枯葉餘輝

I walked over the edge of the razor three times

The so-called "life and death", some people's lives seem to be very fragile. For example, when Hong Kong singer Wong Ka Kui attended a TV event in Japan, he accidentally fell off the stage and ended his life. Last month, someone in Hong Kong climbed from the seventh floor. He slipped out of the window and bumped into layers of cool clothes racks in the process of falling. When he reached the ground, he was only slightly injured. He patted his butt and stood up. Some people say: "If you don't die in a big disaster, you will have a future blessing." I'm not sure how true this sentence is, but I have experienced three great disasters.

The first disaster happened in the second grade of middle school. During the summer vacation of that year, I was idle at home and had nothing to do. I was excited to follow a man named "Brother Quan" to work as a short-term "primary apprentice" in Zhaizelou. I remember that this small company is called "Feijiaping Huazelou". It was opened by a Portuguese female teacher in Baimahang, Macau. One day Brother Quan took me to the construction site to measure and verify the plot. The construction site has already started. The high-rise residential building has five floors. When I arrived at the construction site, I helped me with a copper tape measure. Because it is a construction site, the light is not enough, and cement, sand, steel bars and building materials are piled up everywhere. After measuring the position of the corner with a tape measure, I walked forward to a brighter place to write down the data, I heard a sudden sound from behind. It was a steel bar as thick as sugar cane about two meters long fell from a height and just stuck in me. There were shoe prints left before, and one-third of the steel bar was submerged in the soil, which shows how strong its momentum was. Only then did the workers on the fifth floor shout out: "Park Street, Cheng Lu is flying. Fall off!” In retrospect, if I had inserted that steel bar that day, I believed that the whole steel bar would have been inserted into a certain part of my body, and I would have fallen unconscious, and then my body was connected to the steel bar and waited for the ambulance to arrive, and finally I was carried into surgery. Room...life or death unknown.

The second major disaster was in the third year of the university. The school had a "work-study student" system, which gave students the opportunity to earn a little money. I applied to water the flowers for Professor Yang from the Department of History. Watering, because he often travels to Taipei to give lectures, so he cannot water every day. In order to make it easier for working students to water the flowers, he deliberately set aside half of the garage next to the house and converted it into a small suite, with rent-free instead of wages. I live in. Professor Yang's house is located in the fields, surrounded by trees and inaccessible. One day, it was the typhoon season, and it was raining heavily all day long. I dared to go out and hid in a small room to read a book. The book I was holding was just changing pages, and suddenly it dazzled and flashed, and a big tree outside the window seemed to It was like hitting a Boeing plane, the branches on the trunk fell down with a sound, and then there was thunder, and this thunder broke out outside my small door. Because the house is too small, this thunder hit me at all. Next to it, there is only a thin wooden door. I think if this lightning strikes my room and the house does not have a lightning rod device, my fate will be as uncertain as the big tree outside the window.

The third catastrophe was one day 20 years ago. At that time, I was driving a small car in a street and was passing through an intersection. There was no traffic light, and I did not slow down. The car drove to the intersection. At the intersection, in front of my windshield, an object suddenly passed me from the right to the left, and that moment was only a thousandth of a second. It happened so fast that I didn't have time to react. When God turned around to see what it was, the car had moved more than 20 meters, and found that the object turned out to be a motorcycle (locomotive), which was about 30 meters away from the left rear of my car, and a man and a woman were riding on the car. , the female is the passenger in the rear, and she is looking back at me.

This thousandth of a second has a great impact on my life, because according to the laws of Macau, if a driver causes injury to others, he will be held criminally responsible. What's more, if an accident causes serious injury to others, the driver will be punished. A charge of "manslaughter" increases the maximum sentence to five years in prison. If my car collided with that motorcycle, at the speed of the two cars at that time, I believe that the two of them must die in a near-nine life, killing two people, plus the lawsuit, my life will not be easy, and I also May run out of control and crash into the building on the side of the road, life or death is uncertain!
