2022, goodbye, this year, it is really not easy to say I love you.
2022 seems to be an extremely long year, and it is also a year that is difficult to describe in words.
For people in small southern towns, the first half of the year has become the " plum rains " season. Months of continuous rain seem to make people feel wet.
The second half of the year became the "dry season". For several months, the sky was clear and the sun was shining brightly. The beauty was beautiful, but the suffering was also really bitter.
In my mother’s vegetable garden, in order to grow vegetables in season, watering twice a day, morning and evening, is essential. It also makes us feel more grateful when we taste every fresh vegetable.
It turns out that whether it is good or bad, if nothing changes, it will really drive people crazy. Therefore, the four seasons cycle, with the softness of spring, the warmth of summer, the mellowness of autumn, and the harshness of winter. Only during the transition of seasons can people feel the vitality and tension of life.
At the end of the year, this relatively magical year was about to return to normal and come to an end. However, under the optimization of epidemic prevention and control, we accidentally bumped into the new coronavirus. With a fever and cough, we waved goodbye to 2022.
When an individual's destiny overlaps with that of the era, and when an individual's situation becomes a part of the background of the entire era, it becomes more and more clear that life is a contradictory complex of luck and misfortune.
People are always trying their best to live out themselves, but they must rely on social groups to gain a foothold.
In this year, ordinary people like you and me, like most workers, have been working hard to achieve the goals set at the beginning of the year. Even if we encounter various emergencies along the way, even if we have a brief period of frustration, we have never thought of giving up.
The good news of "getting three to five dollars more" is still exciting, even though it does not belong to you; the regrets of failed success are easier for people to empathize with.
Fortunately, this year, all the unhappiness, unwillingness, reluctance and bad luck will become a thing of the past.
2022, really wants to say goodbye to us.
Hello, 2023, everything is a new beginning, pregnant with infinite hope.
Year after year, the once ignorant young people have become middle-aged people, older and younger. In this world of fireworks, they get up early and stay dark for "a few taels of broken silver" and shed endless sweat for the dreams in their hearts.
Perhaps, many of us have been ordinary workers throughout our lives, receiving moderate wages, doing work that does not seem easy in the eyes of others, and shouldering responsibilities that do not match our own abilities.
We always move forward, panicking all the way, and sometimes even confused: "Where should we go tomorrow?"
We are already used to it. When we fall, we get up, dust off the dust, bandage the wounds, wipe away the tears, and continue on the road. Just because there are people around you who need to rely on you, but the people you can rely on have nothing.
When time comes to the junction of the old year and the new year, it seems to give people a short opportunity to relax.
Just like in the TV series " Downton Abbey ", the last episode of each season is the "Christmas Special". On the day of the New Year, the servants downstairs can enjoy a half-day holiday without having to serve the masters upstairs. They can also dance with the masters and toast together to welcome the arrival of the New Year.
Perhaps, after the short-term joy of celebrating the New Year, life returns to busyness and ordinaryness, but it is that short-term relaxation that can wash away people's physical and mental fatigue, so that they can accumulate strength and show off their talents in the coming year.
Writer Liang Xiaosheng once wrote: "From the moment you are born, what bowl you serve, what rice you eat, who you love, and what you will experience in your life are all determined. Don't be too hard on yourself, just let nature take its course. You have already seen the script of life in heaven. The reason why you chose this script is because there is something in this life that you think is worthwhile.""
Therefore, when 2023 comes towards people, say "Happy New Year" to yourself! Everything is a new beginning, everything breeds new hope, work hard, time will pay off.
Come on, 2023, your destiny is in your own hands. The harder you work, the happier you will be.
The Northern Song Dynasty writer and politician Wang Anshi has a popular poem "Yuan Ri": "The sound of firecrackers eliminates one year, and the spring breeze brings warmth to Tusu. Thousands of households always replace old talismans with new peaches. "
At that time, he was being entrusted with important tasks, starting the reform, and his career entered a new chapter. Facing everything new, when the Yuan Dynasty returned, he was also full of longing, looking forward to the "new peach" to replace the "old charm".
In the days that followed, the reform struggled to advance amidst many obstacles, and he was dismissed because of it. He devoted himself to helping the world. The great ambition did not come true, but those years of struggle have become the history of the ages, and have written a rich and colorful mark in history.
In this life, the most ordinary people also have the humblest dreams.
Just like the small town girl Alice in the movie " Brooklyn ". To make a living, she left her hometown and went to a prosperous foreign country. There, she worked as a shop assistant, went to night school, and made a boyfriend. Things she had never dared to think about before, after having the courage to start and the perseverance to persist, they all changed her destiny little by little.
She got rid of the dilemma of not being able to find a job, and because of her excellent grades, she got a white-collar job as she wished. Although her boyfriend is not rich, he is sincere, kind and diligent. They are full of longing for the future and are willing to make all efforts for it.
Finally, after experiencing inner struggle and consideration, Alice decided to leave her hometown completely and start a new life journey with her beloved.
I like the last line of the video very much:
The sun will rise one day, but you may not even notice it because it is so weak. Then you will start to care about some people and things that have nothing to do with the past, care about someone who only belongs to you. Then you will understand that this place of peace is my hometown.
In fact, those who are confused and at a loss need this kind of understanding, calm down and calm down, so that they can fly against the wind no matter where they are.

As a poet said: We need some sense of ritual to resist the mediocrity of life.
On the occasion of 2023, give yourself a hug, give your family a smile, and give expectations for the future. In the new year, the days will surely become more prosperous and smoother.
