Fast Travel Absurdity Sutra

On October 21, 1979, the government announced the resumption of the Gaokao (National College Entrance Examination). Middle school and high school graduates nationwide eagerly registered to take the exam.

As the morning light broke, the first ray of sunlight passed through the thin curtains and gently fell on Lantian's room, as if covering every object in the room with a layer of golden gauze.

Lantian slowly woke up from his sleep, raised his hand to rub his sleepy eyes, and his eyes fell on the desk piled with books. His originally tired eyes instantly became firm and fiery.

A new day dawned, another day of all-out pursuit of her dreams. Having never taken the Gaokao (National College Entrance Examination) before, this was a novel experience for Lantian. She was focused on studying, intent on the exam that would change her life.

In the warm little home, Zhou Guoming and Wan Wan had already gotten up and were busy in the kitchen preparing breakfast.

The kitchen was filled with the aroma of food, and the warm smell of stovetops lingered in every corner.

They have happy smiles on their faces. Now their daughter is by their side. After years of baptism, Lantian has shed his former innocence and ignorance, and has become mature, steady and intelligent instead.

Both husband and wife feel that this is the most precious gift God has given them. They carefully cherish this hard-earned peace and happiness, and every moment they spend together seems extremely precious.

"Tiantian, get up and have breakfast."

Wan Wan's voice came from the kitchen, as gentle as the spring breeze, full of a mother's love for her daughter.

"I know, Mom. I'll be right there."

Lantian responded crisply, quickly stood up and walked into the bathroom.

A moment later, she came to the dining table and the family sat together, eating a simple but loving breakfast.

"Tiantian, how's your review going? If you need anything, don't hide it from your parents."

While eating, Zhou Guoming looked at Lantian with concern, his eyes full of fatherly love and worry.

"But you don't have to be too nervous. You have a good job now, and it's a permanent one. Even if you don't pass the exam, Dad thinks your life is actually pretty good now."

Thinking that his daughter might be under pressure, Zhou Guoming began to comfort Lantian, fearing that Lantian was under too much pressure.

"Dad, don't worry, I'm ready. Thanks to you for your continued support over the years, I will definitely not let you down this time."

Lantian answered with a smile, his eyes shining with confidence, that light was like the brightest star in the night sky, brilliant and firm.

Wan Wan gently patted Lan Tian's hand, her tone gentle but firm:

"Tiantian, no matter how you do in the exam, you are our pride. As long as you try your best, you will have no regrets."

Her hand gently held Lantian's hand, conveying endless warmth and strength.

After breakfast, Lantian returned to his room, sat down at his desk, and started his day of review.

The college entrance examination is coming soon, so she asked for a few days off from work to prepare for the final sprint.

Her desk is piled with various textbooks, densely packed notes and thick exercise books. Each book is filled with her thoughts and insights. Those annotations and experiences are the testimony of her efforts and the footprints of her pursuit of dreams.

She opened the math textbook and began to read attentively, writing down key points on the paper from time to time with the pen in her hand. The rustling sound of her writing echoed in the quiet room, like a piece of music played for her dreams.

Soon, she encountered a question she didn't understand. She stopped, frowned slightly, and fell into deep thought. She then consulted various materials until she fully understood it, leaving no blind spots in her knowledge.

Over the years, Lantian has never given up her desire and pursuit of knowledge. She has always had a dream in her heart - to apply for the mechanical major.

Her interest in the field of mechanics is as strong as a burning flame, and she is eager to delve deeper into this field, contribute to the country's construction and make her own contribution.

Lantian paused, lost in her memories. It had been almost two years since she returned to the capital. Time had flown by like a fleeting horse, and in the blink of an eye, it was already the first half of the year 1979.

An exciting piece of good news came. After going through many twists and turns, Ma Pingyuan, Yin Hong and Li Haixin were finally rehabilitated and returned to the capital.

With the return of people like them, new vitality has been injected into the city, making the entire capital more lively and joyful, and the streets and alleys are filled with a cheerful atmosphere.

Ma Pingyuan came to Peking University as soon as possible. He was always concerned about Lantian who worked in the Peking University Library.

When he walked into the library, he saw the familiar figure busy sorting books. He felt an indescribable excitement in his heart and his eyes became slightly moist.

