A brief moment

When did the river bank see the moon at the beginning of the year?

Last summer, my family went to Dapeng New Area in Shenzhen to play. For the student party, in the first long vacation after the epidemic was lifted, and it was an inland child, watching the sea was undoubtedly the biggest obsession. Although it is not the first time to go to the beach, for me, it is like eating seafood, most likely I will not eat it often, and the occasional taste is enough to satisfy the emptiness of the taste buds.

As the car drove on the coastal road, my heart had already been seduced by the sound of the waves, the low mountain bag was the veil of the sea, sometimes unveiled, the sea breeze greeted me, and then the sea embraced, and sometimes it was covered, leaving the lapping of the waves, which was also a signal of warm invitation to us. There is also a light-hearted song in the car, there is a saying that a trip to play, when the highest sense of happiness should be on the way to the destination, simply put, the expectation is about to become a reality;

Arrive at the accommodation, put down the luggage, the room is a sea view room with an excellent view, standing on the balcony, everything around is full of the breath of the sea, the pier is full of sailboats swaying in the wind, behind the pier is the embankment that extends to the sea, there is a small train still running on it, the embankment and then go over, it is the royal blue sea connected with the sky, the cruise ship draws a white line on the blue drawing paper, the white foam, like a synchronized swimmer, jumps out of the water, unfolds from the middle of the line in turn, and finally pierces into the water, forming a long triangle, intertwined with each other。

Packed up and enjoyed a complimentary afternoon tea, since the sea near the hotel is not fully developed, our plan is to try the water in the pool today and then go to the sea tomorrow. There's nothing special in the pool, it's just that it's okay to get out of the film according to the popular words now, after all, it's an open-air type.

In addition to the seafood, we also tasted delicious kiln chicken, and we were also outside, sitting in the gazebo described in the primary school textbook "Falling Peanuts", adults eating, drinking and joking, children chasing and playing nearby, chatting happily, some children found that the moon emerged from the top of the mountain, although there were thin clouds to cover it, it could not stop the dark night, the shining moon, illuminating the corner of the mountain, but also shining the footprints of the wind. Just like in reality, more people pay attention to where to watch the sunrise, while few people say to see the moonrise, and the bright moon is put into the night by us, and the wind also covers it cooperatively. It didn't take long for me to get up and walk, and when I turned around, I found that a full moon hung high in the night sky, and the traces on its surface were so clear, and the shadows of the trees were so clear, as if everything had fallen silent, and I looked at it quietly, and the shadows were three. Although I am in a foreign country with my family, I can also experience the faint sorrow of what year it is.

Although I was going to play in the sea the next day, I still looked up the time of sunrise and set an alarm clock in advance. At half past five, I got up and turned on successfully, rushed to the embankment to sit and wait for the sunrise, and many tourists sat on the embankment early and blew the sea breeze to check in and take pictures. Seeing that the sky was still blue, I walked around the embankment, and the cross stone embankment facing the sea was empty, and there were many yellow and purple wildflowers growing on the side of the sea, and here was the pier, and there were small schools of fish roaming in the deep blue water. After a while, the white clouds on the horizon were slowly dyed with pale yellow, although the sea breeze was weak, but it could be seen that it was painting on the horizon, and the pen should be very stable, the clouds were gradually divided into two large pieces, thin at both ends and thick in the middle, like a big shell, and when the shape of the shell was stable, it began to depict the lines on the shell, and at the same time, visible to the naked eye, it was now added to the red, and the shell became more and more three-dimensional. I also know it's telling me that the sun is about to rise. While admiring the paintings of the wind, holding a mobile phone, always ready to take pictures, I have been to the beach, but it is the first time to watch the sunrise on the beach. As the red became more and more vivid, at the sea and sky, the sun came out, this should be the most classic red, I quickly pressed the shutter, sent it to our family group, and quickly typed to tell them that I wanted them to come down quickly, and I hope the sun can go slower. However, it is more appropriate to use a snail to describe its rising speed at this time, in the naked eye. At the beginning is the junction of the sea and the sky, slowly the red and yellow to the sky, divergence, on the sea, the reflection of the sun is more and more magnificent, sparkling, floating and golden, everyone's face is shining like a golden Buddha light, after a while it is completely presented in front of our eyes, the whole sky, the whole ocean, shining. Bathed in the light, the distracting thoughts in my mind have long been thrown away, the exhaustion in my body has gradually faded, the sea breeze is slightly cool, but there is a warm fire in my heart, which is burning. The wind seems to have taken away its paintings with interest, giving way to the sun. I kept switching the way I took my photos, just to be able to capture this short but wonderful moment in the photos, and to preserve this gift of nature.

After a short break and breakfast, I boarded the ferry, which looks like a converted fishing boat, and I've been on a small boat before, but this time it's more exciting. The semi-open-air boat, the speed is fast, stirring up layers of waves, constantly bumping up and down, like riding a roller coaster on the sea, our captain is also racing with the boat next to him, the screams of the boat, the lapping of the hull against the sea, and the rumbling of the engine...... When the boat reached the shore, it walked along a rocky road and came to a lively beach, quickly undressed and stabbed into the sea, ignoring the small spiked stones under his feet. It has a sea jet ski for the brave, but I prefer to fight the waves alone, but unfortunately I can't go deeper without a swimming ring. The waves come from afar, grow strong from weak, and then slowly weaken and crash towards the beach, whatever the reason, at least near the coast, and over and over again, forming deep friendships with challengers from all over the world.

I like to take pictures and capture moments that I think will be unforgettable, and during those days at the beach, the camera was occupied by the sea. On New Year's Eve, I cut an annual short video about 2023, which started with a short video taken on the ferry boat, followed by photos. Then at the beginning of January this year, during exam week, I thought about sitting and relaxing in the back lake next to our school, it happened to be sunset, many people were sitting on the lawn, most of the back lake was right now, there were wild ducks in the lake, some college students were singing in the small square nearby, some people were walking or jogging on the track, and there were also many people with professional cameras shooting the sunset, so comfortable. The sun is faint, the lake is hazy, while the sun has not completely set, I want to find a good angle to shoot down, tune around, always feel dissatisfied, not long, the sun has touched the top of the mountain, hurry up to take a few photos, after a while, the sun will be in a hurry to leave no trace, my heart inexplicably feel very fast. After having dinner with a friend, I came to Houhu again, it was still the beginning of the new year, and night fell, and the sound of fireworks came and went. I wanted to take a walk, but I was stuck in my heels by these exquisite fireworks. It's not easy to capture the moment when the big fireworks bloom, or the more beautiful moment of the small one, so I thought about it later. That fleeting beauty will not change in the video. I added the photos I started to take and cut a small video, sent it to the circle of friends, and watched it again, although that moment has passed, it has remained in my phone, or it has been imprinted in my mind. That sunrise by the sea, I may still have the opportunity to see the same scene again, but probably not the first unique feeling, but the moment that passes, the first time, I believe will resurface in front of me in some other way.

Like I'm writing these words, time is every brief moment that passes, and photos are a great tool to remember a moment. When I look at the photos in the album now, it's like a movie. We always have an event, a memory, even if it's a wonderful moment on the pitch, it's all connected by a brief moment. When life is dull, there will certainly be no lack of pain and joy. Whether it is a memory or something that is happening, we can also imagine it as a small slice of a moment, time will move gently and quietly, and we can also learn to adjust our mood and mentality reasonably, zoom in or out, do not stick to the future, and enjoy every short moment.

Life has been infinite from generation to generation, and Jiang Yue looks similar every year.
