Siheyuan, integrating everything, cultivating the city

"Xiaomei, don't be sad because of these words." Li Xiangqian said gently, "They say these things only because they don't understand you. You have many good qualities that they don't know at all."

"But Brother Xiangqian, I'm really stupid and always do poorly on exams..." Wang Xiaomei said sobbingly.

"No, you're not stupid." Li Xiangqian said firmly, "Everyone has his own pace, you just need to find a method that suits you. Let's work together, okay?"

Wang Xiaomei looked at Li Xiangqian, and the tears in her eyes gradually disappeared, replaced by a firm strength. She nodded and held Li Xiangqian's hand tightly.

Time flies, Li Xiangqian and his friends gradually grow up into teenagers. They face challenges together, laugh together, and cry together. Although life in the compound is simple, it is full of warmth and beauty.

Once, Zhang Dazhuang encountered a difficult problem in a scientific experiment. He pondered for several days but could not find a solution. When Li Xiangqian found out, he immediately ran to Zhang Dazhuang's home and accompanied him to look through the materials and think about the solution.

"Da Zhuang, don't worry, we will take it step by step." Li Xiangqian said patiently, "There will always be difficulties, but as long as we don't give up, we will always find the answer."

Zhang Dazhuang looked at Li Xiangqian with gratitude and said, "Thank you, Xiangqian. With you here, I feel more confident."

Li Xiangqian smiled and said, "We are friends, and friends should help each other."

Chen Xiaohu encountered a bottleneck on the road of art. His paintings could never achieve the effect he was satisfied with. One day, he sat alone in a corner of the compound, looking at his paintings in frustration.

"Xiaohu, what's wrong with you?" Li Xiangqian walked over and asked with concern.

"Move forward, I feel like I'm not a good painter and I can never achieve the desired effect." Chen Xiaohu sighed.

"Every artist has a phase like this," Li Xiangqian consoled him. "What's important is that you believe in yourself and stick with it. You're already great, it just takes time."

After listening to Li Xiangqian's words, Chen Xiaohu regained his confidence. He said gratefully: "Thank you, Xiangqian. You always help me cheer up again."

Li Xiangqian and his friends spent countless unforgettable days in the compound. They grew up together, experienced wind and rain together, and met the challenges of the future together. In this special environment, they learned what friendship, persistence, and courage are.

After graduating from high school, the children in the compound left one after another and headed for their own futures. Zhang Dazhuang was admitted to a polytechnic university to continue pursuing his dream of becoming an engineer; Chen Xiaohu was admitted to an art college and began professional art studies; Wang Xiaomei chose to stay in a local normal school and prepare to become a teacher. Li Xiangqian was admitted to the art troupe and began his new life.

When Li Xiangqian first arrived at the art troupe, he felt everything was so new. He grew up in a military atmosphere, but the life in the art troupe was full of art and creativity. He liked this change, but also felt a little uncomfortable. The daily rehearsals, performances, and various art trainings kept him busy and fulfilled.

There were many excellent actors and musicians in the art troupe, and Li Xiangqian made many new friends. A girl named Liu Xinran caught his attention. Liu Xinran was a dancer in the troupe, with beautiful dancing and cheerful personality. The two soon became good friends.

"Xiang Qian, your performance is really contagious." Liu Xinran said to Li Xiang Qian after a rehearsal, with appreciation in his eyes.

"Thank you, Xinran." Li Xiangqian responded with a smile, "Your dancing is also great. Every time I see you dancing, I feel like I'm brought to another world."

Liu Xinran smiled shyly: "I'm so happy you said that. I hope we can make progress together."

As time went by, Li Xiangqian gradually found his place in the art troupe. Not only did he make a breakthrough in acting, he also began to learn directing and screenwriting. His efforts and talents were recognized by the seniors in the troupe, and he gradually became a backbone member of the troupe.

Once, Li Xiangqian received an important task: to choreograph a large-scale theatrical performance. This was the first time he took on such a task independently, and he was both excited and nervous. For this performance, he worked day and night, carefully designing every link.

During the rehearsal, Liu Xinran was always by his side to support him. She was not only the main actor in the performance, but also helped coordinate various tasks. The tacit cooperation between the two made the work of the entire team go smoothly.

"Go forward, we will definitely have a success in this performance." Liu Xinran said to him after a rehearsal, his tone full of confidence.

"Well, let's work hard together." Li Xiangqian nodded, his heart full of anticipation.

On the day of the performance, Li Xiangqian stood backstage, watching the actors on stage, and he was extremely excited. The lights, music, dance and performance intertwined to form a beautiful picture. He knew that this was not only the result of his personal efforts, but also the result of the joint efforts of the entire team.

After the performance, the audience burst into warm applause. Li Xiangqian, Liu Xinran and other actors took the stage to take their bows, their faces filled with joy and pride.

That night, Li Xiangqian walked alone in the courtyard of the art troupe, his heart full of emotion. He thought of his friends in the courtyard and wondered how they were doing now. Although everyone had separated, he knew that their friendship would not fade because of the distance.

Just then, Li Xiangqian's cell phone rang. It was Zhang Dazhuang calling.

"Xiang Qian, I heard that your performance was very successful. Congratulations!" Zhang Dazhuang's voice came from the other end of the phone, full of excitement.

"Thank you, Da Zhuang." Li Xiangqian said with a smile, "How are you doing in school?"

"I'm doing fine here too, and the experiment is going well." Zhang Dazhuang said, "But I really miss the days when we were together in the compound."

"Me too." Li Xiangqian said with emotion, "But we all have our own paths to follow, don't we?"

"Yes, no matter where we are, our hearts are always connected," said Zhang Dazhuang.

After hanging up the phone, Li Xiangqian felt a warm feeling in his heart. He knew that although they were running in different directions, the bond of friendship always existed. Although their youth had come to an end, a new chapter had begun, and everyone was pursuing their own dreams.

Life in the art troupe is busy and fulfilling. Li Xiangqian not only learned a lot of professional knowledge here, but also made more like-minded friends. He and Liu Xinran became closer and closer. The two discussed art together and shared the little things in life. Liu Xinran's cheerfulness and enthusiasm brought a lot of joy to Li Xiangqian's life, allowing him to feel the warmth of home after busy work.
