Chapter 639 Cherish Life
Brother Cheng was encouraged, so he continued: "If our government intervenes, just like the leprosy isolation in the past - they can attack our government and say that our government violates human rights - just like the isolation of lepers described in the book, the isolation of lepers at that time was criticized by many liberals."
"If the government lets it go, they will say that the government does not care about the lives of the people and criticize the government for not taking action-" Old Master Cheng added.
"And... and..." Brother Cheng carefully recalled the contents of the book. Finally, he remembered, clapped his hands, and said quickly, "Leprosy patients have terrible sequelae! So, if a new virus spreads, after a long time, the virus is conquered by humans, but people who have been infected with the disease will be left with terrible sequelae-"
"A large part of our country's economic income depends on the demographic dividend-people's loss of labor is undoubtedly a heavy blow to national development! This damage may last for decades..."
Old Master Cheng added again: "Conquer the virus? This is still an optimistic situation. The most terrible thing is that if in the end, people do not conquer the virus-then, in order to protect their health, people will reduce travel plans as much as possible...If people do not circulate, money will sink, and the speed of economic development will stagnate. Moreover, the virus will attack people again and again, and people will be troubled by the disease for a long time...And those growing and developing children will bear the brunt. After they get sick, it will affect the normal development of the body and leave sequelae...Even if there are no sequelae, it will delay learning..."
Old Master Cheng couldn't say it anymore.
He looked up at Cheng Ling.
Cheng Ling sat there, her eyebrows and eyes were calm, neither sad nor happy, neither affirming their words nor denying them.
That was tacit agreement.
Cheng's mother covered her mouth.
"Xiao Ling, you know, our family is of one mind and is willing to support you unconditionally," Cheng's father said, "but there is only one thing, you must remember, you must know where your ability limit is, and never try to be strong."
"I know very well where my limit is," Cheng Ling said softly, "and I cherish my life more than you think - you don't know how much I cherish everything I have now."
"So, I work harder and can't let anything or anyone destroy everything I have now."
Cheng Ling rarely showed such a fragile expression. She whispered: "... Once upon a time, I hated the injustice of heaven and cursed God for being blind! However, since I had you, I have never cursed the sky again. In fact, I am very grateful to him."
Tears rolled in Cheng's mother's eyes.
Finally, she couldn't bear it anymore, stood up, sobbed and walked quickly to the bathroom.
Cheng Ling looked at her mother's back, with a gentle and distressed expression on her face.
Father Cheng sighed: "Xiao Ling, you know, from childhood to adulthood, your mother has always been unwavering and fully supports you in everything you do."
"From the time you wanted to enter the entertainment industry, to you chasing men in various ways, to you doing big things, she never said a single word of 'no'... It's not that she is narrow-minded, because she is your mother."
"During the time you were in California, she was worried every day, couldn't eat or sleep well, and often had nightmares. She was awakened by the dream and sat by the window until dawn - I asked her what nightmare she had, but she refused to say it. She also said that as long as she didn't tell the content of the nightmare, the nightmare would not come true..."
Cheng Ling felt that her throat was blocked by a lump.
She suppressed the sourness in her eyes, then stood up and went to the bathroom to find her mother.
Mother Cheng covered her face in the bathroom, her shoulders trembling, and cried silently.
Cheng Ling pulled her mother into her arms and said softly, "Mom, I promise you that I will definitely protect my own life first and won't be in any danger. I promise you that in the future, I will take you to see all kinds of scenery, see all kinds of handsome men, and eat all kinds of delicious food all over the world..."
Mother Cheng then burst into tears.
Her tears wet Cheng Ling's shoulders.
My mother cried like this because of the Heji Society!
Cheng Ling's chest was burning with anger.
