Sometimes there is a slight coolness that is not the wind
Text/Zhang Guomin
I like a song by the Song Dynasty poet Yang Wanli's seven-piece poem "Summer Chasing Coolness"——
The night heat is still the same as the afternoon heat, and the door is opened in the middle of the moon.
Bamboo deep tree dense insect song, sometimes there is a slight cool is not the wind.
In the summer of July, the heat is unbearable, and Yang Wanli's "slight coolness" is not the wind, but the bright moonlight in front of him, the dense shade of the trees, the bamboo forest, the pleasant insect groan, or the author's indifferent and quiet mentality. The summer day in July is like traveling through time and space, following its own trajectory as scheduled, still hot and unbearable, I sit quietly in front of the window to look at the world around me, let my thoughts fly, looking for my own "cool".

I wasn't the smartest student in the eyes of my teacher, but I was the hardest worker.
I remember that the homeroom teacher of the junior high school taught us the learning method at the class meeting at the beginning of the school year, sorting out the knowledge points of each science every day, sorting out the weekly learning every week, and sorting out what we learned in January every month. Do something every day, get something every week, get something every month. This method is time-consuming and laborious, many students do not insist, I am one of the few "stupid students" in the class who have always insisted.
I also remember that I was close to the registration for the middle school entrance examination, whether to apply for teacher training or secondary school, I hesitated. Returning to my dorm room after school, I passed by a teacher's dorm room and heard such a conversation-----
"My child applied for a teacher, xxx is a very strong opponent. Don't apply for secondary school! ”
"xxx, he can't...".
The previous hesitation, however, became more determined at that time.
After fierce competition, the dust finally settled on the mid-summer July exam. With a total score of 593 points, I ranked third among the county's teacher training candidates. With my own efforts, I have once again verified an eternal truth - a sweat and a harvest.
The heat of July was unbearable, but I held a wisp of coolness in my hand.

The daughter is studying in a foreign country in high school, and the wife's unit is not busy, and she accompanies her in the city. I was too busy at work to spend time with them during the holidays. It can be said that when she was growing up, I was absent.
Finally, once, my daughter took the worst exam in history. My wife, who had nothing to do, asked me for help. Helplessly whipped, so I wrote a long letter to my daughter, WeChat sent it over, in which I knew the affection, moved by reason to make the longest love story to my daughter. I don't know how big the effect was, but according to my wife, my daughter was in tears after reading the letter. After that, the daughter worked harder.
"A ride in the mountains, a ride in the water, walking towards the side of the college entrance examination, the lights are bright in the middle of the night."
The wind is more, the snow is more, the dream of picking the lights at night is not successful, and the college entrance examination is comforting. ”
This is a message I wrote to my daughter before the college entrance examination, borrowing the words of the Qing Dynasty lyricist Naran Zhide. As I wished, my daughter played normally in the college entrance examination. In the sweltering heat of July, I received my favorite university acceptance letter.
After many years, I still vividly remember the torment of the family waiting for the acceptance letter in the sweltering heat of July, and the bright smile of my daughter when she received the notification.
The heat in July was unbearable, but I was slightly cool.

This year, the new leaders of the county plan to convene a symposium of outstanding students in Yangyuan in the summer to jointly plan the development of Yangyuan. We were tasked with contacting recent graduates of 985 and 211 key universities to collect information about them.
Calm down, comb through carefully, and use all your strength to make contact in an intense manner. The students who had been separated for many years were contacted again, added WeChat, and became friends.
"Teacher, I graduated from Nankai graduate school and stayed in school." "Teacher, I am currently studying for a doctorate at the University of Iowa in the United States, and I am interning at a company these days. "Teacher, I am studying at Beihang Airlines!" "Teacher, I just got admitted to the graduate school of Beihang this year!" "Teacher, I graduated from Inner Mongolia University with a master's degree and am now at the Inner Mongolia Branch of the Bank of China!" "Teacher, I'm at Dalian Polytechnic!" "Teacher, I'm in Southwest Finance!" "Teacher, I'm at Harbin Institute of Technology. "Teacher, I am at Hebei University of Technology. ”......
So his or her current situation was clearly presented to my eyes. In the north and south of the sky, almost all of them are their figures. I can feel the pride they take when they tell me the message, and I feel the relief I feel when they receive it.
The heat of July is unbearable, and a wisp of coolness is in your hands.
