Box 2: Treasures of the Stars

Digital treasures have brought me a lot of changes in my life.

I believe that digital treasures have also brought a lot of changes to many people in their lives.

This year, many children have received a lot of valuable 618 gifts and continue to choose digital goodies. Parents and elders will be very pleased and actively share the joy brought by digital treasures with children when they are happy and happy in 618 when they are happy and happy to enjoy the many joys and surprises brought to them by digital treasures, on the one hand, they will also involuntarily review what changes digital treasures have brought us in our lives over the years.

While we were immersed in our memories, we responded to questions from curious children...... Many of the children's questions about digital goodies in 618 are related to our review, our review is not sentimental, and the explanations we make for the children also represent our and the children's expectations and prospects for the continued improvement and bright future of digital goodies.

Nian Shuang, who grew up in Wuqing Nunnery, is a child with a particularly strong sense of curiosity. Recently, her curiosity has obviously focused more on digital goodies, and her good brother Yingping and good sister Nianxia are also like her.

After Nianshuang entered high school, her curiosity about my experience with Lingling (Blue Frost) grew stronger...... As Minggang and Lili's relationship deteriorates further, Yingping and Nianxia become more and more curious about their parents and the experiences of those of us who are parents and elders.

This year, June 18 is also Father's Day. Lili told him about Yingping's life before 618, and Yingping then made the decision to pay homage to his biological parents today - these family events have been clearly known by the people of their family, and Nianshuang naturally knows and will inevitably have a psychological imbalance.

If Nianshuang wanted to use digital treasures to open up a "new situation" to satisfy her and her siblings' curiosity, perhaps she had found a breakthrough...... However, it is unlikely that she will break through from me, it depends on how Lingling, who has been with the Green Lantern Ancient Buddha for many years, and Lili, who is now facing the crisis of marriage breakdown, deal with it - because, for some things, whether to tell Nianshuang, how much to tell her, and when to tell her, Lingling and I and Lili have never agreed, and they don't even have a complete tacit understanding...... Lingling didn't take the initiative to mention it, and Lili and I shouldn't take the initiative to ask her...... But I think it's probably too early to tell Nianshuang now.

Of course, I can tell Nianshuang what changes the digital treasure has brought to me in my life without any reservations - this may be a compromise way to balance the minds of Lingling and Nianshuang, the mother and daughter of master and apprentice.

My close relationship with Lingling and her family began in 1996, when 2G mobile phones and digital products began to prevail.

One, in the summer of 1998, the Motorola phone became the first mobile phone in my life.

In the summer of 1998, I received my acceptance letter from college, and a beautiful Motorola phone became one of the digital gifts my parents gave me to prepare for college, and this Motorola phone became the first mobile phone in my life...... Although there was no 618 in 1998, digital goodies have really become my personal belongings since 1998.

These are the first changes that digital treasures have brought to me in my life.

Two, Lingling started using her phone before me.

After I got this Motorola phone, I quickly called Lingling's house to let Lingling know that I was admitted to college as she wished, and met her for a romantic dance.

During the romantic dance date, I sang "Summer Love" (Cantonese song) for Lingling...... However, the ringing of mobile phones disrupted the singing and dancing steps, and signaled a 13-year hiatus......

The phone that rang turned out to be Lingling's Motorola phone, and her Motorola phone had obviously been used for a long time...... Lingling, who had not yet graduated from high school at the time, was far more familiar with mobile phones and proficient in operating them than I was ready to go to college—I seemed to sense this as a sign at the time......

Although I gave her a promise to marry her and stay with her for the rest of her life after graduating from college, that promise seemed a little too late for her at that time, and more importantly, the four-year wait was almost torturous for her at that time......

Soon after, Lingling's run away from home shocked many people, including me......

However, I didn't blame the phone because I knew it wasn't the phone's fault at all...... Besides, at that time, I didn't care about hating those who cheated on girls and tempted them with money......

