Brother, I want to marry you! (Highly recommended!!!) Take your time and read it slowly~~

Disclaimer: I found this post on another forum; it's already received over 200,000 views. I spent three hours reading it from beginning to end, and it was incredibly moving! I'm posting it here so my friends can see it!

A week ago, a classmate in Canada called me. Gu Cheng, his sister, and their unborn child had been in a car accident and died instantly.
My mind went completely blank; I couldn't even believe my old classmate was playing an April Fool's joke. However, it was true. Gu Cheng's family was on a highway in Toronto when, trying to avoid cargo falling from a car in front, they crashed into the median strip, resulting in their deaths…
I finally believe that fate is so unfair, and I finally believe in the dialectic of perfection and imperfection. For some reason, I suddenly felt compelled to write down their story, because it seems so beautiful to me…
For the past week, I've tried to calm my emotions and organize my thoughts, recalling that era, recalling the moments with Gu Cheng and Gu Chan. I'm not a writer; I can only do my best to express myself, to express my sorrow for them, to express the love between them.

Gu Cheng, born in 1975, I met him at the university's freshman football tournament. Our two departments made it to the finals, and we were the center-backs for our respective teams; he was the captain. My initial impression was that he was very skilled on the field, clearly someone who had received professional training. What struck me even more was his demeanor. Unlike other freshmen, he wasn't full of youthful exuberance; his expression... It wasn't passionate, but rather very composed, even indifferent; whether leading or trailing; in the end, they won the game, but I wasn't too disappointed, perhaps it was a feeling of surrender; Gu Cheng walked straight towards me, patted me on the shoulder and said, "You played really well";
the second time I saw Gu Cheng was when I went to report to the school team, I saw him as soon as I entered the sports building, and he saw me too, we smiled faintly, as if we had both expected it; after the first training session that day, it was destined that we would become brothers, because for the next 4 years, we were partners, I played man marking, he played sweeper;
Gu Chan, born in 1978, she She was Gu Cheng's younger sister and wife. Gu Chan also entered our university during our junior year. I didn't find out until graduation that they weren't actually siblings; Gu Chan was adopted by Gu Cheng's father when she was only six months old.
Gu Chan was a very beautiful girl, the kind of girl who would be considered a heartthrob by today's standards. Indeed, many boys pursued her after she entered the university, but she seemed more indifferent than her brother.
I once asked Gu Chan what her criteria were for a boyfriend, and her answer was surprisingly unhesitating: someone like my brother. Gu Chan mentioned "little brother" and "older brother" to me more than once. He was my dearest, most beloved person. I could lose anything, but not him. At that time, Gu Chan didn't know her true identity.

That year, Gu Cheng and I graduated together. He found a job in Beijing, while I stayed in Shanghai. Gu Cheng asked me to take care of Gu Chan, who was still a junior in college. That day, Gu Cheng got drunk—the first time I'd ever known him—and he revealed her past to her in front of her.
For a long time afterward, I gradually learned more about their past from them, and Gu Chan gradually changed until one day she suddenly asked me, "Brother, do you think it's okay for me to marry you?"
Later, in 2001, they held their wedding, inviting only very close friends. At the end of the year, they went to Canada, where they remained until their deaths…

"Going to apply for citizenship in a couple of days; you should go to sleep early. I'm not working this afternoon; I'm going back to be with Xiao Chan. Time flies, I'll be a father in four months…" This was Gu Cheng's last message on MSN.

When did I begin writing this?

Their father was an ordinary railway switchman, reportedly following in his grandfather's footsteps. He spent his days at a small transfer station, directing passing trains.

The siblings had no memory of their mother. As children, they would pitifully ask their father where their mother was, and he would always simply say she was dead. It wasn't until Gu Cheng grew up that he learned from his grandmother that their mother had been abducted and trafficked. Shortly after Gu Cheng's birth, she had secretly climbed onto a train and never returned. When

Gu Cheng was three years old, his father brought home a baby girl and told him, "This is your sister." Gu Cheng was overjoyed at that moment because she was his sister. Most families had two children, but his family only had one. Now he finally had a younger sister. So, during his childhood, his sister was his little follower, always following Gu Cheng around with a snotty nose. When Gu Cheng went up trees or down to the river, Gu Chan couldn't go and would cry. Gu Cheng couldn't bear to see Gu Chan cry, so he would carry her up a tree. As a result, they both fell from the tree, and Gu Chan landed hard on the ground, breaking her hand.

Gu Chan cried and screamed all the way home, not daring to tell her father. But eventually, her father found out and rushed Gu Chan to the clinic. When they got back, Gu Cheng was trembling with fear, but his father didn't hit him. He just gently told him, "You're the older brother. You have to protect your sister, you know?" At that time, Gu Cheng nodded as if he understood, as if he saw his own tall and glorious image in his mind.

