"Thank you …"

When Wang Haidi weighed the nickel coins in her hand, she suddenly felt a sense of pride and ambition, and then she was put out by reality. This is the day when Wang Haidi earned hard-earned money by her own strength. She also looked around happily in her previous life. She promised her father to buy a pack of ninety-five statues, her mother to buy a cardamom perfume, and her little girlfriend to buy a sexy dress. But when it came to the last moment, Wang Haidi didn’t feel sorry. Hathaway was suffering from illness. She needed money to buy painkillers.
Wang Haidi pulled away and walked away with a fat belly. Lyman stopped Wang Haidi and gave Wang Haidi a five-finned cunningly. "Selim, you did well today. Will you come again?"
Wang Haidi is a temporary porter. Compared with those professional dockers, Lyman doesn’t have to pay him too much. Moreover, Wang Haidi is only sixteen years old and has never seen the world. Unlike the old oil workers in the porter, he struggles to pay more than anyone else. Lyman doesn’t suffer at all.
"Want me to have a breath left …" Wang Haidi lifted her arm, which was almost numb, and clutched the nickel, copper, and five finney coins in her hand, some of which were tolerable.
The price in Germany is not expensive, but what can I buy with ten pennies?
Can buy two eggs, 35 grams of hard brown bread, and a small piece of Kiel produces a little more than a pound of sour cheese, potatoes and twenty cents of painkillers.
Rainbow, little sunset glow, leisurely seabirds, broken white waves and warships, coastal highlands lighthouse and coastal defense fort Kiel are beautiful, but this doesn’t belong to Heidi. Once Gao Fushuai was white with life worries, Heidi Selim held the nickel washed by sweat in her hand and couldn’t help howling.
"Poseidon 1 I swear I will let my relatives live in a big house with a garden as an adult, let my children ride in a four-horse carriage, let my wife be as beautiful as Marilyn Monroe, and let me sleep with imperial goldmark on my pillow every night! If I want to live, I must live to be a hundred years old before I go to that overpass to take my great-great-great-great-great-great-great-grandson to beat the Jianghu Taoist half to death and let him send me back! "

On the way home from work, the newsboy’s hand was full of newspapers about the war in the Far East. In July, the war in the Far East was on the verge of breaking out. Both the Chinese and the Japanese sent more troops to North Korea. beiyang fleet went out to sea to cruise, and many British armored cruisers also married other navies. Although Wang Haidi was very concerned about the war and a newspaper paid a lot of money, Heidi never stopped.
In July, 1994, the naval battle of Toyoda broke out. In September, 1994, both the battle of Pyongyang and the naval battle of the Yellow Sea were defeated. In February, 1995, ahava played "Operation Rainbow" in the Qing Dynasty. Although Wang Haidi didn’t know the specific process of the war, he knew nothing about the tragic ending of beiyang fleet and the fact that the motherland was sinking deeper and deeper.
"My poor motherland is not your unfilial grandson, but I am really capable …"
Walking from the pier, the bustling downtown area of Kiel and the poor and dilapidated streetscape of the area are constantly retreating. It is a little confusing to think of those who are ambitious and have to starve to death before they get started.
****
Behind every bustling city, there must be a lot of blood, tears and bitterness, and there must be a lot of shadows on its glamorous appearance. You know, if Vatican cardinals and Vienna peace politicians advocate this world, there will be no utopian paradise after all.
After the 17-year Franco-Prussian War, hundreds of thousands of people moved from the eastern part of the empire to the western part, and fields from Silesia and Poznan, West Prussia and East Prussia poured into big cities such as Berlin and Kiel. The young German Empire experienced the largest and longest population migration upsurge in history, and Kiel was also the beneficiary of the migration. Many eastern and eastern Prussia immigrated to married with children to this harbor that was favored by Poseidon.
It is true that the sculpture of the warrior soul by Ernst-Ballach, located in front of Nicholas Cathedral and the church in the city center, has stood for a hundred years after wind and rain; The story of a century-old oak tree in the suburbs is still budding and continuing; Kiel Bay, with its blue waters, is still quietly waiting for the annual sailing week, when the world sailing enthusiast Yunkiel breaks the waves; Kiel naval base has inherited the German naval dream. Saxony-class and Brandenburg-class armored ships are quietly anchored. Kiel, an important seaport city along the Baltic Sea at the starting point of Kaiser Wilhelm Canal, the capital of Schleswig-Holstein, Germany, has never lacked romance and psychology. Wang Haidi seems that it is still not Plato’s utopia or Moore’s utopia.
In 1994, the aftermath of Germany’s economic crisis in 173 is about to dissipate, and the haze has gradually moved away from the unification of the German people’s empire, breaking the shackles of Germany’s economic development. This young country is full of vigor and vitality, but its rulers and people still lack experience in governing the country.
The closed and conservative rural areas have been broken, and several old-fashioned nobles are famous for their jumping feet and cursing all new things while carefully investing in factories and enterprises; The factory with dark chimneys was built, and the ancient city walls were pushed to the clear water, the sand and the white Rhine gradually became dirty, and the city expanded several times like a monster that swallowed everything; Farmers were deprived of their land and driven to cities full of opportunities and disasters, and the exhaustion of oppression by new businessmen led to a 19-year strike in Ruhr and Silesia.