If he hadn't met Zhou Tian when he was sent down to the countryside for reform, he wouldn't have known whether he would be able to return to Peking University one day.

According to the arrangements made by the enemy spies in the village at the time, even if he didn't die, he would probably be taken to the island country by these people. Once there, he probably wouldn't have the chance to return in his lifetime.

Zhou Tian is really a blessing that he has accumulated in several lifetimes to meet a benefactor like her.

Therefore, the first thing he did when he returned to Kyoto University was to visit Zhou Tian.

Over the past two years, he and Zhou Tian had kept in touch. Zhou Tian wrote to him, telling him about her work at the Peking University Library. That's why he decided to return to Peking University.

"Zhou Tian!"

When Ma Pingyuan saw Zhou Tian from afar, he shouted happily, with a bright smile on his face. That smile was like a flower blooming in spring, warm and bright.

Lantian heard the voice, raised his head, and when he saw Ma Pingyuan, a glint of surprise flashed in his eyes: "Mr. Ma, it's really you! You're finally back!"

She hurried over and excitedly greeted Mr. Ma. She looked at him. Although his face was dark, he did not look sick at all.

This time, Lantian hurried forward, gently supported Ma Pingyuan, and helped him up the stairs.

Then they found a quiet corner, sat down and started chatting.

Ma Pingyuan looked at Lantian with a lot of emotion:

"Zhou Tian, ​​you've changed a lot over the years. You've become more mature and stable."

His eyes were full of relief and appreciation.

"Mr. Ma, it's great that you are all back. I have said long ago that you are all treasures of the country and the country will not treat you unfairly. By the way, what do you plan to do after you come back?"

Lantian asked, his eyes full of curiosity and concern.

"As for me, I'll return to Beijing University to continue teaching. Professor Yin and Professor Li both have their own plans. Zhou Tian, ​​I heard you've been studying for the college entrance exam. I'm so happy for you."

Ma Pingyuan said with a smile, the smile on his face was like the warm sunshine, illuminating Lantian's heart.

"If you ask me, you have a talent for mechanics. Why don't you apply for my major? What do you think?"

Ma Pingyuan glanced at Lantian and carefully told him the purpose of his visit today.

He just hoped that he could teach Zhou Tian himself. This girl has a pure character and is a talent that can be cultivated.

Ma Pingyuan felt very sad when he thought about how many disciples he had accepted before and how no one would be able to help him if something happened to him.

"Well, I want to apply for the mechanical major. I am particularly interested in this major."

There was a gleam in Lantian's eyes, and that gleam was a vision and expectation for the future. In her eyes, she already saw herself making great achievements in the field of mechanics.

After hearing this, Ma Pingyuan's eyes were full of admiration:

"Mechanical engineering is a great major. With your intelligence and hard work, you'll definitely make a difference in this field in the future. You must work hard and strive to get into your ideal university. Right now, the entire country is in a state of disrepair. Mechanical engineering will definitely be useful in the future."

His words were full of encouragement and trust, which was like a shot of adrenaline for Lantian, making her more determined in her belief.

In the following days, Ma Pingyuan often came to the library to visit Lantian.

He always brings some learning materials and unique suggestions.

Sometimes, Lantian was happy to ask Professor Ma about mechanical engineering. She had already read numerous books on the subject. They discussed mechanical engineering together, with Ma Pingyuan sharing his experiences and insights. Each exchange was a valuable learning experience for Lantian. Her enthusiasm for learning grew, and her understanding of mechanical engineering deepened.

Ma Pingyuan was even more satisfied with Lantian's performance. He felt that he had been blind all his life. In his old age, he finally had the ability to discern people.

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye it is winter of the following year. It is a cold yet hopeful season, the air is filled with a chilling atmosphere, yet it also breeds infinite possibilities.

Lantian, together with more than 500,000 candidates across the country, ushered in a crucial moment in their lives - the college entrance examination.

On the day of the exam, snowflakes were floating in the sky, and the entire capital was gently painted by nature with a white brush, turning it into a dream world covered in silver.

Lantian got up early, put on a thick cotton coat, and walked into the examination room with full confidence and expectation, with firm steps.

Zhou's father and mother were even more nervous than Lantian.