When they were little, Gu Cheng had a habit of combing his younger sister's hair. This habit continued even later when we traveled together in college. Every morning, Xiao Chan would rush into our room and ask Gu Cheng to comb her hair, saying she felt embarrassed at school but didn't care now. Gu Cheng always carefully styled Xiao Chan's hair, even braiding it in many different ways. I used to joke that Xiao Chan, once you have a husband, your brother can take over the hair-combing job, and Xiao Chan would always laugh and say that her brother combed it better.

Their father often worked night shifts, leaving only the two siblings at home. After dinner at their grandmother's house, they would go home and do their homework together. Gu Cheng would always tell Xiao Chan what he had learned first, even if she only half understood, and sometimes he would help her with her homework, though he wouldn't escape his father's slaps. Gu Cheng said that there was no electricity back then, and they did their homework by kerosene lamp. He remembered... The clearest memory I have is of pouring lamp oil. Gu Cheng would hold the scalding hot lampshade with the corner of his blanket, while Xiao Chan poured the oil from the bucket—they worked together perfectly. I think I even philosophically remarked that the two of them were destined to be husband and wife; pouring lamp oil was like managing their home—they coordinated so well that the

lamp burned so brightly. But what Xiao Chan told me most clearly wasn't any of that, but rather how he warmed her bed in winter. Xiao Chan was afraid of the cold, and in winter, without hot water bottles or anything like that, Gu Cheng would crawl into her bed before going to sleep to warm the blankets before she slept. Even when Xiao Chan was in high school, Gu Cheng would still warm her bed when he came home for winter break, leading me to often tease them, saying they had incestuous tendencies from a young age. Xiao Chan would always say seriously, "I slept so soundly when my brother warmed the blankets."

Their childhood was happy, yet hazy. Years later, when the siblings reminisced, they always had a youthful smile. But in the autumn of 1987, misfortune struck…
That day, the brother and sister were in class when their teacher and principal came looking for them and rode their bicycles to take them home. From afar, they could see a large crowd gathered around their small courtyard. Gu Cheng had a bad feeling. As they got closer to the crowd, he heard crying—the cries of his aunt, uncle, and grandfather; there were also many people in railway uniforms wiping away tears.

When they saw the brother and sister return, people made way for them. In the center of their courtyard, they saw their father, lying quietly on the door panel, his face covered with a piece of straw paper (a local custom, so he couldn't be exposed to light). Then they saw their grandmother, who was almost fainting, and their grandfather, who was weeping uncontrollably. Gu Cheng felt as if countless hands were reaching out to him, some crying, some laughing, and even some screaming. He couldn't believe what he was seeing, couldn't believe that his father, who had promised to give him and his sister a proper birthday celebration just yesterday, was gone today. Xiao Chan was so frightened that she hid behind Gu Cheng, trembling all over, her eyes filled with terror.

Gu Cheng said that at that moment, he didn't cry, but he knelt down; he said he saw his father alive, sitting there, smoking, saying, sentence by sentence, "You are the older brother, you must protect your younger sister..." He felt he grew up at that moment, holding Xiao Chan tightly in his arms, and Xiao Chan burst into tears in his arms;

his father was killed by thugs. That night, a train loaded with aluminum ingots stopped at the station to let other trains pass, and several thieves secretly climbed onto the train. His father discovered them and they ran away; his father chased after them desperately, and one of the slower thieves was pinned to the ground by his father. Somehow, the thief had a gun and, in the chaos, shot his father in the head...

After their father's funeral, the siblings moved in with their grandparents. They seemed much quieter after losing their father, rarely speaking to their classmates at school. After school, Gu Cheng would always go to his sister's classroom to help her sweep the floor, and then they would go home together. At first, Xiao Chan would have nightmares every night, waking up crying in the middle of the night. Each time she woke up, she would find her brother sitting beside her, and she would hold his hand and fall back asleep. That year, Gu Cheng was 12 years old, and Gu Chan was 9.

During that time, Gu Cheng said he often took his sister to their father's grave, which was by a bamboo grove behind the Yangtze River embankment. The two siblings would sit there for a long time, Gu Cheng silent, while Xiao Chan would cling tightly to her brother, often falling asleep. At that moment, Gu Cheng cried, looking at his father's tombstone, tears streaming down his face. It fell silently; he didn't want Xiao Chan to know because he wanted to protect her, and he had to be strong.

Gu Cheng said that whenever he and Xiao Chan visited their father's grave, he would silently tell his father, "I will definitely protect Xiao Chan." As the sun set, Gu Cheng held Xiao Chan's hand and walked along the embankment, their long shadows trailing behind them. Looking at the shimmering red glow of the setting sun on the river, Gu Cheng always felt a sense of melancholy, or perhaps a sense of confusion. He had grown up, much older than other children his age.