If Lingling's request to take her away after I was admitted to college 19 months ago was too dreamy for me as a sophomore in high school, then I still couldn't make a decision after I was admitted to college, which undoubtedly shattered her dream completely......

After Lingling ran away from home, there seemed to be two star threads that still connected her and my two distant hearts—the blue Buddha beads and the mobile phone.

The blue beads were given to me and Lingling in the spring of 1998 by Lili's master, the great monk of Hongfa Temple...... It was only after Lingling ran away from home that I realized the wisdom of the great monk and the true importance of Buddhist jewelry to me and Lingling......

The other star line is the phone, not the Lili......

Before the summer of 2001, Lili was the only person who had direct contact with Lingling, and Lili and Lingling had never met in those three years - the mobile phone was a digital treasure that the two sisters needed to hold on to in order to keep in touch with each other......

In those 3 years, although Lili was the only "middleman" between me and Lingling to send messages to each other, Xingchen Line was a mobile phone.

After Lingling ran away from home, I got into the habit of not turning off my phone 24 hours a day until 2011, when Lingling returned to her family and me.

These are the second changes that digital treasures have brought to me in my life.

Three, a Nokia on the left and a Motorola on the right.

In the summer of 2001, the "Night Market Reunion" at Yantian Seafood Street was just a complete dream for me...... What's even more cruel is that because of this dream, I confirmed that there was only one last star line left connecting me and Lingling, the blue Buddha beads...... Because, Lili and Lingling can't be contacted.

I didn't give in to reality, so the Motorola phone is still something close to me...... However, I still had to face it, so I put my grandfather's Nokia phone to work and added a new number for myself, which has not been deactivated and is still in use today......

The main purpose of the Nokia phone and the new phone number is to both allow me to face reality and keep in touch with Frosty......

Frosty is the woman who gave me the dream of "night market reunion...... As for the question of whether I had been using her as a substitute for Lingling before she left for the distance, I still haven't figured it out.

These are the third changes that digital goodies have brought to me in my life.

Fourth, from 2003, laptops became my semi-intimate digital goodies, until 2006, before Frost said goodbye.

The so-called semi-close-fitting means that in addition to being willing to put it in my own home, my relatives' homes, in the school dormitory during my study abroad, in the house I rented during my study abroad, and in the office after I joined the work, I basically carry it with me, including during business trips, travel, etc., I will not leave the digital treasure of my laptop alone in the hotel.

In 2003, before I went to study in New Zealand, I bought myself a laptop as a digital goodie.

At that time, in addition to mobile phones, QQ was one of the most important remote contact software...... In those days, I would use QQ every day.

At that time, the alumni circle, the circle of classmates, and the circle of friends began to be dominated by the mode of QQ group.

The "Shenzhen Alumni Group" is one of the important QQ groups I follow. The members of each "Shenzhen Alumni Group" include alumni of many universities and secondary schools in Shenzhen, as well as some current students. Due to the large number of alumni in Shenzhen, the "Shenzhen Alumni Group" is subdivided into multiple sequence groups (such as "Shenzhen Alumni Group 1", "Shenzhen Alumni Group 2", "Shenzhen Alumni Group 3", ......"Shenzhen Alumni Group 51", "Shenzhen Alumni Group 52", ...... "Shenzhen Alumni Group 61"...... For example, the "Shenzhen Alumni Group 6" is the most colorful group, and almost every middle school in Shenzhen has alumni in the group......

Of course, I didn't join all the "Shenzhen alumni groups...... I chose some alumni of South No. 1 Middle School, alumni of No. 3 Middle School, and alumni groups with more alumni of the 92nd, 95th, and 96th classes of Information No. 1 Middle School - South No. 1 Middle School is my middle school alma mater, most of the students who were not admitted to the high school of South No. 1 Middle School will go to the high school of No. 3 Middle School to study in high school, Information No. 1 Middle School is the high school alma mater of Lingling and Lili, I went to the first year of junior high school in 92 and the first year of high school in 95, and Lingling and Lili went to high school in 96 - Information No. 1 Middle School is a vocational high school......

