When he first arrived in Tangier, he was robbed of his money by thieves. In desperation, he worked for a crystal merchant for eleven months and nine days, earning enough money to pay for his trip home and buy sheep. Yet faith told him that he should cross the Sahara Desert to Egypt.
During the journey, he passed through a desert oasis, fell in love at first sight with Fatima, a girl who drew water, and met an alchemist. Due to Santiago's magical prediction ability, the alchemist decided to help him embark on the treasure hunt again.
On the way, they were kidnapped by the army. The alchemist used the power of God to escape the army's killing, and used the boy's money to buy the boy three days to live. In the dialogue with the desert, wind and sun, the young man came into contact with the heart of heaven and earth, and escaped as he wished.
The young man arrived in Egypt and saw the magnificence of the pyramids, but his gold was once again taken away by refugees from a tribal war. However, it was from the mouths of these refugees that they suddenly learned that the treasure was hidden in the abandoned church where the boy had once dreamed. So he went there day and night and finally found the treasure under the leadership of faith.
After fulfilling his destiny, Santiago returned to the desert oasis and married Fatima. From then on, the prince and princess lived happily together.

My story
I was born in a small village in Guilin, Guangxi, 60 kilometers away from Guilin city. He is the youngest among the dozen or so grandchildren of his grandparents. So when I was in elementary school, my cousins at home were already in college.
My elder brothers and sisters love my younger sister. Every winter and summer vacation, they always bring me some novel gifts when they come back from school. The most common ones they bring are books and stationery. Storybooks are my favorite. Through these books, I can see the colorful world outside.
I was most curious about the stories that happened in big cities like Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou. I thought, how great it would be if I could live in such a big city!
After graduating from primary school, the county key middle school recruits 100 students every year throughout the county. In the first round of preliminaries, the top 20 students in the township are selected to take the county unified examination, and then these 200 students compete for the 100 key middle school places.
With mediocre grades, I failed in the first round of the provincial examination.
Coincidentally, at that time, a relative in my family happened to be responsible for the education work in the village, and he often made fun of me. Seeing that I didn't qualify for the preliminaries, I couldn't help but laugh: "You, even if you pass the exam this time, you won't be able to pass the exam like those kids in the county."
Being stimulated by others, my ambition increased, "Huh, if you have the ability, you should let me take the test in the county."
Thinking about it, my relatives actually went to the county to get a place and came back.
When I was taking a bus to the county town for my exam, I didn’t forget to make a joke: “Little girl, it’s rare to go to the county town, so I’ll give you a free trip this time, have fun.”
I still remember that the night before the exam was extremely hot and humid, and a heavy rain threatened to stop it. The teacher took more than 20 of us children to live in a crowded guest house, and it was extremely hot at night (there was no air conditioning at that time).
There is a river in front of the guest house, so the teacher took us to the river to enjoy the cool air. Those students with good grades were agitated by the weather. For me, a person who enjoys free travel, enjoying the cool air by the river is one of the tourist items, and I am very happy.
At the end of the exam the next day, the teacher asked anxiously how everyone did in the exam. Those students with good grades all shook their heads, "The questions are too difficult!", which I never thought about. Exams are an easy task, and I didn’t feel anything special this time. It's a pity that time flies by so fast and I will go home soon.
One evening at the end of July, I was pulling weeds in the field when I heard my cousin shouting excitedly from the hilltop opposite: "Fortunately, you have been admitted to the county's key middle school." This made my life miserable.
When I was admitted to junior high school and high school, my parents hoped that I could study in a technical secondary school to make money as soon as possible and lighten the burden on my parents, but I was not admitted because of the one-time difference.
At that time, my father took me to school and asked me to repeat my studies (I was unwilling to do so), but the principal said, "How can such a good kid not go to high school and take the college entrance examination? What's so good about secondary school?" , so he was pushed into the high school gate by the principal.
Han Chuang studied hard for twelve years, took the college entrance examination, performed abnormally, and was admitted to three colleges in the province.
I thought I would live and die in Guangxi all my life. Unexpectedly, after working for three years, my boyfriend (now my lover) who graduated from graduate school decided to come to Shanghai to work. At that time, he persuaded him to go to Shenzhen. It was close to home and it would be easier for me to adapt to local life. But they agreed verbally, but the final agreement was signed in Shanghai.
So, I left my hometown with my childhood dream and came to Shanghai for love.
Therefore, you still have to have dreams, just in case they come true!
When we really want to do something, learn to listen to the voice of the heart and follow your inner thoughts. Step by step, there will always be some noble people waiting to help you get where you want to go. place.
Thank you to everyone who has helped me along the way! ! !
