During the National Day, classmates whom I had not seen for many years formed a team to travel to Beicheng and asked me to host them by name.
When they heard that I raised pigeons for a living, they burst into laughter:
"What's the use of having good grades back then? Aren't you still going to have to serve the beasts now?"
As a result, on the eve of the military parade, they secretly caught my pigeons and grilled them and drank them, and mocked:
"A waste bird raised by waste, only used to entertain our youth!"
The next day during the National Day ceremony, the sky was missing white doves.
When the staff came quickly, the old classmates were holding up their mobile phones excitedly:
"Comrade, do you want to interview us?"
I smiled slightly:
"I forgot to mention that what you are eating is not a meat pigeon, but the navigator of the National Day military parade pigeons."