Xiao Chan told me the same thing as her brother: in the moment she lost her father, she felt that her brother was all she had left in her life. She believed that her brother would protect her, and that he would love and cherish her like their father did. I jokingly said, "You'll still have a husband," and Xiao Chan immediately smiled playfully. Yes, that's why my standard for a husband is someone like my brother.

In his third year of junior high, Gu Cheng was recommended by his PE teacher to the county sports school to play soccer. The teacher suggested he not fill out any high school applications, but instead use his extra points in sports to get into a vocational school or teacher training school (back then, vocational schools and teacher training schools were very prestigious, more desirable than top-tier high schools), so he could start working sooner. That year, Gu Cheng boarded at school. Also that year, his grandparents passed away one after another. With the help of relatives, he and his siblings sold their house and land in their hometown and temporarily lived with their aunt in the county town. At that time, Gu Cheng just wanted to get into vocational school quickly, start working quickly, and support his family quickly. Xiao Chan also transferred to a middle school in the county town and boarded there. That year, Gu Cheng was 14 years old and Gu Chan was 11 years old.
Gu Cheng entered the county sports school's soccer class and loved soccer. Gu Cheng said his father rarely drank, and even less often got drunk. However, in 1985, when the Chinese team failed to qualify for the World Cup, his father and his coworkers drank too much and came home smashing things, frightening him and his sister. His father also loved playing football and often took them to the dirt field in the warehouse area during breaks to play with the coworkers. Gu Cheng's love of football began there, as did Xiao Chan's love of watching football.

Their uncle was a very snobbish man. It's said that the railway bureau gave them a sum of money as compensation, but his family didn't receive a single penny. Therefore, whenever Xiao Chan and Gu Cheng visited their home, they were always treated coldly. Gu Cheng always laughed it off when he talked about this with me. He said that fortunately, their aunt treated them very well; otherwise, life would have been very difficult for the siblings.

After starting work... Gu Cheng once told me that he wasn't afraid of the sky falling or the earth collapsing, but he was afraid that Xiao Chan would be unhappy, or rather, not happy, because he would feel sorry for his father if that happened. His grandmother told Gu Cheng about Xiao Chan's background before she died, which only deepened his affection for her, or perhaps added an inexplicable layer of affection during his youthful, innocent years. At that time, friends would come over and joke with his grandmother that Gu Cheng and Xiao Chan were a good match and should get married when they grew up. Although the adults never said it to their faces, Gu Cheng said that he always felt a sense of pride after overhearing it.

Xiao Chan, however, knew nothing and continued to rely heavily on her brother, always doing her best to be spoiled and pampered. Her brother's training was very tough, and Xiao Chan would always take care of herself... She would use her pocket money to buy a popsicle, the kind that costs five cents, and then go to the sports school's training field to watch her brother play soccer. She would give the popsicle to her brother; Gu Cheng had said it was the best popsicle he

ever had. So they would share it, one bite for each other. The coach would come over and kick and yell at her, and Xiao Chan would even bite the coach because of it. Xiao Chan really admired her brother's soccer skills. I once pretended to be angry and said, "With your brother's skills, if I hadn't been there to protect him, would he have had it so easy?" Xiao Chan got angry with me, and I had to sign a contract to treat her to ice cream for a week before she would let me off the hook.

I asked Gu Cheng if she had ever fought for Xiao Chan, and he said of course. The kids at the sports school used to be really mean. Every time Xiao Chan went to watch them train, they would deliberately kick the ball towards her, then come over and jeer, and even insult her. Gu Cheng's tagalong, after many times, led to numerous confrontations between them, all of which he tolerated. Once, during training, a child went to retrieve a ball and muttered something to Xiao Chan. Gu Cheng rushed over and kicked the child, breaking his nose. The incident escalated, and the child's parents demanded an explanation. Gu Cheng was unable to do anything and was expelled from the sports class. Fortunately, his uncle had connections in the county, allowing him to attend a school and take the high school entrance exam.

Xiao Chan didn't dare mention it for a long time, afraid her brother would blame her. Gu Cheng also never spoke of it until later, around graduation time, when Gu Cheng, drunk, told Xiao Chan, "Little sister, if that kid dares to bully you, I'll definitely make him pay." Only then did Xiao Chan realize her brother had completely forgotten about it. He no longer participated in training, but the coach particularly liked him and often gave him opportunities... They would practice together, and the rest of the days were uneventful. On Sundays (back then, there were six days of school followed by one day of rest), Gu Cheng would take Xiao Chan to the sports school to play football. During the week, they lived separately at their respective schools, but Xiao Chan always preferred to go to her brother's. Gu Cheng's thoughts had also changed somewhat; he wanted to go to high school and hope to get into university.

