Use a grateful heart to write life, use words of thanks to record life, use a sentimental heart to taste life, use moving emotions to touch life, use perceptive thoughts to thank life, use feelings of awe to thank life. Life itself is a kind of beauty; happiness is because of you and me. On Thanksgiving Day, I wish Idle Talk Zero Snacks - snacks, by definition, are零碎foods outside of the three daily meals. This morning, Beijing's suburbs finally saw this winter's first thin fog-like light snow, reminding me that the seasonal climate has arrived: [Light Snow Solar Term] Rain meets cold, turning into snowflakes. Rain first condenses into snow pellets, which form tiny particles. These snow pellets become 'fei' (flying snow), fluttering and spreading as light snow. Bai Juyi's poem says: 'As night deepens and fire fades, snowflakes fall white,' derived from the interpretation of 'snow' as 'sui' (peace). Sui means peace; feifei suisu, the world becomes still, highlighting the noise of human voices. Interpreting 'snow' as 'chu' (remove), leading to 'xi' (wash), Zhuangzi extends its use to 'bathing in snow for spiritual clarity.' Quoted from 'Sanlian Life Weekly.' My son's school bus. Since the first grade of elementary school, my son attended a former ministry-affiliated school. Every Sunday evening, he would take the shuttle bus at a designated location, returning on Friday afternoon. This cycle of boarding school continued for nine years until high school when he returned home for study. One snowy Sunday evening during middle school, he proactively called a classmate, asking him to save a seat if he arrived first. After dinner, after tidying up, we sent him off to catch the shuttle bus. In fact, we arrived earlier that day, so he directly boarded the bus and sat down. Shortly after, his classmate arrived, telling him he was on the second bus and inviting him over, but my son waved his hand indicating he wouldn't go. The shuttle bus slowly departed, and he waved goodbye with his usual characteristic smile. Childhood tricycle. Recently, the Gansu school bus incident once again tested the tolerance limit of the public. Such reckless disregard for human lives is known to all, and I even believe that such tragedies may not be completely eradicated. Amidst the collective outrage and criticism, I recalled the tricycles used for kindergarten trips in my childhood and remembered Master Zhao who picked me up every day. When I was young, I attended the Second Kindergarten of Beijing, a public kindergarten located in the western part of Gan Yu Alley in Dongcheng District, with Wangfujing Cathedral to the north. Our home was in Shi Family Alley, just across the street diagonally to the kindergarten. However, for safety reasons, the task of picking up and dropping off children was handled by the masters of the Dongcheng District Children's Tricycle Cooperative. Making mud bricks. Winter came as expected, golden ginkgo leaves fell, and it was really getting cold. Last night, light rain began to drizzle, making me recall 1969. That year's winter, my older brother went to the countryside in Shaanxi, my father went to the Wuchang Cadre School in Hubei, and my mother also worked on the school farm. Only Grandma and I were left at home, enduring the cold winter in Zhangjiakou. After winter set in, every household had to purchase limited amounts of coal lumps and coal powder... (Reprint) Restoring Mandarin Today, I read an article introducing Mr. Zhang Lixian's 'Library' team, which organized the reissue of old line-bound textbooks (published in 1912). Especially after reading the following passage, I felt deeply moved by its concise summary of the characteristics of these old textbooks. I specially reprinted it here for everyone to study together. Perhaps after reading, you will also have something to say! During the Republican era, despite war and chaos, education continued without interruption. There was belief above and common knowledge below, with primary school textbooks embodying both. Interesting sculptures. Honglingjin Park is located in the northeast corner of Honglingjin Bridge on Beijing's Fourth Ring Road East, a park themed around youth education. It covers 44 hectares, with 16 hectares of water surface. Admission-free, people enter in droves every early morning for their daily exercise, creating quite a lively scene. Although it's a base for youth education, what it's most famous for is the annual Twin Festival, where twins and triplets from all over the country gather. The park becomes crowded with people attending the gathering or just joining in the fun. This autumn's weather has been good, so I wandered here out of interest and noticed many sculptures in the park, mainly featuring youthful heroes—characters familiar to those of us born in the 1940s and 50s. These characters accompanied our growth and even profoundly influenced us. Although these sculptures stand in various corners of the park, I'm not sure how much impact they have on today's children. Even the story of Sima Guang breaking the vat might only be remembered by people who watched the skit performed by Hou Yaowen and Zhao Lirong. Do you recognize any of the figures in the photos? Picture Fun (8): Could you have thought of these creative ideas? Recently, my brother's classmates resonated with the article 'Autumn Colors Remain', composing poems that deeply moved me. Inspired, I boldly joined in with a rhyming couplet to add some cheer, now sharing several of their excellent works along with my humble attempts, writing another piece to express gratitude!
