The older I get, the less I want to celebrate birthdays. Time flies so fast. Ten to eight years is just a matter of fingers. No matter how carefully you take care of yourself, time will still leave shocking traces on your face and body, such as fat, eye bags, gray hair, and wrink

When I was a child, I lived in poverty, and I was always happy on my birthday. On this day, I could get special love and care from my family. Even if I got into trouble, I could be forgiven and forgiven. More importantly, I could have a good meal to eat. Teeth Festival. The older I get, the less I want to celebrate birthdays. Time flies so fast. Ten to eight years is just a matter of fingers. No matter how carefully you take care of yourself, time will still leave shocking traces on your face and body, such as fat, eye bags, gray hair, and wrinkles. There are only white hairs in the fair world, but no hair is spared on the heads of noble people. Therefore, people, especially women, are always reluctant and fearful.

In a country where men dominate the discourse and the consciousness of male superiority and female inferiority is deep-rooted, as a woman, life will always encounter more difficulties and always bear more burdens than men. Xiao Hong, a talented woman from the Republic of China, wrote a poem: The sky for women is low/the wings are thin/and the burdens around them are heavy! / And how annoying / Women have too much self-sacrifice /... Yes, I want to fly / But at the same time I feel... / I will fall. This is the unwilling sigh of a woman who died young at the wrong time.

And today I can only be grateful. If I could go back in time and be born more than a hundred years ago, I would be forced to give birth to a lot of children. When I get up early in the morning, I would have to ask my parents-in-law to carry a urinal. If I was domestically abused, there would be no Women's Federation to support me. Now I can receive higher education and soak up the fragrance of books; go out to work and realize the value of life; create wealth and have the confidence to be on an equal footing with men. Therefore, I am sincerely grateful that I have shared the dividends brought by the development and social progress of the times.

I am grateful that I was born into a family that is not rich but has a lot of love. My mother is hardworking and kind, and my father is warm and funny. Coming from a poor family but rich in love, my parents always gave me the best within their capabilities, from material to spiritual. Whenever I think of the home I have lived in for more than 20 years, I always feel warm in my heart. After getting good grades, sitting on the big bars of my father's blue "Forever" bicycle and walking all the way through the green fields and villages to see the color version of "Journey to the West " was the happiest thing in my childhood memory. This was a special reward from my father. Now, when I think of the word "home", a picture always comes to mind: a night without electricity, a smoky kitchen, a lamp like a bean, the sound of the bellows is unhurried, the firelight reflects the mother's peaceful face, the steam rises from the pot lid, and the fragrance of the food overflows. My sister and I were like lazy cats curled up in our father's arms, everything was so peaceful and quiet. Let me understand that love is like a slow stream, and time has its own profound meaning. A loving and happy family made me optimistic and positive about life, humanity and marriage when I grew up.

I am grateful to my parents for allowing me to receive higher education. When I was in middle school, every year during the school season, there were always girls who dropped out of school, got married early, or went out to work to supplement their family income. We cannot blame the farmers for being short-sighted. The road to school is too long and bumpy, and the benefits will not be seen immediately. Under the influence of the general environment, girls are easily wavered and hesitant, and few persist to the end. My literate father always believed in a simple truth: learning more knowledge is always useful. He respected knowledge throughout his life and firmly believed that knowledge can change destiny. After working for many years, I wanted to change my destiny. Later, I successfully passed the postgraduate entrance examination. After a short period of joy, I calculated the high expenses in the next three years and wanted to give up. My father said: Go ahead and go to school. If you can’t afford the tuition, I will pay for it. At that time, I was already married and became a mother. This sentence gave me great courage. In the darkest moments of my life, I always had my parents to support me.

I am grateful that I found someone who is willing to spend a lifetime together through the oldest method of matchmaking. It turns out that in the boundless wilderness of time, there is no one step too early or one step too late. There is really such a person waiting for you. In the past twenty years, we have gone hand in hand through poverty, hardships, ups and downs, and the passion has subsided, and it has turned into a sincere loyalty, a tacit understanding of perseverance, and unforgettable kindness. Everything has to be fast or it will be too late. In this age where people are impetuous, it is cool to love only one person in your life.

I am grateful that I am doing the job I love.How many people in this world are doing jobs they don't like, like old-style marriages, where they obviously don't like it but still stay entangled in it for a lifetime. Some people fish all day long and manage to retire, thinking they have taken advantage of it. Don’t expect to have more money, less things to do, and be close to home. Being able to combine your interests and work is already a great blessing. I like the green shade and the chirping of cicadas on campus, and I like to listen to the long bell ringing after class. When I first started working, I really didn’t know the use of carefully correcting every essay, the use of putting my heart and soul into the students, the use of persisting in reading and writing, and the use of carefully teaching each class. I just did it with my conscience. Some rewards are not so immediate, but some efforts will definitely come back to you in another way. Nowadays, whenever I travel or go on a business trip, I still like to go to the local campus to see the bright and tall white poplars and the energetic young faces. My blood flows quickly and I am full of expectations and dreams for the future.

The world has been very good to you, but you always feel that it should be better. God has treated you well, but you always ask for more. Like the old woman in "The Story of the Fisherman and the Goldfish ", her desires were insatiable. In the end, the prosperity and wealth were like smoke, and only the lonely old wooden basin was left in front of her. Many people are not unhappy, but greed has robbed us of our happiness. Strive for what you want and cherish what you have, and your happiness will be much stronger.

Even in my forties, I have only seen a little bit of this world. The moon is white, the wind is clear, the mountains are long and the water is wide, and I am still very interested in the world. Even if life gives me endless pain and torture, I still feel more happy.

Li Yinhe said that what makes a happy life is: first, physical comfort, and second, mental joy. I deeply agree. Take good care of your body and settle your mind, and you will be happy. No matter how old you are, long live happiness and happy birthday.