When Xiao Chan was in the second year of junior high, writing letters was popular, so the siblings started writing letters. Years later, Gu Cheng showed me Xiao Chan's letters. First, the letter paper was covered with pictures of beautiful women in ancient costumes, like Barbara Yung, or the legendary "Twin Beauties of the Ages," and some song lyrics (the kind on 12-fold brochures). Then there were some lighthearted greetings between them. In those days, it wasn't about the content, but about finding solace.

Time flowed by, until one day something happened that left Gu Cheng both embarrassed and disappointed…
Xiao Chan successfully passed her high school entrance exam, and Gu Cheng entered his senior year, a very demanding time. Every weekend, Gu Cheng rarely went to play soccer anymore; the two siblings always went to school to study. Gu Cheng recounted that early in their senior year, during one study session, Xiao Chan suddenly complained of a stomachache. Gu Cheng asked if she had eaten something bad and suggested she go to the restroom. Xiao Chan initially said no, but then suddenly ran towards the restroom. Soon after, Gu Cheng heard Xiao Chan crying.

Without thinking, Gu Cheng rushed into the girls' restroom, and the scene before him horrified him. Xiao Chan was squatting, surrounded by blood-stained tissues, her pants also covered in blood, and she was constantly wiping herself, crying as she did so. Seeing Gu Cheng enter, she cried even louder, mumbling, "Brother, I'm going to die, I'm going to die..." Gu Cheng was stunned, his mind went blank for a moment. He later said that he was terrified at the time, and his immediate reaction was to grab Xiao Chan, pull up her pants, and carry her to the hospital. The school wasn't far from the hospital. As they rushed into the hospital, Gu Cheng shouted, "Save my sister! Save my sister!" He was very excited. Xiao Chan also said that she didn't understand anything at the time and was very scared, but when her brother was on her back, she wasn't afraid anymore. The hospital doctors took the siblings to the emergency room, and then Gu Cheng explained the whole situation.

The doctor called a nurse who took Xiao Chan into the inner room. Gu Cheng grabbed the doctor's hand, repeatedly asking, "What's wrong with my sister? Will she be alright? Will she die? You must save her!" He started crying as he spoke. The doctor said she was fine, and asked, "Where are your parents? Go back and call them." Gu Cheng froze, and that intense fear surged up again. He immediately knelt before the doctor, "I'm begging you, you must save my sister..." The doctor smiled and said, "Get up quickly, your sister will be alright. Go back and call the adults." Gu Cheng went to his aunt's workplace and called her. On the way, he told his aunt, "Chengcheng, don't be afraid. Your sister is growing up. Girls are all like this."

When they arrived at the hospital, Xiao Chan had already come out and stopped crying. Gu Cheng said he felt a sudden distance between himself and Xiao Chan, but it was only for a moment. The doctor and his aunt were talking in hushed tones. Gu Cheng seemed to hear the doctor sigh and say, "These two children are really pitiful. Girls at this age should be very cared for by their mothers."

On the way to his aunt's house, Gu Cheng kept asking Xiao Chan, "Does it still hurt? Is she still bleeding?" Xiao Chan didn't speak, only nodded. Her aunt said Xiao Chan would be fine, that all girls go through this. When Gu Cheng told me about it with a smile, I could still see the embarrassment.

After returning home, Gu Cheng seemed to understand something. He flipped through his health and hygiene book again and again, finally realizing that Xiao Chan had started her period. No wonder, she hadn't attended any classes since the book was handed out; who knew? One night, Gu Cheng had a strange dream. He dreamt of his mother. In the dream, his mother's appearance was blurry. In the dream, his mother held them both in her arms, telling them stories. Then, suddenly, he found himself standing on a cliff, with many people chasing him, and he could hear his father's voice. In the dream, his mother pulled them both and jumped off the cliff. Gu Cheng woke up with a start, covered in sweat.

Looking at the ceiling, Gu Cheng missed his mother. He didn't know his mother... Grandma said he was only a few months old at the time and hadn't been weaned yet. Gu Cheng thought of his father, of Xiao Chan's background as Grandma had described, of how he and his sister had relied on each other for the past few years since losing their father, and of Xiao Chan's recent actions. He knew his sister had grown up and was a young woman now. Thinking about all this, a sense of loss crept into his heart, and he fell asleep again.

Xiao Chan's changes were obvious. Gu Cheng said that during that time, his sister no longer clung to him like before; she would often just stare blankly to herself. Gu Cheng always wanted to talk to her, but he didn't know how. One night, while doing her homework, Xiao Chan suddenly cried, saying to Gu Cheng, "I miss Dad and Mom. At the parent-teacher conferences at school, they all had their parents come, but I didn't." Gu Cheng suddenly felt a pang of heartache...
During those days, her aunt made brown sugar water and pork liver and egg drop soup for Xiao Chan every day. Years later, Gu Cheng would always make this for Xiao Chan during her period. Xiao Chan said her brother was really clumsy, only knowing how to make these things and not knowing anything else, but her expression was sweet. I also know that Xiao Chan always drank it happily and felt very content.

