unforgettable

Unforgettable hometown river, where summer play, winter ice and snow.

Unforgettable hometown of Tushan, where I used to chase the sweat and rush to the top of the mountain.

Unforgettable fields in my hometown, where there were large fields of green crops, golden rape flowers, and countless colorful butterflies, dragonflies, buzzing bees, jumping sparrows... Are those childhood buddies still free?

What is more unforgettable is the simple nostalgia of the hometown, a face full of wrinkles and vicissitudes, black, red, black and red full of silly smiles, and the years cannot erase the leisurely and self-satisfied look. Men smoke cheap cigarettes but still can't hide their inner satisfaction. Lovingly watching the children who sprinkle joy all over the yard and the women who can never put needlework in their hands, basking in the warm sun. Slightly closed eyes seem to be quietly sleeping, in that quiet dream is there a sweet happiness?

Now, after years of hard work, I thought I could finally catch my breath and take a break. Stop your hasty steps and look around. Watch the bustling crowds come and go like hard-working ants on the ground. Everywhere is full of red and green lights, and the streets are also a noisy and busy scene of people. But I occasionally think of the goodness of my hometown, the quietness of my hometown, the simplicity of my hometown...

Is this what makes people reach middle age and enter the autumn of life? Taste it, only taste it yourself!

if

What if today were the last day of your life? Do you regret the time that has passed away in a hurry, do you regret not being able to accompany your lover, children, parents, friends......

If we don't see each other again today, will we cherish every minute together, cherish every look, every affectionate embrace, and will we still argue endlessly for a word, a topic?

If we are like bees and grasshoppers with only a few months of life, will we still squander our youth endlessly?

Life is only once with us, how to live up to this life, to be a person who is beneficial to society, to be a valuable person. It is a proposition that we have been pondering. In the global outbreak of the epidemic in 2019, the world trembled, and almost everyone endangered themselves and avoided it. Resolute resistance around the world has sparked speculation about life and death?

How to survive? Live well, how to live? For parents for families for themselves for society...

Solve the most basic survival problems first, and then think about other things, about money about their own aftermath, whether it has been arranged for the family, will my departure affect their quality of life? Will it push the family to live a more secure life for a while? Will my family adapt to the world as soon as possible after I leave, and live well as brave and independent?

So I began to think about the eternal method: suddenly I felt that the money I left behind was not of much use at all, and the usefulness may only come from the strength in my bones and the courage and perseverance not to be afraid of failure and tribulation, right?

I think I have been busy with work all these years, and I have seen the stitches and needles to arrange the time to fill up, but I have forgotten the most important thing - educating children, how to make a living? How to face setbacks and tribulations. Facing the menacing epidemic really made me calm down and think: how to go in the future? Do you occasionally stop and take a look at this wonderful world? Because life can't last forever, you never know what will happen in the next second?

Live in the present and cherish every day of life, cherish every friend, cherish everyone you meet in this life, because it is difficult to meet in the next life, the fate of this life is divided into this life, no regrets, no regrets. Born as a master, dead as a ghost. Song Li Qingzhao's "Summer Sentence" is still nostalgic, facing death, not afraid, facing disaster, brave to bear! This is the spirit that comes from the bones, and it is the simplest character that everyone should have!

Former Soviet writer Gorky: Be a brave petrel and let the storm come more fiercely! What a river of gas. May each of us be brave petrels, to fight the long sky, not afraid of the terrifying waves!!!