I believe many people can see what kind of needs I have when I choose to join the group......

Lili and Lingling are the sister school flowers of Information No. 1 Middle School for two consecutive years in '97 and '98. I don't need to say more about what the school flower represents, and a middle school has the same two girls as the school flower for two consecutive years and the two of them are cousins, these factors undoubtedly add more color to the two of them, therefore, both of them are important people to talk about in which alumni group, and more importantly, the sister flower in the 98 sister school flower of the first middle school dropped out of school after finishing her second year of high school and has no news, which is a topic that makes alumni talk endlessly......

I rarely speak in any group, and I often have very mixed feelings when I browse the information of these QQ groups - some baseless speculation, coaxing, ridicule, cool talk, nonsense, and yin and yang weirdness in the group make me extremely disgusted and even more sad...... However, at the old class reunion after the "Night Market Reunion Dream", I could only leave angrily in the face of people's terrible words, which also made me have to admit that I couldn't change some of the desolation......

Lingling wasn't in any of the alumni groups, and Lili hadn't explained anything to Lingling in any of the alumni groups - I can understand that......

Not getting any valuable information for a long time seems to make it difficult for me to continue to persevere...... Frost also seems to be taking Lingling's place in my heart more and more......

I gradually withdrew from the various alumni groups...... QQ gradually turned into my main bridge of communication with Frosty......

If some things just fade away, maybe it will end up in the end......

However, Shuangshuang often mentioned Lingling in front of me, and intentionally or unintentionally said that she wanted to get Lingling back for me...... I still can't figure out whether Frosty behaved like this because she really loved her so much or because she was unwilling, and I didn't have a chance to ask her now.

These are the fourth changes that Digital Treasure has brought to me in my life.

Fifth, in the five years from 2006 to 2011, when Frost said goodbye to the Frost Incident, digital goodies were crucial to my company.

It's been about 12 years since Frost Frost traveled far away, and since I've been thinking about it for 12 years, I can't figure out why Frost is still there, and I'd rather sacrifice myself to get Lingling back, so when Frost is still by my side, even if she shows some signs, I can't believe that a weak woman has such determination and ability to make the recovery of Lingling a reality.

It wasn't until 2011, at the last critical moment of rescuing Lingling, that I learned that Frost had a twin sister, Lan Lan, and that this strange woman named Lan Lan was quite skilled, and she guarded Frost like a "shadow warrior" most of the time...... In this way, some things can be figured out......

Moreover, I heard that there is a saying that as long as there is one star line that is not broken, the two hearts will be connected forever, and the last star line is the least likely to break...... There seems to be some truth to this statement.

However, in the five years between 2006 and 2011, when Frost said goodbye, I stopped paying attention to my old things when it came to digital goodies...... Frost and Lingling seem to be getting farther and farther away from me......

"You're all the same kind of people!" - This is my "angry" psychology after reading the letter left by Shuangshuang to "justify" her for not saying goodbye......

With these "angers", I stopped being bothered by old things for the next 5 years...... After 2006, laptops were no longer my semi-personal thing...... In 2012, I got my first smartphone in my life, and since then I have used my laptop less.

After Frost said goodbye, I blocked her on QQ...... After I started using WeChat, I used QQ less and less.

All in all, in the five years from 2006 to 2011, I deliberately stopped thinking about Lingling and Frost...... However, I kept in touch with Lili's family......

Lingling's parents are getting older, and their longing for their daughter is getting heavier and heavier...... Especially Lingling's mother, this aunt's indifference after Lingling ran away from home made me feel very cold...... However, when I saw her again years later, I felt that she was often tormented by regrets, which made me sad...... Lingling's own brother Hejun has also grown up...... After Lingling ran away from home, Hejun was influenced more by Lili and Wanjun, and he regretted that he shouldn't have despised his own sister because of his family's favoritism......

In those 5 years, Lili gradually became the woman who supported half the sky in the family...... In many family meetings, she unceremoniously demanded that the family fundamentally change the habit of preference for sons......