Senior year of high school was very stressful, and Gu Cheng was also on the school's football team, training every afternoon, so he gradually had less time to spend with Xiao Chan. Xiao Chan had truly grown up. She knew her brother was focused on getting into university, so she rarely bothered Gu Cheng. Xiao Chan's school was a key county school, while Gu Cheng's school wasn't. Xiao Chan often asked older students at her school for their review materials for her brother. Gu Cheng's grades were also very good, and with his special admission through football, he had a good chance of getting into a top university.

And every weekend, they would... When we went to my aunt's house together, Gu Cheng would always take Xiao Chan to the county's night market in the evenings to eat snacks and buy her some jewelry she liked. On their wedding day, Xiao Chan wore the hair clip that Gu Cheng had given her for the first time. Gu Cheng had forgotten how much it cost or where he bought it, but Xiao Chan had treasured it like a precious gem for fourteen years. This touched us friends deeply.

From what the siblings told me, I could imagine Gu Cheng riding his bicycle with Xiao Chan through the streets and alleys of that small county town on weekends, their laughter echoing all the way. It is said that Gu Cheng even took Xiao Chan to see a 3D movie. They got glasses for everyone at the movie theater entrance, and the siblings were amazed, even though it cost two yuan.

Xiao Chan's friends were always very envious of her having such a brother. When they were together, Xiao Chan always looked very happy when talking about Gu Cheng. She had also been with her best friend from university. A good girl once said that although she didn't have parents, she had a brother, who was her pillar of support. Before she got married, her brother was her only family, her whole life.

That year during the Spring Festival, her aunt took them to the provincial railway bureau. Gu Cheng remembered meeting many people there, including a section chief named Li, who knew his father and had a good relationship with him. Li held Gu Cheng's hand and said, "Xiao Cheng, when you fill out your college application, you must put Shanghai Railway Institute (now Tongji University) as your safest choice. That way, you can directly enter the railway system after graduation. And since you are from a disadvantaged family, our railway bureau can provide you with a training program."

Although Gu Cheng had his own ideas and wanted to go to a top university, he still agreed. Seeing his aunt running around like she was begging him, Gu Cheng couldn't bear it. Xiao Chan was overjoyed because her aunt hoped they could both attend railway college and join the railway system, so she wouldn't be separated from her brother.

On the way back, her aunt told Gu Cheng, "You're an adult now. There are some things you should tell me. Your father worked hard for so many years and left a sum of money for you and your brother. Combined with the money from the house and the railway bureau subsidies, it's all with me. This is the money for your and Xiao Chan's university education. Once you get into university, you can manage this money." Gu Cheng listened silently, looking at his aunt's increasingly aged face, feeling the burden on his shoulders grow heavier.

Spring arrived in the blink of an eye, and the college entrance exam drew closer. Gu Cheng went to the county sports school to complete the special admission procedures and took the special admission exam. He then prepared to focus on his studies and prepare for the exam. Just when the whole family thought life would continue peacefully, something terrible happened to Gu Cheng...
One weekend, after the brother and sister went shopping, they returned to their aunt's house and prepared to do their homework. Xiao Chan gave Gu Cheng the review materials she had borrowed from an older student at her school, and then went to take a shower. When Gu Cheng picked up the materials, an envelope fell down. The envelope had a youthful and romantic feel to it. The front of the envelope read "Grade 1 (3), Gu Chan" and the back read "Private letter, do not open." It was still unopened. Gu Cheng was a little puzzled. Perhaps the words "Private, do not open" influenced his thoughts, and he secretly opened it.

It was a love letter from an older boy to Gu Chan. In that blossoming youth, he expressed his affection for her, writing that he wasn't afraid of rejection or competition, and that he would persevere. Gu Cheng felt inexplicably angry after reading it. After secretly dismantling the letter and putting it in Gu Chan's bag, he couldn't sleep that night.

Once, when my college buddies and I were drinking together after graduation, we talked about this. I said, "Brother, after you found out that Xiao Chan wasn't your biological sister, your feelings for her went beyond just brother and sister. It's just that at that time..." I was too young to understand, otherwise I wouldn't have been so upset about this, or even gone so far as to hit someone and get hit myself. Gu Cheng didn't say anything at first, but after drinking three cups, he looked at the sky and said, "Maybe." At that time, I felt really bad. I didn't want to tell Xiao Chan about her background, so I felt very stifled. But no matter what, we are siblings. I just hope that she can be carefree, happy, study hard, and do well in school. If Xiao Chan grows up and finds a boy who will treat her well for the rest of his life, then I, as her older brother, will be satisfied. That was my thought at that time.

