"Teacher Liu, your body..." Zhang Ye hurriedly supported Liu Ming. His thin body seemed to cough harder and it would fall apart.

"It's okay, it's just a cold. The water in the mountains is full of steam and it's cold at night, haha..." Teacher Liu said with a smile.

But Zhang Ye doesn't think so.

"Your breathing is abnormal, your vitality is weak... Are you having problems with your lungs?" Zhang Ye said.

As soon as he finished speaking, Teacher Liu waved his hand quickly, then looked around, confirming that the children were looking at the little wolf curiously in the distance, and then he felt a little relieved.

"Did you see it?" he asked.

Zhang Ye lied: "I can see the lesions in the human body."

Upon hearing this, Teacher Liu did not doubt it, and could not escape Zhang Ye's eyes. He smiled bitterly and said, "Lung cancer, advanced stage."

Zhang Ye was shocked, but Teacher Liu waved his hand: "Please don't say anything, they don't know yet."

"Speaking of this, I have been diagnosed with lung cancer for six years. The diagnosis after recovery may be because I inhaled too much abnormal substances when I fled in that era."

"At that time, there was no heterostatic agent, and I could only rely on hard resistance, which led to the root cause of the disease. Later, smoking and other things happened..."

"At that time, I felt that I had little time, so I quit my job as a teacher. I originally planned to live my life in a daze." He said with a smile, smiling very freely.

"Do you know, it's very interesting. That day, I drank to relieve my sorrows and sat by the river, thinking about whether to jump down directly, and when I was over, I saw an old god walking over in the water."

"Maybe because I am pitiful, he told me a fortune telling and said that I would meet a noble man in six years, but before that, I have to live, go out for more walks, do more good deeds, etc."

"I didn't believe in those, but then I thought about it, since I'm like this anyway, why not give it a try."

"So I put on my bag and embarked on a trip to Tibet. After all, many travelers yearn for that place. I want to go and see it. Even if it is useless, at least I can see some scenery that ordinary people cannot see, and I will never do this life.

It's worth it."

"And then, as I walked, I got here."

"I met a few children who had never read books, but I was very eager for my experiences and stories on the road, and I often told them stories."

"The villagers are very nice to me. Gradually, I integrated into this place and lived."

"Originally, I didn't think too much about it, but I was also affected by the children coming every day, so I simply picked up my old career and became a teacher, and called it a mountain village teaching."

"Actually, I don't have a teaching certificate, but it's not bad either, so no one cares about it here."

"I just thought that before I die, I could be respected or something."

"So, I've been here for six years."

"I don't know if the air here is good or why. The doctor told me that I only had more than half a year to live, but I didn't expect that I would live for six years."

"In these six years, I'm no longer obsessed with how long I can live, those children..."

"I'm satisfied to see them walk out of the mountains."

"Speaking of this, I have to thank the old god for helping me find some meaning."

"At least, I'm not that afraid of death."

He just said quietly, as if telling a trivial thing.

Then he looked at Zhang Ye and smiled and said, "Can you keep it a secret for me? I don't want them to worry."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Ye felt unspeakable.

He nodded: "Okay."

"Thanks."

Zhang Ye shook his head and suddenly asked: "You just said that you have found some meaning, so what do you think is the meaning of living?"

This is a very profound question, and many people will have this kind of question.

Zhang Ye suddenly became curious about what this gentleman who seemed to have seen through life and death.

"Meaning?" Teacher Liu was silent for a moment and said, "I have studied philosophy before, and the philosophy teacher also asked us this question at that time."

"Some people say that living is meaning, while others say that people are self-centered and clear-minded is the meaning of living."

"Some people also say that dreams are meaning."

“I had no answer at that time.”

"Now I might be able to say something."

He stretched out his hand, looked at his fingers with distinct joints, and said, "Look--I looked at my hands, looked at the texture on my fingers, and felt the touch of friction between my fingers."

“Very real.”

"You imagine, you look at the screen of your phone, look at the hands holding your phone, look up at the lights, then look left and right where you are, and look at everything that really exists around you."

"The sense of reality hits my face."

"And when you think about it, when you leave the world, all this will disappear."

"The fear comes."

"Sometimes I think that when people die, all these truths disappear."

"Everything you touch, everything you perceive, the smile you see when you see a funny video, the tears you see when you see the tragedy, all disappear."

"No trace, no more truth."

"I just thought, what is the meaning of finding meaning? It is obvious that the truth and reality for you will collapse at the moment of death. So what is the meaning itself?"

"This is the great fear of death."

"This kind of great fear can make you restless when you think of it, and can make you suddenly stop smiling even if you laugh happily just now."

"That's what it felt when I diagnosed with lung cancer."

"Fear, panic, and feel that everything is meaningless..."

"Until I came here and taught those children something, and when I saw them they would read aloud in my tone, I suddenly felt..."

"This great fear has been weakened a lot."

"So I wasn't so scared when I remembered death again."

"And as I do more and more, this fear becomes less and less."

"At that time, I suddenly understood why those old people could walk so peacefully."

"So I think the meaning of living is what you are going to do."

"When you die, meaning has no meaning."

"When you are alive, finding meaning is meaning itself."

"What do people have to do in the world, for themselves, for their families, for their country, and for their inheritance."

"Is there nothing worth it, because when I die, nothing is gone. Isn't people living in this world just for a [I think]."

“So, I think that’s the point.”

"The meaning of my life is to let these children go out of the mountains."

"I think the meaning of living is that people have to do something that can make [I think] meaningful."

"Meaning itself is given by people. [I think] means meaning, that means meaning."

"Save the world is meaning, and letting a little bee fly out of the mountains is also meaning."

As he said that, he looked at Zhang Ye and smiled slightly.

"As long as you think of death when you are doing something, and the fear of death is not strong or even insensitive, then perhaps what you are doing is the meaning you are looking for."

Looking at the gentleman in front of him, Zhang Ye felt that he benefited a lot.

Meng Feifan and the soldiers taught him that some things must be done.

And the gentleman in front of him taught him what people have to do when they are alive.

Zhang Ye took a deep breath.

"Been taught a lesson."
