Departure!
To the Moon!
_2 “Sorry I digressed...
...
it’s a side effect of being a teacher; I always want to expand on things a bit.
After I had completed my education in general knowledge and history, I went on to attend middle school on Mars.
The most famous text in our textbooks at the time was ‘Moon Girl’.”
“This text told the story of Space-T Company and a little girl’s centuries-old promise, fulfilled with Jask himself accompanying the girl on her trip to the Moon.
It really was a very romantic text...
Although it certainly included promotion for Space-T Company, aimed at enhancing its corporate image and influence.
But after all, it was based on fact; Moon Girl Zheng Xiangyue did truly exist.”
“Once published, the article caused a sensation throughout Mars, boosting the reputations of Space-T and Jask to the highest level.
The name Moon Girl Zheng Xiangyue became well-known on Mars.
Naturally, the article ‘Moon Girl’ was also included in middle school textbooks; back then, we were required to memorize it in its entirety!”
Lin Xian suddenly became interested:
“Can you recite it in full right now?
I’d really like to hear it.”
Wei Shengjin waved his hand, chuckling twice:
“I definitely can’t recite it now...
but when my son and grandson were in school, I helped them with their homework, and ‘Moon Girl’ in their middle school textbooks still required full memorization.”
“You see, I awoke from the hibernation pod in 2574, by that time Zheng Xiangyue had been back from the Moon for several decades.
By the time my grandson was in middle school, this text had been circulating for over a hundred years...
calling it Mars’ most famous literary work is no exaggeration.”
Zheng Xiangyue referred to herself differently, more respectfully.
Because she very well knew that if in her teens she wrote about wanting to repay her brother Lin Xian, it naturally meant that Lin Xian had helped her a great deal, and their relationship was very close.
Only...
the after-effects of the hibernation pod made her forget everything.
Lin Xian thought for a moment.
He nodded slightly:
“I remember you.”
He smiled:
“But...
you probably don’t remember me, do you?”
Zheng Xiangyue’s expression was complex.
Part bewildered, part touched, and a bit at a loss:
“Sorry...
Mr.
Lin Xian.
I wish I could remember you, but unfortunately...
I’ve thought my entire life, recalled for a hundred years, but I couldn’t recall any detail about you.”
“It’s not just you...”
As she spoke, Zheng Xiangyue stretched out her wrinkled fingers, touching a piece of laminated paper in Lin Xian’s hands, pointing to where the first wish was written:
“I can’t even...
remember anything about my brother.
Even though there’s a photo on his urn, I looked at it for a long time, but I can’t remember anything, he’s just like a stranger, a complete stranger.”
Lin Xian watched the lonely Grandma Zheng Xiangyue...
In the dim light of the lard lamp inside, he still couldn’t help but overlap the image of the little girl laden with wires and electromagnetic patches on the hospital bed with her shadow.
It was as if she was still sitting on the sickbed on the 17th floor of Donghai University Affiliated Hospital,
still leaning on that big Rhine Cat Doll,
