Chapter 221: Realizing the dream?

Li Xiangqian nodded, "Of course I remember. At that time, we built a big snowman together and put Zhang Qiang's hat on it."

Zhang Qiang smiled and shook his head, "Yeah, that was a really carefree time."

Xiaohong looked at everyone, her eyes full of memories and emotion, "No matter where we are, those memories will always be there."

Li Xiangqian took a deep breath, as if he wanted to engrave this moment in his heart. "Yes, this is our home, where we grew up. No matter how far we go, this place will always be in our hearts."

The starry sky was bright at night, and they made new wishes under the big tree. Li Xiangqian made a silent wish in his heart, hoping that in the future, everyone could realize their dreams and their friendship would last forever.

"Go forward, we'll meet again next year." Xiaohong said with a smile.

"Yes, I will." Li Xiangqian answered firmly.

The moment of separation always comes too quickly, but every reunion makes them cherish each other more. This friendship is not only their childhood memories, but also the motivation and support for their future. Li Xiangqian and his friends are full of expectations and hopes for the future, and continue to move forward bravely on their respective paths.

In the early 1960s, Li Xiangqian was just ten years old. At this age, he was already the leader of a group of children in the compound. They ran and played in the yard, playing war games, like real soldiers. Li Xiangqian was strong and agile, and always won the game. He was respected not only because of his father's prestige, but also because of his own personality and leadership.

There was a girl named Wang Xiaomei in the compound. She was two years younger than Li Xiangqian, smart, lively and lovely. Her father was also an officer and her mother was a nurse. Xiaomei had admired Li Xiangqian since she was a child. She always followed him and imitated his every move. Li Xiangqian also took good care of this little sister and often took care of her in games to prevent her from getting hurt.

Life in the compound is colorful. Children learn and play here, and gradually learn many truths. Li Xiangqian's father, Li Guoqiang, often tells the children revolutionary stories and teaches them what courage and responsibility are. Zhang Xiuying teaches the children cultural knowledge and cultivates their independent thinking ability in school. In such an environment, Li Xiangqian and his friends not only have physical fitness, but also have a rapid growth in mind.

However, China in the 60s was not peaceful, and the external political environment also affected life in the compound. Once, when Li Xiangqian and Wang Xiaomei were playing in the yard, they suddenly heard a heated argument outside. A group of people gathered at the gate of the compound, shouting slogans, and the atmosphere was very tense. Li Xiangqian took Wang Xiaomei's hand and took her to a safe place to hide. He knew that such a scene was too exciting and dangerous for Xiaomei.

As time went by, Li Xiangqian gradually understood the impact of changes in the outside world on their family. Li Guoqiang was transferred to the front line to perform tasks, leaving only his mother and him at home. Although his mother Zhang Xiuying was strong, she could not hide her worries about her husband and uncertainty about the future. At this time, Li Xiangqian showed maturity beyond his age. He not only took care of his mother, but also took on more family responsibilities.
