Class reunion, an inner drama of self-competition
All we can't overcome is the hurdle of self-esteem
How could friends in the old days forget each other, so there was a class reunion; how could old people lose face when they reunite, so there was a show of wealth and show off their children. I once imagined the reunion after many years, gentlemen and ladies were affectionate and respected each other... Unexpectedly, we made an appointment with a five-star hotel, drove a sports car, and brought a secretary, but the situation was not enough to fight with wine. At the class reunion, it was not all about flashy nothingness. It also included the love between classmates and endless memories of the beautiful past. But he had a self-esteem and "a big fight" that was a mess.
Classmate reunion became a live competition show
Before graduation, we always had an emotional agreement - several years later, the original class will reunite. While looking forward to the future together, everyone makes innocent wishes belonging to that era, as sang repeatedly in "Tiny Times": "Long live friendship and drink with you, sing praises at the same time, friendship will last forever." However, sometimes, the beautiful promises of life are often accidentally scattered by reality, so the song also paves the way "We have also experienced hardships and wandered around."
Time sent the child to the class beauty of that year; let the boy who once sat in the last row drive into the sports car; took away the strong figure of the sports committee member; but lost the belly of the fat man in the next class... And in a group chat one day, "Do you still remember our original agreement?", the chat box started to organize a class reunion. The time and place of the party came as promised, and people with a successful career and family went happily; some people who were unsatisfied in their lives, but they were still worried or refused to go; some people were in a foreign country, and they were either hurriedly arranged their itineraries or looked at their graduation photos with sadness.
The original intention of class reunion is to gather together and recall, hoping that the beauty of the past will remain, the grudges of the past will be eliminated, and that we will also care more about each other's current situation. Who would have thought that life put a layer of secular color on the innocence of that year. Whether it is good or bad, it becomes a ticket to the class reunion. More and more people are beginning to care about what car to drive, how to introduce their husbands, and whether to take care of their children... The feelings of youth also surged in my heart, "I must be proud of the person who looked down on me back then." "I used to be a top student, and now I can't make a worse time than others." "The person I hate doesn't know how it is now." So, money, status, husband and children became the confidence to make an appointment. As long as there is one that can prevail, the significance of this class reunion will be fulfilled.
The table is drinking and having fun, and the undercurrent is surging under the table. When toasting and picking up food, the person who is silently muttering in his heart can't help but glance at him more. If a classmate is successful and comes as a director or a boss, he will definitely become the object of toasting and praising everyone. "My child is about to go to elementary school, please take care of him." "Oh, this business is good, we will cooperate more if we have the opportunity." There are always people who think that it’s better not to compete with them, and they must not let go of the matter of accumulating connections. Gradually, the class reunion evolved into a show time for a group of the most familiar strangers. I am afraid that the plot of speaking the truth will only be after drinking.
Classmate Reunion OS
The appearance of classmate reunion in real life is no less than in movies and TV dramas. There are eloquent struggles that are comparable to palace fighting scenes and are better than sales, and there are also embarrassing and unhappy situations brought about by time. At the class reunion with a lot of inner drama, it is said that it is not just about feelings, but also about the face that everyone cares about.
Annoying person is present
Who has not had many love rivals when he was young, plus his best friend who broke up, gay friends who have fought, and a few innocent friends who simply disliked him. On the blacklist of class reunion, there is a long list of them with ease. With the mentality of "I won't see you again anyway", I heard from my friend that "I'm here too," and my mood suddenly became complicated. If you don’t go, you lose your momentum. Go, don’t think of a way to “smash” him, and I feel itchy in my heart again.
Insert: I feel relieved when I see you are not doing well.
Transform into a purchasing agent in one second
If you have children at home, the shopping list will always be continuous; those who focus on maintenance will never be left behind in various health preservation methods; women need skin care products to prevent aging and youthfulness, and men also need leather bags and watches to recharge the scene. Therefore, professional micro-businesses and conscientious purchasing agents seized the "business opportunities" and promoted and promoted them to everyone while they were full of wine. All you need for class reunions is the face. If you don’t choose, it’s the best. So I placed an order with five cans of milk powder and a belt, and said in my heart, "Take a generous first, old classmates will never cheat me."
