Our flag-raising ceremony was in the middle of the two school buildings, and by the time we arrived, there were already many people from other classes standing in the square. After the head teacher asked us to stand up, I saw him walk up to Lin Yu and explain something, and Lin Yu nodded. Then he came to my side again and said, "When the flag raising is over and the principal finishes speaking, the first one to go up is Lin Yu, and the second is you." Remember not to be nervous when you go up, just read it out loud, you know? I nodded and said I understood.

At this time, the flag-raising ceremony has officially begun, and all of us stand solemnly and solemnly watching the flag flying in the wind, rising to the pole in the last line of the national anthem, and then flying in the blue and dazzling sky.

Then came the principal's speech, in which he first talked about some discipline matters, and then brought about the upcoming midterm exams. Finally, he said that on the theme of this time, "As you know, last week, our Municipal Education Bureau and all the middle schools in our city held a poetry and prose contest, and excellent works will not only be published in the youth books and magazines published this time, but also have certain cash prizes as we all know. The principal paused and continued, "And this time, four students from our school have won the rankings. There are two fourth-prize prizes and two third-prize prizes. Although the award is not very high. But being able to stand out among so many people can fully show that your work is very good! And this flag-raising ceremony is mainly to commend you and give you some encouragement. These works will then be posted on the school's bulletin board, and interested students can check them out. The principal's speech was over at this point, and then I heard another beautiful female voice say, "Then we have to ask the principal to award prizes to our four students, and also ask these four students to read their excellent works aloud to the students, so that all our teachers and students can learn from them!" The female voice paused after speaking, and then said, "The fourth prize of this literary contest is Lin Yu, the fifth class of junior high school, whose work is "Peers", everyone applauds!" ”

Thunderous applause came from all directions, and I saw Lin Yu walking forward slowly, but it was far away, and the people in front of me were all tiptoeing there. So I don't know what happened after she came on stage, but after a while, I heard the female voice just now say, "Please read your work aloud and emotionally." After that, everyone heard the principal shout silence in the microphone, and not long after, Lin Yu's sweet and greasy voice came from the microphone, "Teachers, students, good morning!" I am Lin Yu from the fifth class of junior high school, and the short essay I read to you is called "Peers", although it is very sad, it is a true story, and it is a ...... that I experienced when I was eight years old" After Lin Yu finished speaking, the whole school was quiet, I heard her take a deep breath from the microphone, and after calming down her emotions, I heard her clear voice from the microphone again. But this time it was not the same sweet and greasy as it was at the beginning, but quietly...... Sad ......

"'On the banyan tree by the pond, I know that I am crying for summer...... 'Whenever I sing this song, I always think of the little girl I met when I was eight years old when I went to my grandmother's house. Her name is Chang'e, and she's about my size.

I am familiar with the name Chang'e, and I have known it since I was in elementary school. Because the name comes from a very famous Chinese myth - the legend of Chang'e running to the moon. So, when I heard my grandmother tell me her name, I showed a lot of interest.

That was the first time I met Chang'e. She was dressed in shabby clothes that didn't fit, and I don't know if no one washed her or what. The stains on her clothes were faintly visible, and she looked at me a little timidly, although I didn't think I looked scary, but in Chang'e's eyes, it seemed that I was not.

Chang'e is very thin and thin, but she is indeed beautiful. That was her first impression on me. Especially those surprisingly large eyes. Because the first time I saw her, I was fascinated by those big eyes. There was a beautiful color in it that I had never seen before, blue and blue, and so clear......

Overall, I like Chang'e, even though she doesn't talk much. My grandmother told me it had something to do with her family's background, that her father had beaten her mother away when she was very young, and that her grandparents had died a long time ago. So she had to take care of herself for a long time, and by the way, her father, who was drunk all day.

But because her home is very close to her grandmother's house, and she is so sensible. So my grandmother has always felt very sorry for her, and she always gives her something delicious when she comes to play, and some old clothes that the children in the family don't wear will also be given to her. At that time, she was always very happy.

And what made me even more incredible was that at that time she already knew about Entu. Because her family's land was sold by her drunkard father at that time to drink alcohol, their family had no farm work. So whenever her grandmother's farm was busy, she would always come over to help, although her grandmother wouldn't let her help, but she insisted on it.

Chang'e has no friends, and even though her grandmother likes her very much, several children in her grandmother's family don't like her. They always said that she was a beggar for food, a beggar. So my appearance made the first friendship in her life, and it was also the last ......

Chang'e has never been studying, and her father's money has been used by her father to drink, so even though she has long reached the age of going to school, she still has no way to go to school.

So, she has a special affection for the word school.

She told me that whenever she had nothing to do, she would run to the back of her school home and listen to the teacher inside. She showed me the words she had stolen, and I was amazed that she could recognize and write so many words before she had never been to school.

She seemed to be satisfied by my expression, and couldn't wait to show off to me, "Xiaoyu, I can still write my name!" "I was even more surprised, to know that the word Chang'e can be said to be difficult to write for us at the age of eight. But what she didn't expect was that she could write it as someone who had never really stepped into the academy.

Moreover, her handwriting is so beautiful, and every stroke is so serious. I seem to see a kind of stubbornness from that comparison, a kind of stubbornness that does not admit defeat.

She was with me for the two weeks I was there. Show me everything she stole to learn. But after learning so much, her favorite is the song called "Childhood". She said it was the first time she had learned a song in her life. She sang with a beautiful voice, but she couldn't remember all the lyrics, and her singing was a little messy. However, when she finished singing, I gave her a round of applause.

Later, when I was leaving, she came to see me off. I cried, and so did she...... However, my grandmother comforted us and said that we would meet again in the future. I nodded and took off one of my favorite hairpins from my head and gave it to her. I still remember her sadly telling me that she didn't have anything to give me. I told her many times that it was okay, but she kept crying. Eventually, our car was far away, and I saw her still standing there waving at me.

Later, when I got home, I forgot about her after a while. The next time I thought of her was when my grandmother came to our house during the Chinese New Year. I asked her if Chang'e was okay at home? My grandmother looked at me, sighed sadly, and said, "She fell into the well and drowned, she was only eight years old, what a sin......

Later, I learned the details from my grandmother. It turned out that after his father sold all the family's land, there was nothing left to sell. In the end, the two tiled houses they lived in were sold, and the two of them lived in the dilapidated grass hut where her grandparents lived before. Because there was nothing to eat at home, she ran to the lake to steal things. But I don't want the deep wells that others have pumped without a lid......

"When it was finally salvaged, everyone was swollen...... "After the grandmother finished speaking, she sighed and shook her head, "What a sensible girl, she just wasted her ...... in vain"

I am so annoyed, I am annoyed that I live in such a good environment and complain every day, but I don't know how hard she has to work to learn a word. I blamed myself for forgetting her so quickly, that she was the best friend of her life, and that I had forgotten her in the first time I had turned around. Now I learned her favorite song, but I can't teach her anymore. And we agreed to meet again, I don't know if I broke my promise or if she broke the appointment......

But I have secretly made up my mind that I will go to see her, and when the time comes, I will sing her the song she likes......"
