Over these years, in the course of year after year, I have let down many things and many people. Later on, I realized that, in fact, I have let down myself. In 2013, I decided to try my best to do a few of these things well.
In the spring, I will go to see a river.
I live in a city by a river. Over so many years, through storms and rains, I have always sincerely accepted my fate. But there is a block in my heart, and the river soon helps to dissolve that block, washing it into river sand, sinking into the riverbed.
This spring, I want to sit by the river and look at it properly. I imagine the fate of every drop of water in the river, its journey from the sky to the underground, which is not simpler than the path a person walks. How many tiny streams converge to form such a river? So, when a person sighs over the hardships and trials in life, by the river, it is at most the fate of one drop of water. I will sit by the spring river and have heart-to-heart talks with myself, accepting the baptism of the vast spring water. Whether I can make my life be like water, supremely kind, vast and magnificent, depends on how deep my connection with a river really is.
Let me say to my family: I love you.
I realize that my family and I seem to have become somewhat distant. For many years, I have increasingly sat silently by their side. When they start nagging, I often lose patience and get up to leave. Yet now I have become a grown man who loves to nag in front of my child. I understand that love is continuously remembering and caring; once it takes root in the heart, there comes the nagging. Mom and Dad, although sometimes I have small complaints about life, behind my smile there is still weariness and sorrow. But my essence of life is love, such as the blood still boiling in my veins. My family grows older day by day, and in fact, they are always taking me along, ultimately moving toward a certain direction. In this life, we are family; where we are in the next life, who knows. This year, I will be around you more and listen to your nagging. And if one day, the silent me stands up, suddenly hugs you, and can't help but say: "I love you!" please don't panic. Actually, it has been a long time, I just haven't said it out of shyness.In 2013, I want to say, cherish your relatives and friends, for example, the brothers we have at Qitan. I want to say, brothers exist because of 7723, with love, quality, and dreams, our 7723!