I also feel that I have changed a lot in those 5 years, and I feel that I am much more realistic, but I am less heroic......

I don't seem to be thinking about the past anymore, and I feel like I'm about to forget the last starline.

In those 5 years, I used more and more entertainment features on my mobile phone and laptop, watching movies, watching TV series, and playing video games on my laptop......

During those 5 years, digital goodies were very important to my company, so I let go of some things that I should have let go of, and I also accumulated a lot of wealth and knowledge for myself.

These are the fifth changes that Digital Treasure has brought to me in my life.

Sixth, the good integration of digital good things and smart home has given me a lot of care for Lingling, who has returned to me, which has given me a lot of comfort.

In 2011, Lingling finally returned to her family and me...... However, Shuangshuang and Lan Lan have traveled far since then, and Lingling's own physical condition was once worrying......

The tragic experience and heavy price have changed Lingling's temperament a lot, and she is depressed all day long, and even tears are often shed.

Lingling's parents prepared a big new house for her, Lili bought Lingling new and beautiful digital goodies such as smartphones and laptops, and Hejun worried a lot about the whole renovation process......

The removal of living room and smart home make Lingling's new house full of warmth......

Smart lighting can not only protect physical health, but also have the advantages of energy saving, environmental protection and convenience, making people feel intimate, warm and comfortable.

The tragic experience of 13 years is like a nightmare that has left a lingering shadow in Lingling's heart...... She often wakes up in her dreams......

However, the meticulous care and care of smart lighting helped her survive the difficulties, and her body gradually recovered......

The love of digital goods and smart lighting is the greatest comfort to me, and I feel very happy to see her reunited with her family and get along harmoniously.

Therefore, I am grateful to Frost and Lanlan, and also to the perfect integration of digital goodies and smart homes.

These are the sixth changes that digital goodies have brought to me in my life.

Seven, smartphones came into my life.

Lingling, whose body was gradually recovering, increasingly revealed some surprising thoughts again.

When Hejun was actively arranging digital goodies and smart homes for Lingling's new house, he felt that Lingling seemed to have some "strange" thoughts.

Hejun was worried that asking questions bluntly would irritate Lingling, so he came to me to discuss with Lili......

It seems that Lili (Lu Ying) understood Lingling's mind faster than I did—she asked me if I remembered my visit to Hongfa Temple in the spring of 1998 and some of the words that her master, the Grand Monk of Hongfa Temple, said to me and Lingling, and the blue Buddha beads......

I was lost in thought...... Of course, I remember that the great monk of Hongfa Temple said that Lingling was related to Buddhism, and that although Lingling had lost a lot in the 13 years she was in the abyss of suffering, the blue Buddha beads were still intact...... Also, in the 5 years that Frost and Lan Lan rescued Lingling, although Lingling didn't explain too many details to us, I realized that Lingling, Frost and Lan Lan had been dependent on each other for a long time...... Frost and Lan Lan's mother had been cultivating for many years before her death...... Although Frost and Lan Lan rarely saw her after their mother went to Qingxiu, it is likely that they had mentioned it to Lingling about their mother's Qingxiu......

Thinking of this, I don't know what it feels like, I just feel that if Lingling really wants to go to Qing Xiu, it is completely different from 13 years ago, and we don't have any good reason to dissuade her......

I decided to have a good conversation with Lingling......

While communicating with Lingling, we relived the old dream of the romantic dance...... I realized Lingling's desire to "atone for her sins" with Qing Xiu, so it seemed that it would be difficult to change her decision......

The "Last Promise" made me feel like it wasn't as simple as it seemed......

After Lingling fulfilled all her wishes, she began her life of cultivation and has been living until today.

She brought a blue bead and a smartphone...... As she was leaving, she said to me again, "Don't forget that the blue beads are treasures that belong to you and me......

Although I was very reluctant, I also seemed to feel a faint sense of relief - maybe this was a better place for her......

