Life, sometimes it is like an unknown movie, in a moment, like a glimpse, but enough to change our life.
Life, sometimes, is always thrilling, and whether you are ready or not, it will take over your world in an instant when you are most undefended, like a cheetah attack.
That day, it was such a day, we faced not only a glimpse of life, but also a deepest understanding and perception of friendship and life.
One day a year ago, when the bright sun illuminated the newly green mountains, my friends and I met to climb a hill in the suburbs, and after staying in a closed city for a long time, we longed for the freedom of unfettered, and we wanted to find a long-lost peace in it.
But on that very day, we had an accident that changed my attitude towards life and made me unforgettable for the rest of my life.
The sun was brighter than ever, as if it could illuminate every corner of our hearts. A gentle breeze blows through, bringing fresh mountain air and a faint floral fragrance. Birds sing happily on the branches and butterflies dance among the flowers.
As we walked on the mountain road, laughter echoed through the valley, and I picked up my camera to capture the beauty of these moments, hoping to seal this peace and joy in my memory.
We taste a variety of mountain delicacies in small roadside shops, some with unique tastes, some with all colors and aromas. Some new foods always bring new joys, which is perhaps one of the charms of travel.
We walked along the trail and enjoyed the surrounding scenery along the way. The streams in the valley are babbling, the flowers on the hillsides are splendid, and the mountains are majestic in the distance.
However, the moment we climbed to the top, all the laughter froze instantly. The scenery is still the same, the sun is still the same, but our mood instantly drops to freezing. It was the most thrilling moment of our trip and the most memorable moment of our lives.
As we looked at the green of the mountains and the sea of clouds in the distance, my friend Li Ming walked alone to a rock, and he wanted to get close to the edge of the mountaintop platform in order to capture the more magnificent scenery.
However, just as his feet stepped on a rock on the platform, the soft earth did not seem to bear his weight, he lost his balance, and he slipped with the rock towards the depths of the cliff.
At that moment, time seemed to stop. His screams, his terrified face, and his eyes that looked helpless from panic were deeply imprinted in my mind.
We were all stunned, and no one expected such a thing to happen. Everyone's faces froze with smiles, and their eyes were full of shock and fear.
Then, we reacted quickly and started the rescue operation. I immediately took out my cell phone and dialed the rescue number, while the others comforted each other and began to organize the rescue operation down the mountain.
At the edge of that hilltop platform, the steepness of the trail is prohibitive. When I looked up, I saw only a hard rock and a stretch of land, like an abyss of despair.
Looking down the mountainside, stones of various shapes rolled down because of Li Ming's descent, as if to foreshadow our next difficult journey. The cane in my hand seemed to be my only support, and I gripped it tighter.
Every step is subjected to the impact of talc, as if our feet are constantly being tested, testing our determination and perseverance.
The ground under the stones is loose, making it impossible to find a firm foothold. Whenever the stones under our feet slide, we feel like dancing on the edge of a cliff, and that feeling is like gambling, gambling on our courage and destiny.
Even in the face of such a grim situation, we have no idea of backing down. Everyone plucked up their courage and walked firmly towards the bottom of the mountain.
We have only one goal in mind, and that is to find Li Ming. Everyone's eyes were full of determination and tenacity, as if to say: "No matter how difficult it is ahead, we will also find him." ”
Although our physical and mental strength is gradually being drained, our resolve has not diminished in the slightest. Fear, fatigue, and anxiety have been circling in our hearts, but none of them has shaken our resolve.
We supported each other and there were hardships and challenges along the way, but we were always resilient. In this way, step by step, we firmly headed down the mountain.
As we struggled on that seemingly hopeless mountain road, a miracle occurred. We have found a path forgotten by the years, which is like a ray of hope that leads us forward.
The trail is steep and difficult, covered with talcum and weeds. Walking on this path, every step requires our full attention, carefully avoiding talcum and ensuring that our pace is steady.
Along both sides of the path, steep mountain walls and bottomless valleys are a formidable beauty.
Anxiety and fear accompany us, but deep hopes sustain us to keep going. Our eyes widened, preoccupied with any possible clues, and everyone prayed that Li Ming could be found.
Our throats were painfully dry, but we didn't stop to rest, just kept walking forward, hoping to find him as soon as possible.
Finally, in a messy wood, we saw Li Ming. He lay on the hillside, pale and covered in sweat, apparently in great pain and fear.
But we are relieved that he has no visible trauma. Although his clothes were torn and his face was covered with dirt, his eyes still shone with toughness.
He saw us and barely squeezed out a smile, and at that moment, we knew that we had found him and that he was still alive.
