Infinite Life: Trapped in a lifetime

"They don't dare bully you. But for your last words, you deserve a beating."

"Grandpa, I don't mean anything else. I don't think there's anything wrong with 'Mo', I just..."

The bullied boy from Kerner returned home with a bruised nose and a swollen face.

I confided my experience to my grandfather who had also just returned from the factory.

Listening to grandpa's evaluation of his experience while giving him medicine,

The young man blushed all of a sudden and said incoherently,

Influenced by his grandfather, he also had great respect for Kerner Youth, Mo, Pars and others of Kerner Youth.

Before, he just wanted to say that Mo was a foreigner and there was no problem. Why should he bully a southern tribe like him?

"I just..."

"I know, but Mo is someone outside. Mo is the person closest to Kerner."

In the past two years, the respect and admiration for Mo Dao has spread from the youth of Kelna to the entire Kelna.

The old man Kerner knew what his grandson was thinking, so he didn't blame him. He just touched the young man's head and said this.

The young man lowered his head, and after a while of silence, he raised his head again and said to his grandfather,

"Grandpa, there is a club composed of southern tribes in the school. I want to join them so that those people can't bully me..."

"No!"

Old man Kelner, who was originally in a very calm mood, suddenly became stern.

"Stay away from those people, don't join them!"

"Why! Grandpa, we are from the southern tribe!"

The young man became a little stubborn.

The old man became a little angry. He put aside the medicine he was holding and stood up.

"You are from Kerna! You are not from the southern tribe or the northern tribe! Remember this!"

"But Grandpa, should I let them bully me like this?"

"Whoever bullies you, fight back, and whoever hits you, hit him! Instead of joining the tribesmen in the south!"

"You are from Kerna, do you remember?"

The old man looked at his grandson, his eyes a little red.

The young man also stood up, craning his neck and looking up at his grandfather with tears in his eyes, but he remained stubborn and did not speak.

"Grandpa, they just bully us, and they bullied us before!"

After looking at each other for a while, the boy burst into tears and said with some resentment in his eyes.

"Don't hate!"

After listening to the young man's words, the old man also blushed, as if he was irritated by the young man's words.

He pulled out a thin wooden stick from the side and hit his grandson.

"You can hate the people who bully you, but you are not allowed to hate the northern tribes."

"Did you hear that? Don't hate me!"

"I just hate them!"

The young man said again.

When the old man heard this, there were more tears in his eyes. He might have been a little distressed, but he still hit him hard.

"No hate!"

"Did you hear that? Don't hate me!"

"Why?"

"...Have you seen this? If it were before, our family wouldn't have had this, so you could only endure it."

The old man felt distressed and angry at the same time. He picked up the bottle of medicine from the side and threw it to the young man.

"Have you seen where we live? Have you seen it before?"

"Seeing that we don't have any food to eat at night, where did all this come from...Young man Kerner said there can't be conflict among tribes, so there can't be conflict!"

"If I do it, you have to do it too!"

Old man Kerner didn't have much education;

But he accepted death.

Since Young Kerner said so, then he will admit it! !

"No hate, do you hear me?"

The old man said to his grandson again angrily.

At the same time, he seemed to be talking to himself.

In his age, in the past few decades, people from the southern tribes in Kernane have been oppressed.

Isn't the bullying he suffered worse than that of his grandson?

However, since the Kerna youth said that the northern and southern tribes want peace, then he is willing to do so!

He didn't believe in others, he just believed in the young man Kerner.

His experiences in the first half of his life and the current situation told him that Kellner could no longer continue to fight like before.

The young man listened to his grandfather's words and did not refute.

He just lowered his head and remained silent, seeming a little unconvinced and aggrieved.

The standing body was twitching.

The old man dropped the thin wooden stick in his hand, looked at his grandson, and said no more.

He just silently picked up the medicine that he just dropped on the ground.

This scene at this moment,

Just like a microcosm of countless similar scenes throughout Körna,

Beneath the surface of Kellner's rapid prosperity,

The forces supporting the youth of Kerner collided fiercely with the historical inertia of Kerner at various levels.

It seems calm, but in fact the danger may not be as high as the previous ultra-high-intensity decisive battle.

As for the severity of tribal issues in Kerner, after a U-shaped curve,

Compared to before, there is actually no difference at all.

According to Kellner’s statistics,

Those who are resistant to Kerna Youth’s measures to ease the ethnic conflict between the north and the south,

After these two years, the proportion of elderly people who have experienced more has obviously become smaller.

On the contrary, the proportion of young people from Kerner has increased.

In addition, the ratio of the two tribes in the north and south to initiate conflicts is not one to one.

But the people of the northern tribes are significantly higher than the southern tribes... Obviously during the time of Carlson before, and even the 'king',

People from the southern tribes are more bullied, but at this moment, there are more people from the northern tribes who are hateful and dissatisfied with the southern tribes.

…

Late January.

The local affairs staff of the Kellner Youth are preparing for a Chinese New Year celebration.

Mainly because after undertaking most of the major projects in Kernane, there have been many Chinese people in Kernane in the past few years.

The young man from Kerner expressed his enthusiasm and showed his friendship as a landlord.

The heads of the Chinese side of Kellner's major projects will be invited to attend the New Year's celebration banquet together with the top management of Kellner Youth.

And at this juncture.

On the Internet, a piece of news about Kellner appeared.

Then, seemingly noticed by some old friends of the Kerner youth,

Adding fuel to the fire, it was immediately seen by a large number of Kerna people and people elsewhere on the Internet, causing widespread discussion.

At the same time, this news is like a trigger,

The already turbulent environment in Kernane and some of the problems that had always existed were brought out.

The content of the news is quite simple.

Most of the time, it is not a big deal for a country.

But at this time, Koerner...

"Why am I better than them in everything, my scores, my interviews, but they still took my position."

"Is it because they are from the southern tribe?"

The entire news originated from a blog post posted on the Internet by a civilian from the northern tribe of Kerna.

That’s the title of this entire blog post.

And the content is,

This civilian from the northern tribe of Kerna participated in a position directly recruited by young people from Kerna.

Compared to the workers recruited for most of Koerner’s youth investment projects,

This job is quite technically demanding, so the salary level and benefits are quite good.

It also attracted many people to participate.

The person who posted this is one of them.

He participated in the interview with full confidence, but in the end he was unsuccessful.

Then, he didn't know where he got the resume of someone who was better than him, as well as the results of the written test and interview for the position at that time.

Then he discovered that despite his significantly better grades and resume,

The people from the southern tribe behind him were admitted, but he failed.

And not just one, but three people from the southern tribes behind him were admitted.

But he, a member of the northern tribe, was left out.