In the southeast corner of Kiel city, large tracts of wooden shacks and uniform mortar bungalows are piled up in disorder. Smoke wafts from the industrial area, and smoke can’t be dispersed all day long. Industrial and domestic sewage roads flow freely. Hunger and warmth are struggling for the poor to drag their tired bodies around, and the consequences brought about by excessive expansion of the city are revealed. This is a secret scar behind Kiel. There are violence, hunger, waiting and fleeing in confusion.
After the rain, the slum is far from being as graceful as people think. It is full of desperate gray tones. Heidi Selim lives in that dilapidated cabin. The moth-eaten wooden board and the old waterproof skin can’t stop the infiltration of stagnant water, accompanied by penetrating raindrops and marginal darkness, humidity and decay.
The sound of matches scratching and clapping sounded alternately. Blunt instigated the newly cultivated cigarette addiction to be put out by Anne instantly. A small piece of old newspaper and inferior tobacco leaves were suddenly scattered all over the floor. Anne, the little daughter of Wang Haidi’s neighbor, Shrek, grinned at him. If you dare to pick it up, I will fight with you desperately.
"Don’t let people pretend to be deep and play melancholy?" Although I miss the smell of cigarettes, Wang Haidi dare not test little Annie’s bottom line, so she has to take back the matchbox and carefully play with the painting tools that he regards as treasures.
Heidi Selim, a porter who just came back from the dock near dinner, stole a little leisure wooden shack while boiling water, and set up a drawing board. In the dim light outside, Haidi sat on a small bench, holding a sketching pen with a leftover pen and cocked her head to try to smooth out the waste paper and copy his impression of the world. Fifteen-year-old Anne was crouching over Haidi, bared her teeth and forced her to draw a chrysanthemum grass.
Sketch, fine brushwork, shadow shading When I was in college, I chased my little girlfriend and studied hard to practice my art skills. Anne also kept yelling at Wang Haidi’s ear to see the chrysanthemum grass, but Wang Haidi was somewhat absent-minded and distracted. A colorful and attractive KFC roast chicken printed paper. Wang Haidi remembered that he had not eaten seriously for a long time.
"Is this the chrysanthemum grass you gave me?" Annie’s pout can almost hang a soy sauce bottle. Wang Haidi is holding her hand like a stomach stand. It’s so embarrassing that someone has diverted Annie’s attention.
"There’s a letter for you from Mr. Heidi Selim." A motorized bicycle crossed the street and stopped in front of a wooden hut. The muddy path was covered in dark green. The postman took out a courier from his bag and carefully compared the house number. He shouted to Wang Haidi.
"my mail?" Wang Haidi put away her brush and was surprised. Except for Catherine, who was madly in love, Wang Haidi couldn’t think of anyone who would send a letter to him. He lived in Kiel and never lived in Kiel.
"If you are Mr. Heidi Selim," the postman said with a good-natured smile on his foot.
Wang Haidi tightened her legs and managed to fit her shoes. She limped past and took the letter from the postman.
It was a beautifully packaged letter. The white snow letter was sealed with the portrait of Humboldt brothers. Haidi guessed the source of the letter vaguely. She was afraid of being covered with lead marks and dirt. Her old clothes were wiped and wiped until the thick calluses on her fingertips were clearly visible. Heidi reached out and took the light letter.
"Congratulations, Mr. Selim-Heidi can be admitted to Berlin University. You can be regarded as a breath earned by Kiel people." The postman, who has always respected German knowledge, patted Heidi’s powerful arm with a heartfelt smile.
"Is it the University of Berlin?" Little Anne stared at her eyes and covered her mouth with surprise. "It’s Berlin University!"
The University of Berlin, formerly known as Friedrich-Wilhelm University in Berlin, is located in the center of Berlin. The former King Henrich’s Palace is the oldest university in Berlin, Germany. It was founded in 19 years by Humboldt, the most famous educator in German history. It is the starting point of the rise of Germany’s higher education. German universities practice elite education. After graduation, most of them can become government officials or employees of large enterprises. Wang Haidi can get one out of ten thousand, which means that he can escape from the desperate area of Kiel slum. In view of this, it is strange that the enthusiastic postman will applaud him.
The wealth of the second generation can’t compare with the wealth of the second generation. They can always pass the college entrance examination. With tragic psychology and foresight, Hathaway urged Wang Haidi to look at Tim Kroeger’s middle school classmates with cynicism and apply for the most cowardly traveler in the history of Berlin University. Wang Haidi finally made a great achievement that barely deserved to be a traveler.
Wang Haidi’s agitation didn’t last long. When I thought of Hathaway’s serious illness, debt and ruthlessness, Uncle Schneider’s good mood was swept away in an instant.
The postman has gone far away by bike, and it seems that there is still a little admiration and praise in the wet air. Wang Haidi, who often moves heavy objects, pressed the envelope and tore it up with a complicated and tangled smile.
The letter with the principal’s personal seal and excellent quality floated out. It was not long, and it was not as colorful as the admission notice of Nanjing University of Science and Technology in later generations. Just like the rigorous scholarship of German universities, the letter mentioned Wang Haidi’s admission major, date of study and matters needing attention, but it was such a few hundred words that made Wang Haidi’s heart turn upside down.
Wang Haidi looked at the notice and hesitated at the portrait of the Humboldt brothers in the envelope. "Is it Berlin or Kiel?"