That hillside was like a battlefield, full of stones and dirt. Li Ming was lying in it, apparently he barely stopped in the process of sliding down, using all his strength.
His location was not far from the top of the mountain, surrounded by a messy patch of stones and branches that looked like he had collided with as he slipped. The slope of the hill is extremely steep, almost vertical, and I can't imagine how Li Ming survived in such conditions. But, seeing him there, tired but safe, the boulder in our hearts finally landed.
At this time, our inner worries are temporarily better. We handed Li Ming food and water, and he took it with a slightly trembling hand, the physical exertion and fear that made him so weak.
Watching him slowly bite into a bite of food, each of us secretly clenched our fists, a strength that came from a deep concern for our friends.
His face gradually returned to normal, and his tired expression gradually disappeared, which made us feel truly relieved.
However, this is only a short respite, and the road down the mountain is still difficult.
The road was covered with loose stones and rough roads, and we had to walk carefully. Every step requires us to find a balance between stones and mud, and if we are not careful, we may slip again.
Li Ming's body was very weak, walking wobbly, there was no way, we had to take turns to support him and ease his burden as much as possible.
In the process of descending the mountain, our physical strength is also gradually depleted. Whenever we feel tired, we will look at Li Ming next to us, and his resolute eyes and persistent attitude make us pluck up courage again.
As time passed, it slowly darkened, and in order to go down the mountain early, we decided to take turns carrying Li Ming so that we could go to the hospital early to give Li Ming a full body examination.
Although he insisted on going on his own, we all knew that it was our duty as friends.
However, when we thought we had seen the bottom of the mountain, new difficulties arose ahead. A small stream blocked our way, and the current was rapid, making it impossible for us to pass easily.
We looked around for places to cross, but we couldn't find them.
Seeing the sky getting darker, we felt more anxious than ever.
However, no one gave up. We cheered each other on each other, summoned up courage, and looked for solutions to problems. Eventually, we found a large tree with a trunk straddling the stream, like a godsend bridge.
We rested a little, and a friend carried Li Ming on his back to the opposite bank.
We ended up crossing the stream and continuing down the mountain. Although there are many difficulties, we have not given up, and we understand that as long as we have faith and courage, no amount of difficulties can stop us.
We finally took him to the hospital down the hill and braved the cold of the night, the hospital lights seemed particularly warm in the night.
The nurse asked us to put Li Ming on the bed in the emergency room, and several of our friends gathered around him, with anxious and expectant looks on their faces.
Despite exhaustion, everyone refused to leave, their eyes glued to the door, waiting for the doctor to appear.
The arrival of the doctor broke the silence of the ward, and he carefully examined Li Ming, leaving nothing missing from head to toe.
He asked about Li Ming's symptoms, seemingly prosaic questions, each of which was related to Li Ming's safety.
He checked Li Ming's cardiopulmonary function with a stethoscope, gently pressed Li Ming's abdomen with his fingers, and every movement was so careful that we could even hear his slight breathing. And then let's go and make various films.
Everyone was anxiously waiting for the results of the examination.
When we showed the film to the doctor, the doctor looked up and smiled reassuringly, and we were all relieved.
He told us that Li Ming was not seriously injured, but that his physical strength was overstretched and frightened, and he needed to rest well.
At that moment, we looked at each other, and our eyes were filled with deep relief and joy.
After we thank the doctor. We came to the hospital bed and looked at Li Ming lying on the hospital bed, and the burden in our hearts was finally let go. Although he was pale, he actually smiled when he saw our faces, and at that moment, we knew that we did the right thing and that our efforts were worth it.
On that day, we deeply realized the fragility and preciousness of life. What was originally thought to be an easy mountaineering activity suddenly turned into a struggle for life in an instant.
Whenever I think back to that afternoon, the moment when Li Ming slipped from the top of the mountain, the powerless panic, the despair that was like a knife in my heart, seemed to surge in my heart again.
At that moment, the fragility of life was so naked before our eyes, and at that moment, we understood that every moment cannot be taken lightly, and every moment is precious.
However, on the same day, we also deeply felt the power and value of friendship. In the face of difficulties, we did not give up, but chose to move forward. We work together, face together, fight together.
During that long and difficult time, each of us was working towards the same goal, that is, to get Li Ming back safely. Every support, every encouragement, every help, creates an indestructible connection between us.
At that moment, we understood the importance of friendship and understood that we can let go of everything for the sake of friends.
So, even though the experience of that day made me a little painful, a little scared, I will never forget.
Because that day, I learned the meaning of life and the power of friendship.
That day became a sign in my memory, a story that I will never forget.
On that day, I cherished my current life even more, and cherished the friendship between me and my friends.
