destination.
Chen Shanhe stepped out of the car first, his movements steady, then turned around and gently helped Wanjing up.
He gently and steadily helped her off the motorcycle.
Wan Jing landed on her feet, her body swaying slightly. After the long journey, her legs were already sore and weak.
She steadied herself by taking his arm, and slowly raised her eyes to look up—
Upon seeing this, he was instantly stunned, and even his breathing became lighter.
Where before me now lies the quiet, ancient streets and alleys of Qinglong Town.
The straight and wide avenue stretched as far as the eye could see, with cars shuttling back and forth and pedestrians coming and going in droves, creating a bustling and lively scene.
Skyscrapers stand tall, piercing the sky; plaques hang high, their characters eye-catching; shops line the streets, their doors and windows gleaming.
As the lights began to twinkle in the distance, the sounds of people, vehicles, and vendors mingled together, creating a dazzling and overwhelming spectacle.
Wan Jing's lips parted slightly, her eyes filled with shock and unfamiliarity, her expression showing a hint of helplessness.
Chen Shanhe stood beside her, his gaze slowly sweeping over the bustling city, his heart also churning with turmoil that lingered for a long time.
This is the provincial capital.
This unfamiliar, bustling, and prosperous provincial capital.
This is the place where they will settle down, strive, and carve out their own path.
Poems as proof:
Traveling through dust and wind to a distant city.
The car stopped and the air began to clear.
A new world unfolds before our eyes.
From this point on, life took a new turn.
II. Overwhelmed by the dazzling prosperity, one's heart is filled with awe.
Su Wanjing gripped Chen Shanhe's hand tightly, her fingertips clenching slightly, and her palms were damp with sweat.
She grew up in the countryside of Qinglong Town, working at sunrise and resting at sunset, seeing only narrow alleys, fields, old trees, and small rivers.
I have never seen such a bustling, lively, and spectacular scene.
On the wide road, cars shuttle back and forth, honking their horns as they rush by;
The streets were packed with pedestrians, walking hurriedly, and the line stretched as far as the eye could see.
The shops on both sides are lined up one after another, with bright and shiny facades and eye-catching signs of various colors;
The sounds of hawking, laughter, cars, footsteps, and music from the shops create a vibrant, bustling atmosphere.
She was dazzled by the sights and didn't know where to look.
My heart was filled with a mixture of novelty, trepidation, and a touch of timid unease.
With so many people, such tall buildings, and such a vast world, she felt as insignificant as a pebble or a fallen leaf.
There was only one thought in my mind: I must not let go.
I was afraid that if I let go of his hand, I would be swept away by the vast crowd and never be able to find him again.
She quietly moved closer to Chen Shanhe, almost touching his arm, her voice soft and low, tinged with a hint of panic:
"Shanhe, this place... is so big and lively, I'm starting to panic."
Chen Shanhe turned his head to look at her and immediately saw through the surprise and unease in her eyes.
He gripped her small hand even tighter, his palm warm and dry, his grip steady and powerful.
His voice wasn't loud, but it was like a reassuring balm, each word sinking into her heart:
"Don't be afraid, I'm here."
With just those four simple words, Wan Jing felt a sudden sense of relief, and her panic instantly subsided.
The more bustling and unfamiliar the scene before her, the more she understood—
The man beside her was her only support and source of confidence in this vast provincial capital.
Poems as proof:
The dazzling prosperity is overwhelming.
My heart was filled with unease and mixed feelings.
But the one who held my hand is still here.
Why fear the long and winding road of life?
III. Mountains and rivers inspire ambition and calm the mind.
Chen Shanhe held Wanjing tightly, standing steadily by the roadside, his gaze slowly sweeping across the entire bustling provincial capital.
Despite the cacophony around him and the magnificent scenery before his eyes, he remained calm and composed, though his heart was shaken.
In just a short moment, he regained his composure and his expression returned to its usual calm and collected state.
He grew up in the countryside, witnessed the suffering of the people, was entrusted with important tasks by his neighbors, and endured the grievances and disputes of the world.
Having weathered many storms, they are no longer the young people who would be at a loss when faced with a big scene for the first time.
The bustling city before him, however vibrant and lively, could not suppress the unwavering composure within him.
His gaze was calm and clear, revealing his keen insight.
This provincial capital is a grand stage for realizing one's ambitions, but also a perilous battlefield.
Here are opportunities, benefactors, and a vast world where he can practice medicine, make a name for himself, and achieve fame.
However, there are also open and covert struggles, exclusion by peers, unseen storms and hidden reefs, and the wickedness of human nature.
But he was not afraid at all.
He possesses exceptional medical skills, a compassionate heart, a strong moral compass, and an unwavering sense of responsibility.
With Wanjing by his side and the earnest expectations of his fellow villagers behind him, he was no longer afraid.
Chen Shanhe took a deep breath, his chest slightly puffed out, and his eyes became even more determined, as if cast in steel.
He turned to look at Su Wanjing beside him, his voice not loud, but each word was firm and resounding.
"Wanjing, listen carefully."
"From today onwards, this provincial capital will be our new home."
"I, Chen Shanhe, hereby swear that I will rely on my own true abilities to establish myself firmly here."
"No one can stop it, no one can stop it."
Poems as proof:
Despite the dazzling world before my eyes, I remain undisturbed.
There is a compass in one's heart.
A man should aspire to rely on his medical skills.
Daring to shatter the dust amidst the winds and clouds.
IV. Joining hands and working together to secure this life.
Su Wanjing looked up quietly at Chen Shanhe in front of her.
His posture was as upright as a pine tree, his eyes as firm as iron, and his face showed no fear or confusion, only a calm and unwavering spirit.
That was the kind of person who could shoulder responsibilities, shelter from the wind, and protect from the rain; that was the most reassuring support she had in her life.
Wan Jing felt a warmth in her heart, and all her previous unease, anxiety, and panic vanished instantly.
She nodded gently, her eyes shining softly, her voice gentle yet firm:
"Wherever you are, I will be there."
If you settle down, I'll stay by your side; if you venture out, I'll accompany you.
"I'm sticking with you for the rest of my life."
Chen Shanhe felt a surge of warmth in his heart and gripped her hand tightly, his palm burning hot and his grip firm and steady.
He looked up again, his gaze sweeping over the boundless prosperity, and made a solemn vow in his heart.
I, Chen Shanhe, will not waste my time once I step into the provincial capital.
One must establish oneself through medical skills and conduct oneself with medical ethics.
Healing the sick and saving lives, never changing our original aspiration, never failing our fellow villagers, and never failing our families.
No matter how many storms we encounter, we will never bow our heads.
No matter how much exclusion we face, we will never back down.
I'm determined to forge a path for myself here, and build a life for my family.
To give Wanjing a stable and respectable life, to give her family glory and honor, and to give herself an account of her life.
Once the decision was made, he no longer hesitated.
He gently took Wanjing's hand, lifted his foot, and steadily stepped onto the provincial capital's main avenue.
The Harley was parked quietly behind me, while a vast future stretched out before me.
The two walked side by side, their figures intertwined, step by step entering this bustling new world.
From then on, we weathered storms together, sharing joys and sorrows.
Never to be separated, always together.
I vow to take root in this land, live a life that makes me proud, and live up to my life and the deep affection I have for you.
Poems as proof:
Hand in hand, we step into the big city.
With one heart devoted to each other, one feels light and carefree.
From this day forward, I will set my sights high.
Live up to your youth and your love.