That love letter had been swirling in Gu Cheng's mind for a long time. Finally, he couldn't hold back any longer. One evening after self-study, Gu Cheng went to Xiao Chan's school. The two siblings stood by the flower bed at the school gate. Xiao Chan didn't know what was going on. Gu Cheng imitated an adult and said, "Chanchan, you're still young. You can talk about feelings when you're older. You need to study now." Xiao Chan was stunned at first, but then she understood. She bit her lip and stared blankly at Gu Cheng for a long time. Then tears came out. She didn't cry loudly, but her eyes were full of resentment. Suddenly, she blurted out, "Why did you peek at my diary?!" and ran away.

Gu Cheng was stunned. She knew Xiao Chan had a habit of keeping a diary, but she had never read it, much less peeked at it. Xiao Chan later said that she was actually most innocent in front of her brother. In those days, diaries were filled with girlish sentiments and were considered private, something she didn't want anyone to see. Later, she learned that it was a misunderstanding. This wasn't the first time Xiao Chan had received a love letter. Her approach was simple: read it, throw it away, and pretend she knew nothing. That day, the boy had secretly slipped the love letter into her bag without her even realizing it. Xiao Chan's diary contained many entries about her brother, mentioning that her ideal prince charming should be like him, and even expressing her attachment to him in a daze. Xiao Chan thought her brother had read her diary and misunderstood.

For several days, Xiao Chan didn't speak a word to her brother. For the first time, she stayed at school on the weekend instead of going to her aunt's house. This made Gu Cheng feel very uncomfortable, followed by anger and impulsiveness. Before the misunderstanding was cleared up, Gu Cheng believed it was the boy's fault. So one night, Gu Cheng found the boy.

"I'm warning you, don't go looking for Gu Chan again, don't bother her, or I'll make you regret it!" Gu Cheng said menacingly as soon as they met.
"Who the hell are you? Trying to play games with me?" The kid, exuding thuggishness, retorted,
"Who the hell do you care who I am? If you go looking for Gu Chan again, I'll beat you up!" Gu Cheng, his blood boiling, retorted,
"You think you can mess with me? Don't let your size fool you, you're still green. Let me tell you, my cousin is..."
Before the kid could finish, Gu Cheng's fist was already on the ground, knocking him down in a few blows.
"If you're so capable, go after Gu Chan yourself. If not, come and hit me. I'm not done with you..." The kid ran away, wiping his nosebleed, leaving behind those words. Clearly, he mistook Gu Cheng for one of the other guys pursuing Gu Chan.

Gu Cheng thought the matter was over, but in reality, it had only just begun...
In the following days, Xiao Chan continued to ignore Gu Cheng. Knowing that her brother had gotten into a fight at their school, she became even angrier, a rare occurrence in Gu Cheng's memory. He seemed somewhat panicked. He went to the school several times to see Xiao Chan, but didn't find her. It was the weekend again, and Xiao Chan still hadn't gone home, only telling her aunt that she was studying at school for the upcoming high school entrance exam.

On Sunday night, Gu Cheng couldn't hold back any longer and went to Xiao Chan's school again. Before he even entered the school gate, several figures suddenly emerged from the darkness and blocked his way. There were about five or six people in front of him. Gu Cheng vaguely saw the kid he had beaten up last time inside. Gu Cheng only heard the kid say, "It's him," before he could react, sticks rained down on him.

Back in college, we brothers had fought a lot together. If Gu Cheng really angered me, he would fight very hard. And Gu Cheng was physically strong, so in my memory, he rarely lost a fight. But Gu Cheng told me that he lost that time. But then he laughed, "Actually, I didn't lose. I got beaten up, but the misunderstanding with Chan Chan was gone, which is good."

Five or six men surrounded Gu Cheng, wielding water pipes and steel bars wrapped in newspapers, relentlessly pounding him with their weapons, shouting, "Kill this bastard! Beat him to death!" Gu Cheng could only protect his head; his body was numb. In the chaos, he managed to hold off the smaller man, pushing him against the wall. Ignoring the blows from the others, he suddenly roared, kneeing the smaller man in the stomach, then grabbed his hair and slammed him against the wall... At that moment, Gu Cheng felt a thud on his head, his vision went black, he felt something sticky dripping down his head, and he collapsed...

At that time, Gu Chan was in evening self-study. Later, Xiao Chan said she felt uneasy that day. While eating dinner, she saw the boy who was pursuing her with several thugs. Then her classmate rushed into the classroom in a panic, shouting, "Gu Chan, your brother was beaten up at the door!" Later, Xiao Chan always wanted to cry when she talked about it, while Gu Cheng always laughed. Xiao Chan said that when she saw her brother lying on the ground, covered in blood, her first feeling was that the sky had fallen. Then she felt a huge pressure on her chest, making it hard to breathe. Then she fainted and didn't know anything else.

