Missing my classmates is a wisp of nostalgia

Author-Yuting

Missing my classmates this time started when I returned home. A few days later, I walked into the office and started working again. Alone in the house, everything is quiet except for a few phone rings. After hurriedly handling a few things, he sat there quietly in a daze. Open the window, it's warm outside, look at the clouds floating in the blue sky, and hear a few birdsong, which brings you the slightest affection. Thinking of the gathering of old classmates a few days ago; the excitement when the classmates first met; looking at the moon and stars and chatting in the cool mountainous area at night; thinking of drinking, raising the glass with emotion, and the warm atmosphere of drinking and singing ; Climbing mountains together, pedaling in the lake of the Great Water Wall... Thinking of these scenes, thinking of my classmates, I felt sad, but I couldn't hold it back, and the tears flowed down, flowing... ..

Some people say that the older a person is, the deeper he will be nostalgic for certain things, the easier it is to be sentimental, and the more unforgettable past events that touch his heart are. This makes sense.

The feelings of classmates are formed before going out into the society. There are few pure emotions mixed with dust. Campus, classroom, canteen, teachers, students, the sound of reading loudly, in the same dormitory building , in the same cafeteria, after a long time, everyone has feelings, like a big family, this environment has become a hometown. People often regard their place of birth as their hometown. In fact, in a long life, there is more than one hometown. In today's world where social ties are thinner than paper, the friendship between classmates is very precious. The green hills are here, the heart is not old, the friendship between classmates is strong, the years are increasing, the water is flowing, and the feelings are still the same. Missing classmates is also a wisp of nostalgia.

The old classmates discussed and gathered in Changping District, Beijing from May 5th to 8th, 2017. Previously, we had gatherings at Yanshan University in Qinhuangdao, Fulalji and Harbin. After the date was set, everyone was looking forward to it in the WeChat group. Writer Zhu Ziqing wrote in an essay "Spring": "Looking forward, looking forward, the east wind is coming, the footsteps of spring are near." The students also look forward to spring, and the day when everyone gets together has arrived.

May 5th is also the tenth day of April in the lunar calendar, which is the day of the Beginning of Summer. The gathering place was at the Jundu Hotel in Changping District, Beijing, which was still some distance from the downtown area. The mountains in the distance are undulating, and the endless green gauze tents cover the mountain village. On the hillside, the blue air seems to flow in ripples among the mountains. On the first day of the gathering, summer has arrived and the season of full life has begun. The students' mood is like this season - summer.

By about one o'clock in the afternoon, the students had all arrived. The moment they met, everyone hugged each other and were very excited. After lunch, they started taking photos.

There were twenty people attending the class reunion, which was quite a large scale. These people are heading towards their seventies, some are over seventy, and the highest is seventy-five, but the classmates are all in good spirits. The oldest classmate is Gong Zhanlin who came all the way from Qiqihar to Beijing with his wife, and He Wenxin rushed to Beijing from Shanghai. This generation has experienced wasted years and all kinds of mental torture. The fate of the passionate young people back then may seem incomprehensible and incomprehensible to people today, as if they were a world away.

Dinner begins. The classmates have not seen each other for a long time. Now that they finally meet, they will naturally feel cordial and happy. The expression is drink, drink. Before drinking, everyone stood up and raised their glasses and happily took photos. During the dinner, everyone talked about everything, reminiscing about the past, looking at today, talking about life after retirement, talking about family, enjoying the five flavors of food and drinking for three rounds. They were intoxicated and filled with emotions. Some people have just sent their grandchildren to kindergarten, welcomed their second grandchild, and continue to embark on the long journey of being a "nanny" for their second child, a nanny, and continuing to be a "filial son and virtuous grandson." Poor parents in the world, Chinese parent culture is very different from Western parent culture. Today, when students gather together, some of them seem to have walked out of a big wall, feeling free, relaxed, and enjoying the happiness of the world.

According to the schedule, the next day, we will visit Beijing Mangshan Deep Forest Park. Beijing Mangshan Forest Park is the largest forest park in Beijing, with the highest peak at 659 meters. It is named Mangshan because the mountains are undulating like a giant python. There are vast forest vegetation and unique natural landscapes.

On the third day, the students pedaled up the Great Water Wall with great interest. The Great Water Wall is located in Jiuduhe Town, Huairou District, Beijing. The lake naturally disconnects three sections of the Great Wall, forming a unique landscape in which the Great Wall is played in the water and the ancient city walls are covered by water. The scenery outside the fortress, Jiangnan wind, green mountains and lush green water. We sailed through the beautiful mountains, clear waters, ancient trees, and the Great Wall, leaving the scenery in the hearts of our classmates on this beautiful Great Wall.

On this day of swimming the Great Wall, there was a touching scene among the students. It was not a beautiful legend, but a realistic and beautiful story. A pair of male and female old classmates were walking hand in hand in the mountains. What a happy scene. The author captured a moment. They were classmates. Maybe forty years ago, they had a secret love or a first love. Although they did not get married, no one has forgotten the original "emotion" and has always cherished the nostalgia. Forty years later, we relived the friendship on the Great Water Wall. The friendship was harmonious and the friendship was deep. Love is indeed eternal.

The evening of May 7th is the last reunion dinner for the classmates. Tomorrow they will go their separate ways and return to their own places and living conditions. It is inevitable for everyone to part ways. , a little sentimental, this round of meals and this round of wine is a farewell, different from when I first came here, I am not so enthusiastic about drinking, but more of an expression of farewell and cherishing each other. There is no banquet in the world that lasts forever. The poem "A Dream of Red Mansions" buries flowers: "The flowers fall when the water flows, and the spring is over. The flowers wither when the water flows." The years are ruthless, time flies like an arrow, and the brilliance of life is burned into the depths of our memories.

The party is over, and the students are still chatting freely in the WeChat group. Yin Yifan wrote a poem in WeChat: It is called the most beautiful sunset love, and only the true feelings of classmates appear. Mangshan joins hands in this life, and we are fortunate to meet at the foot of the imperial mausoleum. Thousands of troops marched against the Great Water Wall in exchange for a peninsula that could be used by boat. I said goodbye this morning but have never returned. I look forward to seeing you in Malé tomorrow summer. Zhao Dianlou continues Yifan's rhyme poem: Time flies and we are approaching old age. We meet and gather friends in the capital. Looking back on the past has endless joy. My heart is happy and I can swim in beautiful rivers and mountains. We are not far away when we say goodbye now.

Yes, class reunion is a happy experience and happy time in life. Missing my classmates is a wisp of nostalgia.