In any case, as long as she is safe, I will be relieved.

In 2012, I got my first smartphone – the ZTE smartphone.

In 2015, I got a Huawei smartphone again.

In 2016, the HONOR smartphone came into my life again.

Digital goodies like smartphones have come into my life, making my life better and more exciting.

These are the seventh changes that digital goodies have brought to me in my life.

Eighth, the smart wireless microphone allows me to give my singing voice to more people.

I have loved music since I was a child, and I fell in love with singing even more when I was in the sixth grade.

I also sang on stage in the inter-school student cadre friendship activities where I met Lingling and Lili.

During my time as a part-time singer, my understanding of music went beyond the narrow sense, for example, it was a blessing to be invited to sing for children.

In October 2019, I downloaded the WeSing app on my HONOR smartphone and started singing and posting songs online. Of course, these days, my online singing is just one of my entertainment. By publishing songs online, you can share the joy of music with more people.

In October 2019, I released "Summer Love" (Cantonese song). In 1998, I sang this song for Lingling on a date with Romantic Dance.

In 2020, I got a digital goodie, a smart wireless microphone.

The smart wireless microphone has both the function of an ordinary microphone and the function of listening to songs, which is equivalent to a small speaker or a large MP3, that is to say, the smart wireless microphone is a combination of an ordinary microphone and a small speaker (or large MP3).

Under the same conditions, singing with a microphone will be better than singing without a microphone, especially the effect of singing a strong song.

A smart wireless microphone can also bring convenience to singing.

In May 2021, I sang and released the powerful song "Not Drunk Midnight" (Cantonese song) ......" with a smart microphone...... I'm deeply drunk, watching you dance, the world seems to be beautiful, gradually getting better......" lyrics represent my heart to a certain extent - Lingling is good at dancing, and was half a dancer...... She also taught me to dance, including at the Inter-School Student Cadre Ball where she and I met and during the 1998 Romantic Dance date...... Appreciating Lingling's dancing really intoxicated me.

In addition, "Shanghai Beach" (Cantonese song), "999 Roses" (Chinese song), "Blue Street Light" (Cantonese song), "Wrong or Right" (Cantonese song), "Love Shadow Drama" (Cantonese song), "Afterlife" (Chinese song) and so on are all songs that Lingling likes.

These are the eighth changes that Digital Treasure has brought to me in my life.

Nine, digital goodies brought us infinite happiness when I accompanied my baby girl to read frost.

The first time I met Nianshuang was in Wuqingan, when she was quite young. The name "Nianshuang" was chosen for her by Lingling...... Lingling's scientific name "Blue Frost" was given to her by me - "Huan Shou's scientific name" is one of the beautiful moments when Lingling and I danced for the first time...... Frost also has the word "frost" in its name...... You can realize that the name "Nianshuang" represents what kind of mind Lingling has.

The second time I met Nianshuang was when she came to Shenzhen for the first time to visit us...... The baby girl has grown up, young and slim, especially like Lingling......

Since then, Nianshuang has basically maintained the habit of coming to Shenzhen every holiday - Lingling basically agrees with this model.

Lingling asked Nianshuang to come and see us, with a lot of intentions...... But in any case, Nianshuang has brought us a lot of joy, a lot of happiness, and a lot of comfort to me.

During this time, we have prepared many digital treasures for the baby girl, including smartphones, Bluetooth headsets, digital cameras, digital learning machines, laptops, MP3s, etc., we accompany her to use smartphones, accompany her to watch movies on laptops, and accompany her to take pictures with digital cameras...... We hope to take good care of and love this baby girl, so that she can live a peaceful, happy and happy life, and will never let her follow in Lingling's footsteps.

Today, in 2023's "618", Nianshuang has gained a lot of satisfactory digital goodies, and I hope that my responses and answers to her questions and curiosities about digital treasures can satisfy her.

These are the ninth changes that Digital Treasure has brought to me in my life.

Therefore, the treasures of the stars have brought me a lot of changes in my life.
