In Haruki Murakami's Adventures in Finding Sheep, there is a little girl who says
"Live to be 26 and die."
Today is probably the worst Mid-Autumn Festival
The planned day was all disrupted by the sudden outbreak, there was no way to swim, there was no way to go to the gym, and even the annual family dinner was forced to be canceled
In fact, at the beginning of the epidemic, I was the same psychology as everyone else, and I felt that this kind of thing was the same as SARS, and it might disappear after a while, but it was obvious that after a year and a half, we didn't want to accept it, but we knew that what we knew was the normalization of the future epidemic
That means we're going to be wearing masks all day long, it means less indoor physical activity, and the closure of entertainment venues means we're having a tough time getting together with people we want to meet
When the epidemic was at its worst last year, Grandpa's body began to become unwell
But because of the fear that the hospital is not safe, because of the epidemic, he stayed at home and did not go to the hospital
And then Grandpa passed away a month before I took the college entrance exam
I believe that if there is no epidemic, Grandpa will be able to get timely treatment in the hospital, at least the situation will not get worse so quickly
So I hate and fear the epidemic
The hatred is because Grandpa died because of it
I was afraid because it was so powerful, the mutation was fast, it spread widely, and I couldn't beat it on my own
A deep sense of powerlessness always comes to mind
On every sleepless night
Although there are more and more bad things, it will continue tomorrow
Harbin has a population of 10 million people, 10 million stories, and 10 million ways to die
But there's a population of ten million people in this city, ten million kinds of loneliness, and there's always someone who wants to listen to your loneliness
"So, please smile"
Even if there are ten million ways to die in this city, we will still choose to continue to live authentically and strongly
Because the real heroes are those who see the truth of life but still love it
That's what I thought on my way to test nucleic acid on this rainy night
And then the damn thing happened and I started crying
