we are not twins

Dawn came in a blink of an eye.This is the last day of the MaD conference, and the open space outside the theater has been surrounded by bronze sculptures and foam panels into a small open-air theater.Wang Mengqi and Zuo Xiaoxiao put on uniform hats, took their previously designed business cards, and came here to prepare.

The water drop forum is derived from the fact that a small water drop can cause a circle of ripples, and a weak force can be transmitted to the surroundings to generate greater energy.Any MaDees who have passed the application can introduce their projects and teams in this outdoor venue, initiate discussions, brainstorm, find like-minded partners, and gain media attention.

They heard a girl from the United States talk about her plan to unite girls from all over the world to provide safe travel support for each other. They heard a teenager from Macau describe his urban organic farm. They also heard that the bird protection team of college students from Inner Mongolia hoped to develop volunteers The idea of ​​travel, at the end, when the two of them stood in the middle, aroused predictable curiosity.

"Are these two brothers?" Someone whispered, "It's really interesting."

"Hi everyone, my name is LDS, and this is my partner MickeyWang. We are preparing an open, professional, social innovation public welfare platform for young people - BoomingEra, which can also be called 'Shengdai'. This is not a chocolate sundae It's not a strawberry sundae, but a prosperous future era." Zuo Xiaoxiao didn't know why Wang Mengqi pushed him to the front to give a lecture, and started training him a month ago.Since he insisted so much, he would do it himself, since he still has a lot of arms anyway.According to Wang Mengqi's intention, he compressed the whole plan into 5 minutes and finally shouted the slogan, "Booming Era, Raising Dreamer!"

There was applause and the spotlight was shining. It could be seen that everyone still admired them and raised many questions and suggestions with great interest. Wang Mengqi and him answered them one by one alternately.

Several of the adults, who looked like journalists, asked if they were brothers.

Wang Mengqi put his arm around his partner's shoulder and said, "It's my cousin."

Wearing black-rimmed glasses, the small female reporter was holding the camera and tilting her head as if she was thinking about something. Suddenly, she pointed at them and shouted in broken Mandarin: "Wang Mengqi, left Tiny?!"

The two people who were called by their names were stunned, wondering when did their insignificant reputation reach her ears?

The female reporter spoke to her colleagues in Cantonese, and everyone looked suddenly enlightened. Then the female reporter explained to them in Mandarin that she had read a local photography magazine in Shenzhen, which contained reports about the two of them. Her impression It was very profound, so I have been reminiscing just now.

Another fat man said, "Then you are not cousins, but two strangers who are not related by blood?"

The female reporter and everyone at the scene looked at them, hoping to get a little excuse or answer.

Wang Mengqi stood there in a daze, at a loss.He didn't care, but he always knew that Zuo Xiaoxiao didn't like being exposed, not to mention there were students from the same school, if they found out the truth, how would they get along with each other when they went back?It is really uncomfortable to be charged with being a big talker.

Zuo Xiaoxiao had another fight in his heart.

He thinks, it’s embarrassing now. The speaker’s personal credit directly affects everyone’s impression of BoomingEra. If you make up a story on the spot, you will have to make up more stories to cover your lies in the future. Anyway, it’s annoying to act in school, so why don’t you just leave it at that Admit it.

In addition, every minute of the past three days has also pushed him to make this determination.Through the conference, he felt that the barriers of the world are being broken down, and human beings are inherently a race that needs mutual care.People discussed social injustice openly, people frankly narrated their misery and struggles, and people happily shared their life experiences.If certain past experiences are a shadow that weighs on the heart, then MaD is the light of the sun and the moon that drives away the darkness.

Now, Zuo Xiaoxiao is open-minded and fearless, and he also wants to tell his story out loud.

He picked up the microphone, brought it to his mouth, and said to everyone in English with a straight voice: "Yes, my English name is LDS, and my Chinese name is Zuo Xiaoxiao. My partner and I were originally two Intersecting parallel lines. Mickey’s family is rich and full of hope in life. I’m from a poor family and dropped out of high school. Because I haven’t seen hope, I don’t know what despair is. Mr. François’s photography project made us both fateful Out of his natural kindness, Mickey offered to help me go back to school and change my destiny through the power of knowledge. I accepted. Half a year ago, I delivered food in an urban village where low-income people gathered. My biggest dream It is to open an Internet cafe. Half a year later, that is, today, everyone has seen it——I speak English that is not fluent and idiomatic but clear, and I have a beautiful vision for the future. , turned into MaDee who dreams of changing the world, is this a fairytale? No, it’s not a fairytale.”

He paused, observing the audience.

People listened more seriously than when the plan was announced before, the reporters kept taking pictures and recording, and the students from the same school were both surprised and moved...Where is Wang Mengqi?Well, Wang Mengqi stood aside silently, leaning against the wooden castle, not knowing what he was thinking.

Never mind, continue to summarize: "Many movies have different versions, overseas version, mainland cut version, director's version, extended version... I am very grateful to Mickey, let me see another version of myself. Therefore, I believe that the BoomingEra project initiated by Mickey, a young man with love, passion, faith, and dreams, will surely achieve real success. I, Zuo Xiaoxiao, the uncut and extended version of the director’s cut, will always stand Beside him."

After finishing speaking, bow.

The applause this time can really be described as "thunder".
