The month I was born
In the early spring in the south of the Yangtze River, the drizzle is like silk, the breeze is light, and everything wakes up. The peach blossoms are in full bloom and the willow branches are swaying lightly, as if nature is whispering the story of spring. As I stood in front of the window, looking at this picturesque landscape, I couldn't help but feel a ripple in my heart. This month is the month of my birth and the beginning of my life's journey. At this special moment, I want to go back to that distant era of the Republic of China, trace the stories that happened in that month, and feel the charm of that era.
"The spring water is new, the spring forest is in full bloom, and the spring breeze is ten miles, not as good as you." The poem seems to have been tailor-made for the month of my birth. On that early spring day, I descended into the world with the laughter and anticipation of my parents. They named me "Chunsheng", which means that I was born in the season of spring full of vitality and hope, and I will have a bright future.
"During the Qingming Festival, it rains a lot, and the pedestrians on the road want to break their souls." My birthday coincides with the Qingming Festival, which has a special meaning during the Republic of China. On this day, people will sweep the tombs to worship their ancestors and remember their ancestors. My parents were no exception, and they took me back to my ancestral home to report to my ancestors about the new members of the family. In the process of worshipping my ancestors, I felt the weight of my family's inheritance and history. At that moment, I realized that I was not only an individual, but also a member of the family, carrying with me the expectations and responsibilities of the family.
"Green ant new brew wine, red clay small stove." During this month, the weather gradually warms up, and people begin to take off their heavy winter clothes and replace them with light spring shirts. The small stove in the house was gradually extinguished, and in its place was freshly brewed wine and a table full of delicacies. During this season, my family welcomed an important guest - my grandfather. He was a literati who read poetry and books, and exuded an elegant temperament. His arrival filled the home with laughter and culture.
My grandfather used to sit in front of the window and tell me stories about his youth while sipping tea. He told me that he used to teach in a small town in Jiangnan, where the students were very smart and eager to learn. He also recounted the deep camaraderie and unforgettable memories he had with his students. These stories filled me with yearning and curiosity about that era.
In addition to my grandfather's story, I also learned about the culture and history of the Republic of China period from the collection of books at home and the narration of my parents. It was an era of change and turmoil, but also an era of opportunities and challenges. Many literati and revolutionaries have left a strong mark on this era. Their spirit and deeds inspire me to constantly strive for progress and growth.
"The spring breeze is proud, and you can see all the Chang'an flowers in one day." During this month, I also felt the beauty and vitality of spring. I like to run and play in the fields and feel the breath of spring and the charm of nature. I also enjoy flying kites, catching butterflies and picking wildflowers with my friends. These activities made me feel the joy and carefree of childhood.
However, there are also some memorable things that happen during this wonderful month. It was a sunny afternoon, and my parents and I went out on a trip to the countryside. We walked along a winding path and enjoyed the scenery along the way. Suddenly, the quiet afternoon was broken by the sound of horses' hooves. We looked up and saw a troop of cavalry galloping in and dust. They were dressed in military uniforms and looked very formidable with weapons in their hands. We were stunned by the sudden sight and didn't know what to do.
Fortunately, the cavalry did not pose a threat to us, but hurried by. We learned afterwards that it was an army on a mission. This experience made me deeply feel the turmoil and unrest of that era. It also makes me cherish the peace and tranquility of the present even more.
This month has always been with me throughout my formative life. It has witnessed my growth and changes, and it has also left many good memories and touches. Whenever I think about this month, I always feel a warm current and gratitude in my heart.
Now that I have grown up, I have left my hometown and my parents to live independently. But that month is still the most precious memory and source of strength in my heart. It made me feel the beauty and preciousness of life, and also made me understand my responsibility and mission. In the days to come, I will continue to work hard, continue to pursue progress and growth, and make unremitting efforts to achieve my dreams and goals!
