You can eat it but you are not allowed to miss it

I also used to go out together, so it was natural to get closer.Also, Lily's grandfather and mine were cousins, though not third-degree relatives in that sense.However, the situation in our family is more complicated. My grandfather is the biological son of the second son in the family, and Lily's grandfather is a half-brother, but adopted to the great-grandfather who is the eldest brother.So, Lily is also my sister.But if my daughter-in-law doesn't like me getting too close to others, I will definitely be careful in the future. "

I nervously sent this passage, and after waiting for a while, I received a reply: "Got it!"

That's it?finished?

I was still hesitating whether I should escape from the venue, when my mother led the guests she had invited to meet her and introduced them: "This is my son!"

"Your son is truly a talent!"

I can't get out again.Finally finished greeting my uncles and aunts.It was almost time for the dinner party to begin.However, A Yu still did not appear.No way, I can only bite the bullet.I pretended to be relaxed and walked onto the stage.In front of me was a group of ladies and gentlemen in elegant gowns, all eyes focused on me under the spotlight.But I didn't see the pair of eyes I expected.

I calmly said to everyone: "Thank you for coming to today's charity dinner! I want to tell you a story first, I have a friend, really a friend." I smiled, "When he was in his twenties, Like many people, he went to school, worked, entered the society step by step, met a man, and entered the palace of marriage early. His family is a happy family of three recognized by the world, with a virtuous and beautiful wife and a lovely A three-year-old child, but every time he dreams back at midnight, he finds himself covered in cold sweat, hiding on the balcony alone, blowing the cold wind, and smoking cigarettes one by one. The wife wakes up and finds that her husband is not around, and the sparks of the cigarette butts are reflected in the window glass. one dark."

I paused, the huge space was silent, everyone was focused on my narration, "the wife gently hugged her husband from behind, and asked him what's wrong? He didn't say anything, but stubbed out the half-burned cigarette butt. The wife said : Didn’t you quit smoking? Parents are urging us to have a second child?”

There was sporadic laughter.It was as if he had been substituted into a man who was overwhelmed by life.

"He's actually not interested at all, in the second child, in his wife's body." I became serious, "He was born in a wrong body, and since he was a child, he has been pretending to be a strong, courageous, and capable person A young man in a family. He really wants to be himself, but being himself has a price. First of all, how does he face his old father and mother who have worked so hard to support him? His father is not a rich man, but he rides a tricycle to deliver goods and move things for others. The client asked his father to move a bulky solid wood cabinet to the fifth floor. There is no elevator, but for the 100 yuan labor fee, the business will soon be taken away by others. The father bit the bullet and moved up to the fifth floor, exhausted Panting, unable to straighten his waist, the customer said to the corner of the cabinet where the paint was scratched: only 80 yuan, my cabinet is an antique! I haven’t made you lose money yet!”

Some audience members frowned.

"Parents lived frugally, bought a house for themselves, and married relatives. Although the wife occasionally complained about her parents-in-law, she has always been diligent and thrifty in managing the house, responsible for the children, and there are hot meals when she comes home. She is being herself and doing things for others. During the work, he was extremely hesitant. Every night, he wanted to jump off the balcony on the fifteenth floor, and it would be settled once and for all."

Everyone is silent.The atmosphere was extremely depressing.

"If someone can give him a hand when he is stuck in self-difficulty, even just say a word, I can understand you. Does he feel that he is not completely isolated in this world? If he can meet the same kind, Talking about the depression in each other's hearts, and seeing the stories of others gaining understanding from their family members, can it point out a feasible path?" I threw the question to my audience, and there was another short silence, and someone made a supportive voice: "It should be pulled Give him a hand!"

"According to the data released by the World Health Organization in 2019, 70 people worldwide commit suicide every year, which means that one out of every 100 deaths is suicide. Another American study shows that people like my friend The probability of suicide attempts among transgender people is 41%. About 80% of transgender people have thought about committing suicide. Especially in adolescence, discrimination and violence may destroy every fresh life waiting to bloom. I want to do something for these people."

I pressed down on my laptop, ready to show off a product design my team had made—a LGBTQ, counseling, and suicide-prevention app.I hope this product can not only help sexual minorities, but also let other people understand this group, so as to eliminate discrimination.

"Now I'm showing you this upcoming app. I hope that through the small programs and level-breaking games in it, you can help everyone understand gender diversity and sexual orientation diversity. Education will not turn heterosexuals into homosexuals, nor will it convert cis Gender becomes trans, but education can make us understand people who are different from us, and reduce strange stares!"

The product display did not appear on the big screen as expected. I pressed it several times, but it was still unsuccessful.Just when I was at a loss, a familiar voice sounded, "Excuse me, is this Alex?"
