Take stock of my 2021: Thanksgiving for the gifts of the years

Text/Wang Huicheng

A tiring wound is the best thing life can give you, because on top of every wound marks a step forward.

- Romain Roland (French writer)

Unconsciously, today is the last day of 2021, looking at the only page of calendar paper left on the table calendar, I quietly looked at the number 31 on it, feeling that the purpose was to remind me that it was time to take stock of the year that was about to pass.

Some people say that on the last day of 2021, I only want to sit in the study, a cup of tea and a wisp of books to enjoy the rare tranquility. Yes, tomorrow is 2022, a new year, may the years be quiet, may the country be safe. At the end of the year, you should always say something about the past year, and there is only one word in your heart, thank you for the gifts of the years.

Today is the last day of 2021, thinking about this, I can't help but feel more emotional and cherish the years more. For the past days, in addition to gratitude, it is still gratitude. Yes, what else is there but gratitude? The years urge people to grow old, but without the experience of the years, where are our pampered and idyllic and leisurely state of mind today?

Happiest day

May 13, Wenyu River Country Park. On this day, the sun was shining and the weather was fine. I drove with my lover and daughter to Wenyuhe Country Park, more than ten kilometers away. See the blue sky and white clouds flowers meadows, so happy!

Since my daughter came to Beijing to study 6 years ago and later stayed in Beijing to work, our family of three has rarely been together. I remember the first time we played together outside of our hometown was when she was just admitted to college 12 years ago, and my lover and I made a green-skinned train to take her. My lover and I were young then, and now 12 years have passed. I was really happy to watch my daughter and her mother talk and laugh together.

A month ago, my sister was also in Beijing, and the four of us went to the Summer Palace together that day, and in the fragrant peach and plum fragrance of the garden, watching my daughter and aunt take pictures together among the flowers, my lover and I sat on a bench to rest, and the black swans swam freely in the lake. Facing the lake and mountains and bright spring light in front of me, my heart could not be calm under any circumstances. More than a decade ago, my sister lived in my house with her children and took care of my sister-in-law who was in a car accident for four or five years. At that time, my daughter was still in her second year of junior high school, and now she has been graduating from graduate school and working for almost six years.

Jiren has its own heavenly appearance, and this year we have once again survived the disaster, and the whole family has crossed a hurdle. My lover and daughter, the most important person in my life, have withstood the test of fate through all the hardships and dangers. Although the season is already late spring, but the flowers and plants in front of me are still so bright, the park tourists shuttle, the laughter in the ears is noisy, life is still as good as ever, how can I not be grateful for the gift of fate to me?

The most memorable days

June 8, the second day of the college entrance examination. Shortly after the end of the first language college entrance examination, I received a college entrance examination essay topic sent to me by pan Shijin reporter of "Qilu Net Newspaper Qilu One Point", and was invited to write an essay on the same topic. The national new college entrance examination volume I used by the Shandong college entrance examination this year, the essay topic in this year's college entrance examination language test paper is based on a passage on the "effect of sports" in Mao Zedong's "Research on Sports", and writes out his own feelings and thoughts.

【True Question Playback】Read the following material and write according to the requirements.

In April 1917, Mao Zedong published an article in the New Youth entitled "Research on Sports", in which he pointed out that the human body changes every day when discussing the "effect of sports". Unclear eyes can be clear, and deaf ears can be deaf. If the strong are born to abuse their strength, even the strongest may eventually become the weakest; and if the weak exercise diligently and gain what they cannot, they will become strong over time. Therefore, "those born strong do not have to be complacent, and those born weak do not have to be self-pitying." I was born weak, or heaven tempted me to be strong, unknowable."

The above statement has enlightening significance. Please write an essay based on the material to reflect your feelings and thoughts.

Requirements: select the right angle, determine the intention, clarify the style, and draft the title; do not make a mockup, do not copy; do not leak personal information; not less than 800 words.

I quickly read the material given by the topic, linked to the reality of recent years that society attaches importance to cultural learning and despises physical exercise, and quickly determines the theme of expression. So while the iron was hot, I couldn't even eat lunch, so I sat on the sofa in the living room and quickly wrote down my feelings with my mobile phone. In less than forty minutes, I wrote an essay on the same topic under the title of "Be the Strongest Self.". After I sent it to Pan reporters on WeChat, I ate lunch at the urging of my lover. To my surprise, the next day's "Qilu Evening News Qingwei" column with the content of "writing college entrance examination essays together" published five college entrance examination essays with the same topic, including "Be the Strongest Self" that I wrote! On the day of the college entrance examination on June 7, I recalled that the essay "Life is Like a Book" taught to me by the junior high school teacher 40 years ago was just published in the "Shandong Education Newspaper Xingtan", and today the article was reported again. My article is still the first time it has appeared in the Qilu Evening News, and my joy is self-evident. I know that my level is limited, which is the encouragement and encouragement of the editing teacher. This experience made me feel more confident in my writing, and I was once again grateful to all the editors and teachers. Since I joined the Qilu Evening News on September 10 last year and opened my personal one-point number, I have received warm encouragement and active support from Cao Zhuqing, Li Kangning, Sha Yuansen, editors-in-chief, Pan Shijin, Kong Xin, Qin Juan, Gong Yueyue, Chen Shuo, Zhu Wenlong, Li Fei and other editors and reporters.

At any time, the years bring us not only busy toil, but also the joy of harvest. In less than three hours, we will have a promising 2022.