Wan Wan woke up early in the morning and prepared breakfast for her daughter. After Lan Tian got up and finished breakfast, the couple insisted on sending their daughter to the exam room. Seeing her daughter waved to them with ease and turned to enter the exam room, Wan Wan couldn't help but wipe away tears.

In the examination room, Lantian answered the questions with full concentration, the pen in her hand dancing rapidly on the test paper. Every stroke was writing her own future, and every answer carried her years of hard work and dreams.

After several days of intense exams, Lantian finally finished all the subjects.

The moment she finally walked out of the examination room, she took a deep breath, feeling relieved but also a little uneasy.

She knew that the original owner's fate was about to be rewritten, the future was full of infinite possibilities, and a door to a new world was about to open.

While waiting for the results, Lantian felt very complicated.

She continued to study, not daring to slack off at all, and silently prayed that she could be admitted to her ideal university.

Zhou Guoming and Wan Wan have always been by her side, giving her comfort and encouragement. Their company is like the warm sun in winter, warming Lantian's heart.

Finally, the day of the results announcement arrived. Lantian came to school nervously to check the results.

When she saw that her score exceeded the admission score for the mechanical engineering major at Peking University, the joy in her heart surged like a surging tide. She was so excited that tears filled her eyes and rolled down her cheeks. They were tears of joy and tears of reward for her years of hard work.

"I passed! I passed!"

Lantian ran home excitedly, his steps so light as if he was flying, to tell his parents the good news.

When Zhou Guoming and Wan Wan heard the news, they hugged each other tightly with excitement. Tears were in their eyes. They were tears of pride for their daughter and tears of happiness.

At the same time, Ma Pingyuan also learned that Zhou Tian was admitted to the mechanical engineering major of Peking University.

He was ecstatic and immediately found Lantian and said to her:

"Lantian, congratulations on being admitted to the Mechanical Engineering Department of Beijing University! From today on, you are my student, and I will accept you as my last disciple."

His face was filled with a proud smile, and Lantian's achievements were his own glory.

After hearing this, Lantian was both moved and surprised: "Mr. Ma, is this true? I am so honored to be your student!"

There was excitement in her eyes and she was full of anticipation for her future study life.

However, Fu Ming felt very sorry when he learned the news.

He has always admired Lantian's talent and hard work, and hopes to accept her as his student.

He found Lantian and said with a hint of regret: "Lantian, I also want to accept you as my student, but it's a pity that you chose the mechanical major."

There was a hint of loss in his eyes, but more of a blessing for Lantian.

Lan Tian looked at Fu Ming and smiled slightly: "Professor Fu, I can actually study both majors at the same time. I am also very interested in your major and don't want to miss the opportunity to learn from you."

Her smile was full of confidence and determination, showing courage and determination beyond ordinary people.

After hearing this, Fu Ming's eyes suddenly lit up:

"Really? Lantian, you really surprised me! If you're willing, I welcome you to study two majors at the same time. However, if you do that, you'll have to put in a lot more effort than others, right? Can you do it?"

His eyes were full of admiration and expectation, and he had already seen a better Lantian shining in two professional fields.

In this way, Lantian started her study career at the University of Tokyo.

While studying hard in the mechanical major, she followed Ma Pingyuan to conduct in-depth research on mechanical principles and technologies, exploring the mysteries of the mechanical world; at the same time, under the guidance of Fu Ming, she explored knowledge in another professional field and broadened her horizons.

On the campus of Kyoto University, one can often see her busy and fulfilled figure. She is like an industrious bee, diligently picking berries from the flowers of knowledge.

She swam freely in the ocean of knowledge, pursued her dreams, and laid a solid foundation for her future life.

Zhou Guoming and Wan Wan have always been silently supporting Lantian behind the scenes.

They are filled with satisfaction and joy as they watch their daughter thrive in college.

They know that Lantian's future is full of infinite possibilities, and they will always be with her, witnessing her every glorious moment and cheering for her every progress.

Over time, Lantian has achieved outstanding academic results. Not only has she achieved fruitful results in the field of mechanics, publishing numerous influential academic papers and participating in important scientific research projects, but she has also conducted in-depth research and gained unique insights in the field of nanomaterials, demonstrating her outstanding academic qualities.