Her classmates came, her teachers came, her aunt came, and the police came too. Gu Cheng... When he woke up the next day, he felt completely paralyzed; every movement ached. Opening his eyes, he saw Xiao Chan, her eyes as big as peaches. Xiao Chan, seeing her brother awake, burst into tears again.

The police classified the incident as a serious gang fight and wanted to detain him. Later, he heard that the boy Gu Cheng had hit on the head with was a big boss of a company who paid to settle the matter. Gu Cheng's uncle also searched everywhere for connections. Later, it was said that Gu Cheng was still a student, so the matter was handled by the school. The school gave Gu Cheng a major demerit, and the matter gradually calmed down.

Gu Cheng said that his time in the hospital was happy; Xiao Chan talked to him again and came to visit him every day, though she often cried. Later, she even learned to... She cooked for him, saying the hospital food was terrible, so she made soup for him every day, and he gained several pounds. I had the pleasure of tasting her soup when I broke my leg playing soccer, and it was indeed delicious.

I think this incident had a huge impact on Xiaochan. She said that while in the hospital, the question she asked the doctors most often was whether her brother would be alright, whether there would be any aftereffects. When we ate together, she also said that it really scared her; she couldn't live without her brother. As it turned out, Xiaochan's worries were unnecessary. Gu Cheng recovered quickly, and on the day he was discharged, the two siblings went out for a nice meal. That day, there were still two months until the college entrance exam.
The next two months were uneventful, but also tense. It's said that the boy who pursued Gu Chan once approached Gu Cheng, saying he didn't know Gu Chan was his brother and wanted to apologize and treat him to a meal, which Gu Cheng politely declined.

Back then, the college entrance exam consisted of seven subjects, and the pressure was immense. Gu Cheng studied until 1 or 2 AM every night, while Xiao Chan stayed up too, fanning her brother to keep away mosquitoes. July 7th, 8th, and 9th were a time of anticipation and also a final push for everyone. When Gu Cheng filled out his college application, he didn't follow his aunt's wishes, but instead applied to a junior college affiliated with the Railway Institute. He liked both first-tier and second-tier universities; he figured if things didn't work out, the Railway Institute would be his goal, and two years of junior college would be enough to start working soon.

On the 9th, after the exam, Gu Cheng took Xiao Chan back to his hometown. Because of the college entrance exam preparation, they hadn't visited their father during the Qingming Festival. Xiao Chan said that Gu Cheng talked a lot to their father that day, saying he missed him, missed their mother, would treat Xiao Chan well, talked about his university dreams, and talked about Xiao Chan's future... Xiao Chan listened quietly. She had never expected her brother to have so much to say. Gu Cheng started crying as he spoke. Xiao Chan said it was only the second time she had seen her brother cry; the first time was at their father's funeral. Not knowing how to comfort him, Xiao Chan held his arm tightly, and they both wept.

At the end of July, Gu Cheng received his university acceptance letter. Through a special admission bonus, he had reached the cutoff score for a top-tier university. That night, his aunt cooked a huge feast, and Gu Cheng invited many classmates and teachers over. The county education bureau also sent a congratulatory letter, removing the major demerit from his file. Gu Cheng smiled happily that day. He hadn't let his father down. Years ago, despite his grandmother's objections and the family's financial situation, his father insisted on sending both children to school so they could go to university. Now, his father could finally rest easy. The thing Gu Cheng said to Xiao Chan most that day was, "You must also work hard and get into university the year after next."

Xiao Chan had said that from the day her brother received his acceptance letter, she had made up her mind... Determined to get into university, and specifically the same university her brother attended;

like other children, the siblings spent their days tidying up at home, always feeling like something was missing. Their uncle was delighted and took them to Hangzhou for the summer vacation. Xiao Chan drew a fortune stick for her brother at Lingyin Temple, which was said to be a very auspicious sign, indicating a life of wealth and prosperity. In fact, it was quite accurate. After graduating, Gu Cheng quickly rose to the upper echelons of society through his own efforts. Later, he went to Canada and partnered with friends to start a company, becoming very wealthy. At Lingyin Temple, Xiao Chan also blessed a sandalwood beaded necklace for her brother, which he always wore on his left wrist.

When Xiao Chan saw her brother off at the train station, she cried very hard. Gu Cheng kept comforting her, telling her to take care of herself, not to trouble her aunt, and to study hard. Even after the train started moving, Xiao Chan ran after it, crying as she ran, while her aunt and uncle held her back. Gu Cheng recalled that looking at Xiao Chan outside the train window that day, he suddenly felt a sense of parting. The siblings had been together for over ten years, and this was the first time they had been separated for such a long time. He also didn't know where Xiao Chan would go for her university entrance exams, and his heart ached. But he thought, "That's life," and could only wave goodbye, feeling people getting smaller and smaller, the platform getting farther and farther away, and his vision blurring...

