The first rays of sunlight creep into the cracks of the town, and the scenery by the creek is dyed with a faint golden glow. Li Xiaozhi, a young man who usually wears a somewhat uninhibited smile, is now standing by the river, clutching a crumpled piece of paper that he wrote after careful consideration last night - an unusual "letter of guarantee", or rather, closer to a letter of self-reflection and commitment.
Early morning reflections
The sound of last night's quarrel seemed to still be in the air, and it was a rare fierce conflict between Li Xiaozhi and his father. The reason is not complicated, but it touches the deep sensitive point in the hearts of the father and son - Li Xiaozhi's impulsiveness and reckless behavior disappointed his father, who has always been strict but loving. In the dead of night, Li Xiaozhi lay on the bed, tossing and turning, his father's heart-wrenching eyes and the hurtful words he uttered impulsively in his mind. He realized it was time for a change.
Oath by the river
In the early morning, when the first rays of sunlight sprinkled on the river, sparkling, Li Xiaozhi came to the river with that heavy mood. He found a quiet corner and sat down, looking at the gurgling water, mixed emotions surging in his heart. He slowly unfolded the paper in his hand, a letter to himself, a promise to his family, friends, and even himself in the future.
"Dear self," Li Xiaozhi said softly, with a subtle tremor in his voice, "I know that in the past, I was always self-centered, acting impulsively, and not caring about the feelings of others. I hurt the people who loved me the most and also plunged myself into endless remorse. But today, I decided to change. ”
He paused, his gaze more determined, "I promise that from now on, I will learn to control my emotions and no longer let impulses dictate my actions." I will listen to others, understand their positions, and solve problems in a more mature and rational way. At the same time, I will also take responsibility for my family, my friends, and my own life. ”
Dialogue and reconciliation
At this moment, a familiar figure appeared by the river, it was Li Xiaozhi's father. The father obviously stayed up all night, his eyes were full of exhaustion, but more of his concern and expectation for his son. The two of them didn't speak, just sat quietly, enjoying this rare tranquility.
Finally, Li Xiaozhi plucked up the courage and handed the letter in his hand to his father. "Dad, I wrote it. I know I'm doing a lot wrong, but I really want to change. His voice was soft, but full of sincerity.
My father took the letter and read it carefully, his eyes moistening. He looked up at his son, his eyes full of relief and encouragement. "Ash, it's more important than anything that you realize your mistakes and be willing to change them. Remember, there will always be setbacks on the way to growth, but as long as you are willing to turn back, home will always be your strongest backing. ”
Inner metamorphosis
At that moment, Li Xiaozhi seemed to have unloaded a thousand pounds of burden, and the haze in his heart was swept away. He understood that true repentance is not only a confession of the past, but also a commitment and effort for the future. He stood up and walked side by side with his father by the river, his heart filled with unprecedented determination and hope.
Since then, Li Xiaozhi has really changed. He has become more mature and steady, and has learned to empathize with those around him with love and understanding. And that special "letter of guarantee" has also become the most valuable wealth in his life journey, reminding him to keep moving forward and growing.
By the small river in the town, this experience was like a seed, quietly taking root and sprouting, and finally blooming into a gorgeous flower, witnessing Li Xiaozhi's transformation from youth to maturity.
