It's the best of times,
This is the worst of times.
- Memories 2019 -
At the end of 2018, Wang Xing, the founder of Meituan, posted such a paragraph on his homepage.
2019 may be the worst year of the past decade, but it will be the best year of the next decade.
At that time, we all sounded like a joke.
Now look at our world, it really became a joke.
Time is like a train, in 2019 as we sped by, the sun and scenery outside the window of the car, when we felt so taken for granted.
But I don't want to, and what comes behind is a dark tunnel that we never know the end.
In 2019, the first batch of post-90s is about to enter the year of 30 years old.
This year, many things have happened, we complain, we complain... The world is getting worse and worse.
But today, we miss it so much.
At that time, we didn't have to wear masks when we went out, there were always many people on the road, in the sun, everyone was brisk, thinking about the future, I think it should be good.
We didn't have to stock up on food, it was fashionable to break away, and there wasn't much food in the fridge.
Every weekend, there are always many people in the park, by the lake, on the lawn, setting up tents and sneaking dogs.
We don't know what is "red and yellow" and "home isolation".
That year, we never thought about involution, stock plunge, unemployment, layoffs...
We don't seem to worry too much about running out of money, just as money always comes.
At that time, we were always chasing those Internet celebrity shops, street stalls, crowding people in line...
Every night, every city's supper stalls are full of fireworks, the voices are boiling, and the stream is endless...
Unlike now, being able to cook a bowl of instant noodles at home is a great happiness.
At that time, all the shopping malls, the three floors outside the three floors were people, go in without taking out the mobile phone to check the health code, catch up with the meal, eat a meal and take a number plate, queue up to wait for the number.
There is no epidemic in 2019, there is no 2+12, 7+14, the distance of each city seems to be very close, Hangzhou to Shanghai, there is no need to tangle.
At that time, the high-speed rail station was always crowded, there was no "lockdown", "high-risk area", and there was no need to take body temperature in and out of the station.
The trip at that time was really a trip that could be said to be walked.
That year, we have begun to do travel plans for 2020, various strategies, and travel abroad, but a ticket and a visa.
We thought, we're going to Turkey for a hot air balloon ride...
Go to Norway to see the Aurora Borealis...
Go to the African savannah to chase zebras and bison...
The last time, to Madai, Chiang Mai, Bali, Saipan... Play diving and stay in a hotel where you can see the sea every day.
In 2019, it is not very peaceful.
In the spring of that year, Yushu in Qinghai suffered a once-in-a-decade snow disaster.
On April 15, a fire broke out at Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris, France, and the entire building was severely damaged.

"The Beijing Road Safety Commission reminds you: there are thousands of roads, safety is the first, driving is not standardized, and relatives have two lines of tears." The phrase is broadcast worldwide in 28 languages.
Therefore, many people call 2019 the "first year of Chinese science fiction films", but some people say that it is the "circle" of "yuan", because that year there was also a movie called "Shanghai Fortress".
Not only fans, but also fans are happy.
In the 2019 Asian Cup, the Chinese men's football team reversed Thailand 2:1 to reach the quarterfinals, giving Chinese a shot in the arm, and the Internet was full of wonderful goals from the national football team.

If Zhao Benshan's sketch "Yesterday, Today, Next Year" was on the Spring Festival Gala in 2019, then I think he may say about this piece:

2019 is also a year of farewell.
The First Age of the Marvel Universe came to an end in this year with Avengers 4, and everything was like a prophecy, and there were no more superheroes who could save the world.
Of course, some goodbyes are obviously less sincere and decent, such as "Game of Thrones".
A grandiose story that ended abruptly seemed to give a bad start to the "endgame" of the 2010s.
This year, there are still many beautiful stories that have become dream bubbles.

All the good old days
It came to an abrupt end at this moment.
"Hopefully it's all a false alarm."
