The word retirement always seems to carry a touch of melancholy and reluctance, like a long farewell movement, announcing the end of a stage of life. However, as Mo Yan said, when we really stepped into the threshold of retirement, we suddenly found that those colleagues, classmates, and friends who once thought were indispensable were actually just hurried passers-by in life, and their figures gradually faded away, and finally turned into vague silhouettes in memory. And those comparisons and faces that once made us fight and worry about them also seem so insignificant at this moment, like a passing cloud, gone with the wind.
Retirement is not the end of life, but a new beginning. It is like an open door, leading us into a wider and freer world. Here, we are no longer bound by busy work, and we are no longer exhausted for promotions and salary increases. We have more time to focus on our hearts and pursue dreams and interests that have been put aside in the corner.
We can pick up the brush of our youth again and paint the scenery in our hearts with color, we can calm down and savor the spiritual feast brought by a good book, and we can meet up with three or five friends to stroll on the paths of the park and enjoy the rare tranquility and harmony. Life after retirement is like a colorful picture, waiting for us to depict and savor it.
After retirement, we have also become more relaxed and open-minded. We no longer worry about trivial matters, and we no longer compromise for the sake of face. We have learned to let go of past grievances and entanglements, and to treat everyone around us with tolerance and understanding. We understand that the true meaning of life is not how much wealth and status we have, but how many sincere emotions and good memories we can have.
After retirement, we also know how to cherish it more. We cherish every moment we spend with our families, every moment we spend with old friends, and every intimate contact with nature. We understand that these are the most precious treasures in life, and they are worthy of our careful protection and cherishment.
At the same time, we also know how to be grateful. We are grateful to those who have accompanied us through ups and downs, and to those who have given us selfless help and support. We understand that every encounter and parting in life is a fate, which is worth cherishing and grateful.
Mo Yan's words gave us a deeper understanding and comprehension of retirement. It makes us understand that retirement is not the end of life, but a new beginning. It gives us the opportunity to re-examine our lives and redefine our worth and meaning. At this new starting point, we can face life more calmly and truly, and pursue those happiness and satisfaction that truly belong to us.
So, let's cherish the time after retirement! Let's experience the beauty of life with our hearts and feel the warmth of the world with love. Let's start our life journey anew at this new starting point, to pursue those dreams and happiness that truly belong to us. Retirement is not the end, but a new beginning, let us work together to meet a better tomorrow!
