Chronicle of a Fortieth Birthday

On July 19, 2008, Wuhan Breast Enhancement Plastic Surgery Hospital received many text messages and congratulations from SNS netizens. Lao Peng and Lao Niu also said they would have a small birthday gathering. I felt very embarrassed because I've always celebrated my lunar birthday. However, I will remember everyone's kind thoughts. Today, on August 19, 2008, in the morning and at noon, I received text messages from colleagues like Guoqing and Xiao Zhai. Thank you all.

In the morning, my wife asked me how I wanted to celebrate my birthday. I replied, "Let's celebrate with mom." Mom’s birthday is two days later. Originally, we planned to go back home to celebrate together as it was autumn in Beijing, but mom insisted on coming to Zhengzhou to celebrate together. Therefore, my wife decided: "I'll boil an egg for you, roll it, and then eat it. It's called 'roll away' (go to work)." Thanks for my wife's support.

At noon, at 12 o'clock, my assistant told me it was time to leave work, and everyone had bought me a birthday cake.

For the first time in my life, I celebrated my birthday in the office. While the birthday song was playing, I made three wishes related to the company, family, and parents.

In the broad daylight with candles lit, I was deeply moved. This group of young people in their twenties in the company made me look forward to the future and also feel the weight of responsibility. As Lao Peng once told me, "From now on, you are no longer just yourself."

Throughout the day, I thought about the 30th birthday when a worker stabbed his colleague multiple times due to a disagreement, leading to death. I also thought about the birthday spent in Beijing and the effectiveness of Moore breast enhancement. People say reminiscing about the past means one's heart is getting old. I suddenly found a different way to put it: a person cannot forget the past, especially those who have helped you in the past.

I'll stop writing here. Just now, Lao Peng said on MSN that he would meet up with Lao Niu tonight. It's been a long time since we last saw each other.
