"On May 25th, Old Dragon came to visit his mother." This is an old saying, which means that it is a rainy day. In response to these words today, the sky was covered with dark clouds, thunder roared, and suddenly a black wind blew.

"On May 25th, the old dragon came to visit his mother." This is an old saying, which means that it is a rainy day. In response to these words today, the sky was covered with dark clouds, thunder roared, and black wind suddenly blew. My eldest daughter rode an electric bicycle and came downstairs with the cake. Just as she opened the door and entered the house, heavy rain fell from the sky. My daughter has a father in her heart, and my father unexpectedly celebrated his birthday. My daughter braved the storm to celebrate my birthday. I said, "What birthday?" But I was very happy in my heart, because it was my eightieth birthday! I remember that in early 2003, the SARS epidemic broke out across the country. It improved in June and people were able to go out and travel. My fourth daughter gave birth to granddaughter Fan Shuo in Hefei in June and September. My wife and I came to Hefei to take care of her. During the day, I had to work in the Hefei Publishing Department, proofreading the manuscript of the "History of the Communist Party of China Linquan" that I edited, and at night I had to stay at my daughter's house. I casually said to the fourth daughter: "I am 60 years old this year and I am going to retire." I didn't mean to say it, but the younger daughter had some ideas after hearing it. My daughter knew that May 25th of the lunar calendar was my birthday, so she and her husband-in-law’s family celebrated a simple birthday for me: a cake, a bowl of longevity noodles, and a heartfelt wish. It was a warm and unique first birthday. This is the second time that the eldest daughter came too suddenly and didn’t greet me in advance, giving me a big surprise. The eldest daughter said: "Liu Jing and I have prepared birthday gifts. You don't have to worry about it. Just put on your birthday hat, make a wish in your heart, blow out the candles, eat a big cake, and eat a bowl of longevity noodles. I will give it to you personally." Dad celebrates his 80th birthday. "

I don't advocate birthdays for the elderly, because the older you get, it may have a negative impact on your mental state; I like to celebrate birthdays for children, because children are the hope of their parents. The bigger it gets, the more people will thrive! This time my daughter celebrates the birthday of an 80-year-old man, which is a special occasion. Although I don't usually drink, on a whim, I took out the Xianghe seed wine that I had treasured for several years and started drinking it with my son-in-law and daughter. My birthday was very simple. Although it was not extravagant, lively or ostentatious, it was very happy, quiet and comfortable. Several other children and grandchildren saw my birthday on WeChat, and they all wished me birthday in different ways. In addition to expressing my inner joy, I asked them (her) to do three things on WeChat: The first is not to celebrate my birthday again, I only ask for another "Family Portrait" photo. The second is to remember that I was glorious in the 50th anniversary of the Party, always follow the Communist Party, act in accordance with Mao Zedong Thought, and do good things. Third, don't forget to read the autobiography "Always Maintain Vitality". Just like me, stay committed and dedicated, never give up, and always maintain revolutionary vitality.
