On that cold winter day in 1990, I was standing alone in the corner of the playground, shivering.

The meager amount of money at home was not enough to buy me a thick winter coat. The thin cotton school uniform couldn't stop the wind and snow in the north at all, and my thin body couldn't stop shivering.
Just when I thought I would never be able to survive this long winter, my tablemate Zhang Xuchuan came over. This boy from a wealthy family always had a willful look on his face, but he was very kind to me, an orphan.
"Runhe, you are so thin, you are going to be frozen if you wear such thin clothes!" Zhang Xuchuan didn't wait for me to answer, he took off a military coat on his body and wrapped it around me, "Give this coat to you, don't freeze anymore." "
The military coat was an unattainable luxury for me, a shabby student, and I shirked and wanted to return it to Zhang Xuchuan. But he insisted on shoving it into my hand, and counted me down in turn: "Do you know what a friend is?" We're good brothers!"
Zhang Xuchuan's gift has become the most precious treasure in my life. From that day on, this military coat was like a mother's embrace, giving me endless warmth and strength.
From that day on, that military coat became the most precious presence in my life. No matter the wind or rain, it wrapped me tightly, giving me unprecedented warmth and strength.
Zhang Xuchuan, a boy from a wealthy family, was very kind to me, an orphan. Maybe because of the difference in family background, he was always a little willful and indulgent, but he never skimped on friendship with me.
Whenever someone bullied me, he would loudly reprimand and defend my rights. With him by my side, I am no longer as lonely and helpless as I used to be.
However, just when I thought that Zhang Xuchuan would be my bosom friend forever, an unexpected thing happened. One day, Zhang Xuchuan suddenly did not come to class, and there was no trace of him for several days.
Later, I learned from my teacher that Zhang Xuchuan's parents had taken him away for some reason to study abroad. Zhang Xuchuan's departure was like a blow to the head, shattering my fragile heart.
We were too young to have a friendship with each other before we could go through the test of time, so it was suddenly interrupted. I wanted to write to Zhang Xuchuan thousands of times, but I was worried that it would affect his new life.
So, I condensed all my thoughts and attachments into the military coat that accompanied me through the most difficult period of my life. As the days passed, in high school and college, I gritted my teeth and persevered.
Although my family was poor, I never gave up my studies. Finally, with my tenacious struggle, I was admitted to the law department of a prestigious local university, and took the first step to realize my dream of becoming a lawyer.
After graduating from university, I got my wish and entered a law firm. At first, I was just an obscure clerk, but with my hard work and passion for the law, I quickly stood out and became the best business leader in the firm.
In this way, the years have passed like a white horse, and in the blink of an eye, I have struggled for more than 30 years. The shabby boy in my memory has long since transformed into an experienced senior lawyer.
However, no matter how high I have reached in life, the military coat that accompanied me through the most difficult period has always been the most precious existence in my life. It has witnessed my growth and transformation, and has always warmed my steps forward.

Sometimes, I would unfold my coat carefully, carefully examining the mottled marks on it. The creases, holes and wear are the marks of my youth, and they are also a testimony to the friendship between me and Zhang Xuchuan.
When I think of Zhang Xuchuan, I will inevitably feel a burst of pity and regret in my heart. If he hadn't left, would we have been good brothers for life? Will there be other opportunities and developments? These assumptions are no longer known.
In the blink of an eye, 34 years have passed since the snow day that left Zhang Xuchuan. In a blink of an eye, we have all entered the middle age of life. Perhaps, friends are like meteors, they will leave when they come, and they can only leave good memories.
Just when I thought my friendship with Zhang Xuchuan ended forever on that winter day 34 years ago, a shocking thing happened.
It was a cold winter afternoon, and I was wrestling my brains on a difficult case. As a senior lawyer at this law firm, I am always conscientious and tirelessly pursue the root cause of each case.
Suddenly, the bailiff hurried in and scuffled a middle-aged man covered in scars and ragged clothes. The man was accused of harassing people on the street in an extremely violent and manic manner.
"Miss Tao, this guy is so rampant that he almost injured innocent passers-by, what do you want to do with it?" The bailiff brought the man before me and waited for my decision.
At that moment, my eyes widened in disbelief, and I almost stood on the spot. The poor man who was beaten by others is clearly my old acquaintance Zhang Xuchuan, whom I haven't seen in 34 years!
The once rich son is now penniless, and his well-dressed temperament is completely gone, replaced by an embarrassed appearance.
His hair was unkempt, his face was bruised, and his clothes were in tatters. The most heart-wrenching thing is that his eyes that were once bright have long since been eclipsed.

"Zhang Xuchuan, is it really you?" Seeing my friend so depraved, my heart felt like it was twisted and painful.
Zhang Xuchuan was stunned for a moment, then glared fiercely, and let out a few low roars in his throat. It seems that he has completely forgotten about me back then.
As a qualified lawyer, I am expected to be rational and calm. Still, a wave of sourness began to churn in my heart. The friend who gave me a military coat back then has now fallen to such a point, how can I not be sad?
I can't help but think back to the days when we were inseparable 34 years ago, and the military coat that accompanied us. If he hadn't left then, would we have been good brothers all the time? If he had been mentally prepared, would he not have been allowed to embark on this road of no return?
The thought of this almost brought tears to my eyes. But soon, I dismissed these superfluous emotions. As a lawyer, I have a responsibility to make a fair judgment for Zhang Xuchuan. I was determined to find out the cause of his fall and try to get him back on the right path.
In the next few days, I repeatedly studied Zhang Xuchuan's case record materials. As the layers of mysteries are solved, Zhang Xuchuan's difficult experience in the first half of his life gradually surfaces, which makes me feel heartache.
It turned out that he was forced to leave because of the conflict at home......
In this way, with my full support, Zhang Xuchuan finally obtained the sentence he deserved and saved him from being imprisoned in vain. When the court adjourned, the crowd left in twos and threes, leaving only me and Zhang Xuchuan looking at each other.
At this moment, my heart is full of mixed feelings, and all kinds of past things echo in my mind like a match. That winter day 34 years ago, that military coat, our oaths and separations, everything seemed to be still in front of us.

"Asahikawa ......" I took a deep breath, suddenly took out the long-lost military coat from my bag, and handed it back to him, "This dress once warmed me, now please let it also warm the rest of your life." "
Zhang Xuchuan was stunned, his eyes stared at the old military coat, and he didn't speak for a long time. Just as I was about to take it back, he suddenly hugged it tightly and burst into tears.
"Runhe...... After all these years, you still have it...... What a good brother we are!" Zhang Xuchuan muttered incoherently, and finally a smile appeared on his face again.
Yes, we used to be good brothers and sisters. Although we have been separated for many years by accident, the military coat will always remember the friendship between us.
From now on, it will continue to warm each other's hearts, so that we have a piece of eternal waiting on the long road of life.