Insert one sentence: A once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, you will never go home if you don’t kill someone.
Can you get less people?
With the responsible attitude of an organizer, from selecting the site and filtering time of the party to ordering dishes and sending notifications, he works hard everywhere and gives up his private time. My old classmates gathered together, but when the agreed time came, they only came in groups of three or three. I still didn't give up asking each one. This car broke down, the one was sick, there were two temporary business trips and four were stuck on the road. Finally, a group of people dispersed in awkwardly eating the dishes from a class.
Insert one sentence: All faces are lost, where is the appeal?
The opening remarks require rehearsal
I thought of facing a large group of old classmates whom I haven't seen for a long time, and my mental state is comparable to the first blind date. "Is it okay to wear this way?" "How to say hello when you meet?" He asked the people around him over and over again, in the mirror. In order not to show distantness, stiffness, and not to be too enthusiastic and polite, I talked to myself before the party started and practiced several times. Imagine countless possible scenarios, and even based on my own impression and understanding, one person plays multiple roles just to avoid the cold scene in that second.
Insert: What I fear most is that he said something just now.
Behind the affectionate gathering is only self-competition
Some people say that class reunions are the annual feast of costumes, everyone "appears on the stage" and performs a human comedy. She carries the latest LV, "It must be a fake, or it's a big shot"; he has a young and beautiful wife, "it won't be a second marriage," of course, these are limited to the self-intoxication of the bystanders in their hearts. On the surface, she still smiled and showed her eight big teeth, "You husband gave it to me, it's so beautiful." "Come on, Boss Wang, drink one." No matter if you have made a gift or made a fuss back then, you don’t consider whether it’s real or pretending. You look like you’re doing well, you always need to be polite and you always have to give enough face.
For old friendships, if it were just a chat with friends of three or five, it would be natural and comfortable. A hodgepodge-style gathering would more or less people who would love to meet each other. It was originally a lively and good opportunity to chat and have a heart-to-heart talk, but it seems a bit inappropriate if it is brainwashed by a pyramid scheme speech, filled with makeup and beauty, diaper and milk powder, or talk about stock economy and business cooperation. The beautiful scene should have started with "I still remember him back then", "We were back then", and "Do you remember once", and ended with a neat and loud laughter. My old friends who have been classmates for three or four years have experienced the most youthful, embarrassing and having nothing. Now, why do you secretly compete for status and face, who is the first to be there, who is not doing well? In fact, behind the class reunion is a series of inner dramas of self-competition, and the hurdle of self-esteem has blocked many precious friendships.
"Palace Fight" classmate reunion
Simple is beauty, I only care about your original appearance
After graduation, there will always be a group of activists volunteering to take on the organizers of the class reunion, holding the banner of "Friendship First" and writing the theme of "Memory of Youth". It was a memoir of a campus time, but gradually, it was mixed with some noises of comparison and showing off wealth. So the class reunion seemed to have become a palace drama full of inner dramas. Whoever has the posture is strong enough, and whose harem status is stable. But simplicity is beauty, and the friendship between classmates should only care about what they were originally like.
Class reunion only to remember the innocent years of the past
Narrator: An Xiaoliang
It is said that when people are nostalgic, they are old, and when people are old, they start to be nostalgic. I often think of my friends during my studies. When one day, a familiar voice suddenly appeared 10 years ago, it was exciting: Old classmate, I haven’t seen you for a long time, let’s organize a gathering! So the cheering and cheering of a group of adults with thick waists in the hotel became the most unforgettable scene. Many people also suddenly slipped out of a corner of the earth. The shy ones in the past have become bold now, but the tomboy ones have become ladies, but the influential figures in the past are now unknown, and the naughty ones have accomplished great things. After several years of separation, I couldn’t finish it any time for a meal. In fact, a meaningful class reunion should be like this. Everyone is not trying to compete with whom they live better, but should be glad that it is great to have you in my student days. Let’s remember the past together and talk about the funny things in the past. It’s so beautiful!
