Chapter 33 part 2 Dolls(2)
The host tried to dig Gao Yusheng’s purpose of persistently looking for his brother: “Without him, you would probably still be in the village now and forgot your own home.”
Mr. Gao, the person who asked for help, was handsome and decent, his mere presence could tell others that he’s an upper-class, people. If there was no his brother, he definitely couldn’t be like this now. He would probably in that small village, working in the field, wasting his life in ignorance and hopelessness.
“Do you want to find him to thank him in person?”
There should be no wrong answers for this question, the host thought. She was sure that she could make the audience cry this time. The truest and beautiful thing in the world is gratitude. A “thank you” after all this time worth more than ten thousand words.
Gao Yusheng looked down, went silent for a long time, slowly shook his head: “I want to find him and ask him why he left me.”
Completely unreasonable. The host and the audience were surprised. Zhai Chen, squatting in the corner, frowned.
The background music changed suddenly and finally, it’s time to see whether they had found Gao’s brother. The host raised her hand and asked Gao Yusheng to come forward and open the door: “If he’s found, he’ll be on the other side of the door.”
Gao Yusheng stood up and buttoned his suit slowly. On the big screen, the mountain scenery was put on loop. Those days of suffering and happiness were long gone, but the memory of his childhood was as fresh as yesterday.
With his steps, the camera zoomed in a little bit. The door was just a dozen meters away but it seemed as if it had been a century for Gao to get there. When it came to this moment, the mind made up was suddenly uncertain again.
What if the man on the other side is not Zhai Chen?
What if his brother doesn’t want to meet him?
What if for brother, he was just a friend knew in childhood and not special?
The door opened slowly, and spotlights came through the crack of the door, which made people unable to see clearly. All the people were holding their breath and looked forward to the kind, brave and ill-fated brother Xingxing.
When the door opened all the way, the smoke under the spotlight dispersed and there was no one there. The audience couldn’t help hissing with disappointment, and Gao Yusheng, who was standing on the stage, was also a little confused.
“I’m sorry we didn’t find it.” said the field-host on the big screen, “But we found some clues. Since they are not blood relatives, we can’t find relevant information from the lost children’s database. We can only turn to the police.”
According to the records of the Central District Public Security Bureau at that time, Gao’s family reported the case and sent the two children back to the city soon after they asked the police for help. Gao Yusheng was taken home by his mother, and brother Xingxing went to the central orphanage.
“The name that the little brother registered in the data was ‘Xingxing’. There was no surname, and the age was also inaccurate.” The field-host showed the files to the camera.
[Xingxing, male, age 12-13, parents unknown, birthplace unknown]
Brother Xingxing wasn’t related to any case of lost children, no parents can be found and couldn’t be filed as an orphan. He was just temporarily living in a welfare home.
“He is not an orphan and cannot be adopted. At that time, he was fostered by a lady surnamed Ye. But she was soon retired and he was returned to the welfare home. Later, he was taken away by the police, saying that his parents had been found, and no records after then.” Those were all the clues they found. It all stopped at the moment when the police took him.
Ms. Ye is Gao Yusheng’s mother, Ye Rong.
As the screen darkened, Gao Yusheng stood on the stage for a long time.
The host came to him and comforted him: “Don’t be frustrated, at least you know now that your brother has his own parents, and he should have a good life now. This program will be seen by people all over the country. Maybe your brother will see it, too. Do you have anything to say to him?”
Gao Yusheng didn’t seem to hear it. He looked for Zhai Chen under the stage. After a long time of work in vain, he looked up to the camera.
“I started a company and made an online map app, which I used to hope to find you with.”
He didn’t say the name, but everyone knew it.
“Our map has opened the search mode. Whoever loses something can post a notice in real-time, and the people around can help to find it. If anyone has their children lost, it can also help…” Surprisingly, the show became an advertisement.
The host tried to interrupt, but the director stopped. That was a new public welfare project of the punctuation map. Thanks to the technical support of “finding places”, everyone can post for help free of charge.
When the recording was over, Gao Yusheng took off his suit, put it on his arm and walked slowly out of the studio.
“You advertised on the family finding the show.” Zhai Chen came out of nowhere, smiled and shouldered him. No wonder why this guy goes on the family finding program when recognized him. It was a commercial project.
Gao Yusheng didn’t respond. He walked out, eyes looked down, didn’t want to talk to Zhai. He had said everything in the program, and Zhai still acting indifferently. “Is it true that the whole thing’s not special to him?” Gao thought. “ Am I the only one who thinks about it for 15 years?”
Zhai Chen sensed Gao’s depression, He was surprised: “You are an adult now. What do you want him for?”
Gao Yusheng stopped and took a breath slowly: “Just think of me as a man craving for love. Sorry for all these troubles.”
Zhai Chen was absent-minded for a second, and reached for the one who wanted to turn around and go: “Tian Ci”
