Features: The story takes place in a southern city in the early 1960s. At that time, people had just experienced the three years of natural disasters, and everything was in need of revival. The development of national defense science and technology was naturally the guarantee for building a strong nation. At that time, a research institute in Guangdong Province was intensifying the research of a national defense project and was about to hold the final pre-implementation argumentation meeting. Experts and professors from relevant departments would be invited, and the latest scientific and technological achievements would be introduced to the project.
By the intercom phone at the alley entrance, a man in a dark gray Zhongshan suit and a light gray cloth hat sat with his back to the camera. "Hello, what's up?" he picked up the phone and said just that, then turned to the shop owner and said, "Go about your business. I'll leave the money on the table." Seeing no one around, he asked, "Hey, make it clear, okay? Hmm, hmm." "On the 26th morning, train No. 13 will arrive. People from the research institute," the other party on the phone spoke for a while. "Alright, I got it." He hung up, took a coin from his pocket, placed it on the counter, and walked into the deeper part of the alley.
In May, the city of Guangzhou was windy and sunny with pleasant weather. Around nine in the morning that day, train No. 13, traveling south from Beijing, roared into the bright spring city in the south. On the train, a tall middle-aged man with a broad forehead and a lean face, dressed in a plain blue Zhongshan suit and wearing glasses, quietly gazed out the window. His neatly dressed, polite, and orderly demeanor showed the distinctive traits of a senior intellectual. He was originally a researcher at the research institute and was named Li Hua. Two years ago, he went to Beijing for further studies and later stayed to work at a national defense department in Beijing. Recently, he was on a field inspection and rushed to attend this argumentation meeting.
After the train stopped, from the window, he saw many familiar faces at the station to greet him and stood up happily. He glanced at a small leather suitcase and a black bag on his seat, picked up the two bags, and stepped out of the door. At the platform, Director Zhang rushed forward and warmly shook hands with Li Hua. Then, Director Zhang introduced him to each person: "This is the former director," "This is Director Deng," "Professor Qian," "Old Chen," and so on. Everyone extended their hands to greet Li Hua warmly, exchanging friendly words. Suddenly, a clear voice called out, "Old Li! Old Li—!" Old Lu from the research institute, holding his young son, ran over. Li Hua stepped forward and shook hands tightly with Old Lu: "Sister Lu! Oh, I hardly recognize you! It's been so long, you've changed so much!"
Old Lu was a middle-aged woman in her forties, plump, and cheerful. She had worked with Li Hua for many years in the past and had even been neighbors. Meeting again, she was particularly happy. In front of many leaders and colleagues, Old Lu said playfully, "Of course, you don't recognize me! You're an expert now, aren't you?" The group burst into laughter.
Li Hua looked at Old Lu and shifted the topic: "You've put on some weight now!" Old Lu said, "Ah, it's just water weight. Hypertension's been bothering me. I've been taking Chinese medicine and drinking bitter water all day!" Li Hua bent down and patted her
