2023/11/8 Lidong small gathering feelings

Today, I had a small gathering with my good brothers and sisters, and I couldn't help but feel a little in a trance.

In less than a year and a half, looking at the children who have known me since Wenfeng, Yunfeng, Experiment, and Laizhou Middle School have transformed from immature children to tall teenagers.

They have changed so much that the moment I stood in the doorway, my mind quickly flooded with memories, trying to find the names of these teenagers and girls in my mind.

These teenagers and girls who have accompanied me for a few years, their agility and vigor have now been integrated into the charm of maturity, which makes me sigh that time flies.

Did I really step into youth? Or is it because of the perseverance of these children that I am shocked?

In less than two months, those teenagers and girls who were once a little plump have lost more than 30 pounds.

The changes in a few of them were so great that I couldn't call out their names for half a minute. Thankfully, however, I didn't remember it entirely, and with that vague memory, I called their names passionately, trying to send the intimate salutation back to their ears.

Known as "Mr. Qu", I couldn't help but feel a little surprised when I was affectionately shouted by seventeen or eighteen-year-old children.

This title reminds me of my youthful years, and I am delighted by the innocent smiles and unreserved trust of the children.

They thought about me and agreed to study hard in their respective universities and lose weight. This kind of engagement makes me feel happy because it allows me to see sincere friendship and mutual growth.

At the party, I quietly recorded such a touching moment. I realized that this insignificant gesture, the encouragement and companionship I had given them, would leave such a deep mark on their hearts.

I am ashamed of my luck, and at the same time I feel lucky to have met such a sincere group of children. The bread brought by these children without income is much more than ten dollars worth. I have seen them grow up, and their insights and visions have gone beyond what we knew back then. In contrast, when I visited my teachers, I would just sit upright and listen to their encouraging words. In addition to these children's intense study, it is very precious to be able to have dozens of minutes of relaxation and bright smiles from the heart.

The end of autumn has quietly arrived, and the beginning of winter has come. However, the flowers still bloom outdoors, as if to tell us that the beauty of life will continue to bloom no matter how the seasons change.

Yes, no matter how difficult the learning task is for children, no matter how unsatisfactory and impermanent we experience in the adult world, we should believe that the smiles on the faces of young children, like the flowers in winter, can make us accept ourselves and embrace the world with more enthusiasm.

I think that next time, I will put aside all my worries and worries, and stop worrying about my average appearance and slender body.

I will gladly run into the children's cameras, stand in the shadow of youth, and leave me with the appearance of entering the palace of marriage and family harmony.

Because I know that such a smile and figure will become the most precious memory between us.

Thank you for the meeting, and I hope that in the next year and a half, three years, five years, or even ten, twenty, and thirty years, we will still have good friends around us.