Gu Cheng once said that his original plan was to have four uneventful years of university, return to his hometown to find a better job, support his younger sister's university, postgraduate, and doctoral studies, and then send her abroad. I asked him why he thought that way, and he said that if his sister was doing well, he was doing well, and he wanted to do his best to make her life better—it was that simple. When he said this, I looked into his eyes, which were very clear and resolute. I was speechless, raised my glass, and said, "Brother, cheers!"

In the summer of 1993, Gu Cheng and I entered university; he was in the Computer Science department, and I was in the Economics department. Actually, Gu Cheng was a very low-key person. He didn't register for the freshman cup competition; instead, a fellow townsman of his knew the sports minister of his department and recommended him. His department called him up for training, and after one training session, he won over his teammates. For the next four years, he was not only the captain of the Computer Science department but also the captain of the university team from his sophomore year.

Initially, my relationship with Gu Cheng wasn't very deep; we only interacted a lot during training. At that time, there was another player on the university team from Shandong who played as a defensive midfielder. I was very close to him. Once, when I was having dinner with him, the coach happened to be passing by after training the Computer Science department and sat down with Gu Cheng for drinks. The coach said that the three of us were among the most outstanding players in the history of the university team and hoped we could work together to improve the school's football level and achieve good results. It was after that that I had a deeper relationship with Gu Cheng

. We were all kids from out of town, and none of us had many friends in Shanghai, so the three of us quickly became best friends. Then one day, we got into a fight with some guys from Northeast China over a soccer field. That night, the guy we beat up called a bunch of Northeasterners to cause us trouble, but when they saw the instigator was our school team's star striker, whose nickname we called "Northeastern," the fight didn't happen. Instead, we all went out for drinks. Gu Cheng's alcohol tolerance was incredible; it was bottomless. He got Northeastern completely drunk, not even knowing how he got home. That day, the four of us drank a lot, and we even swore brotherhood. At the time, Gu Cheng was the leader, Liangzi (the guy from Shandong) was the second, I was the third, and Northeastern was the fourth. In the end, we were all pretty drunk, and only Gu Cheng was still somewhat sober. He took us all home one by one, and then went back to his dorm.

University life was pretty boring. Besides classes and soccer, we didn't have much to do. Unlike now, with the internet so advanced, back then computers were still mostly 286s. So learning to dance, playing cards, and dating became important parts of my leisure time. That year, the school team won the championship in the four-school freshman invitational tournament. Our coach got drunk and hugged Gu Cheng, talking to me a lot. The night I took the coach home, on the way back, Gu Cheng, still drunk, said a lot. Later I learned he was thinking about Xiao Chan. I

first saw Xiao Chan in a photograph. One day I went to Gu Cheng's dorm, and Xiao Chan had written him a letter. He looked at it and laughed. My second brother and I teased him, asking if it was from his wife back home. Gu Cheng said, "What wife? It's my sister!" He even showed us the photo Xiao Chan had sent that day. Xiao Chan looked very pretty in the photo, wearing a white dress, taken at the middle school gate. My second brother immediately joked, "I'm not your brother anymore, I'm your brother-in-law!" Gu Cheng laughed and kicked him out.

After we all knew Gu Cheng was an orphan, we often didn't mention it in front of him. But it was clear that Gu Cheng cared a lot about Xiao Chan. Every time he wrote to her, he would think for a long time before writing a single sentence. Back then, we'd joke that you had a sister complex, but nobody knew about Xiao Chan's background. We just thought that since they'd relied on each other for so many years, such a deep bond was only natural.

At that time, our relationship could only be described as close. We truly became brothers in the real sense when, near winter break, the four of us got into a huge fight with some local thugs outside the school. There were over a dozen of them, and both Lao Er and Dongbei got bruised. After the police arrived, we fled back to school. That night, afraid the police would find us, none of us dared go back to the dorm. In the dead of winter, we huddled in a corner behind the bleachers on the sports field, shivering. In the middle of the night, I secretly went to a small tavern near the front gate and bought a few bottles of Red Star Erguotou and some peanuts. The four of us sat on the ground and talked a lot. Gu Cheng told us a lot about himself and Xiao Chan, looked at the sky, said he really missed home, and then continued drinking. That night, Lao Er and Dongbei talked about their own experiences and both cried…

The matter was eventually dropped. Two days before winter break, Gu Cheng was very excited, telling us how wonderful his home was and asking if we wanted to go back with him. We said no, we were waiting to go home for the New Year, maybe next summer. We joked that we'd go back with him next summer to meet his beautiful little sister. Gu Cheng just chuckled and said that Xiao Chan would be overjoyed if she knew I'd brought back three brothers for her.

Winter break went by quickly, and before we knew it, school started again. I'd always thought that going back with Gu Cheng during the summer break of my freshman year would allow me to see Xiao Chan, but unexpectedly, Xiao Chan came first...