does not have a common language at the same level
Narrator: Quan Xiaojie
I am increasingly confused about whether the class reunion after graduation is really not as simple and pure as in the classroom before? Now every party talks about development and wealth, which seems to be a show of wealth. If you can’t make a name for yourself, it seems that you really lose the meaning of attending a classmate reunion. It has been five years since I graduated. My former classmates got married and had children. I, an older young woman who is still firm in a single position, can't really talk much. When it comes to work, it is just a simple thing to be discussed, and there is really nothing to be used as a topic of discussion. Once I compete with myself, I find that I, who have achieved excellent grades, are not as good as those who have not gone to college. A type like me who is not as good as the best and more than the bottom is the most unknown type in class reunion. The upper-class circle cannot reach it. I am afraid of lowering my identity, so I have to become an audience member who keeps silent from beginning to end and asks the waiter to help me add some tea in the middle.

Luxury car key ring
It doesn’t matter if you don’t have a luxury car. As soon as you arrive, you will put the luxury car key ring you purchased on Taobao on the table at will, and the whole set of actions will be completed in one go.

The life photo of a beautiful woman is set as a screensaver on mobile phone
At the class reunion, I saw everyone showing off their husbands and babies. I was so embarrassed to say that they were a bachelor. I found a real and natural beauty’s life photo as a screensaver. When my phone lit up inadvertently, I said to those curious eyes: My girlfriend. If you are asked repeatedly, don’t reveal your feelings. Give me a glass and say, “Come on, it’s rare for me to get together. Today I won’t talk about women!”
Prepare the common words for the stock market

Secondary of class reunion
Some people say that class reunion is simply a disease, and there are particularly huge sequelae, but this symptom can affect personal mood with its magic.
From hot to cold, life is extremely lonely
Every time before the class reunion, the WeChat group becomes extremely lively. The slingers shouted "When will I come out to gather?" The bosses suddenly said, "I have a car, I will take everyone to have a meal and sing K"... These groups that were originally very hot chat became extremely deserted after the reunion. They connected all the plots like a movie, and then looked at the screen and felt lost.
Beautiful curse, spend all my money
When attending the class reunion, I found that those female classmates were younger than the other, and they were talking about brand-name clothes and cosmetics, so I really couldn't get into it. After returning home, the first thing I did was to withdraw my savings for half a year and go straight to the mall. I feel that I can no longer feel wronged. No matter how much it earns, I will become a beauty first... I will give it my best to be satisfied with the satisfaction of being valued at the next class reunion!
Meet first love, relive old dreams
First love is an unforgettable feeling in the heart. Rather than saying that I can’t forget that person, it’s better to forget the green years I experienced together. After the classmates separated, all kinds of discomforts were inexplicably caught in memories of the past. Looking back, I was open-minded with the face of "smiling the grudges with each other with a smile", but I felt like the bitterness of the mountain road in my heart.
. The cups and cups were just to evoke the memories of the past
. "Let the sky be heard and the white clouds be seen, and no one can erase the promises we made..." He once sang the Little Tigers' "Love" in a sing, saying that the friendship will last forever, but in the end he can't escape the choice of a role in Shengdan and Jingmo Chou, and he wanted to interpret his life. At that time, we felt that the world was very small, and we only realized that it might take a long time to part. Whether we want to do so or not, we are forced to put on a thick mask. The appearance of a class reunion is like a catwalk debut, as if only attention can be taken will not be compared. In fact, the ultimate meaning of this party is not to compete with whose wallets are popular or whose dressing is fashionable. The wine and the meals are just to evoke memories of the past, as simple and beautiful as the student days, without distance or restraint, which is enough.
