Solo trip in April

 　　I enjoy walking alone, especially in April, silently savoring the warmth far removed from the hustle and bustle, quietly experiencing the romance that wells up from the bottom of my heart.

　　Walking alone in warm April is not lonely. Some verdant thoughts, slowly, slowly follow and accompany me. The cuckoo, calling all day long, shows no sign of weariness, repeatedly summoning the farmers' diligence. Even the vines hidden in the ditches and slopes begin to stretch their lives, quietly, quietly climbing along the pale yellow dreams.

　　The east wind is gentle, and youth fades quickly. In warm April, all thoughts vie to sprout—although some miracles are destined not to bloom. In fact, many miracles do not need to bloom, such as the humble yet resilient perseverance of those nameless grasses. Let those that will not bloom scatter as footprints on the path—as long as they remain, they are a memory, a lingering attachment.

　　Walking alone in the warm month of April, if an unexpected April rain falls, the lonely journey takes on a unique charm. The gentle patter of the east wind carries rhyming verses; the soft, persistent raindrops drift across the vast天地 (heaven and earth), evoking a leisurely, unhurried mood. A small umbrella cannot fully support the delicate beauty of Li Qingzhao; the graceful splashes of water cannot bear the sighs of Liu Yong. Spring rain, like smoke, drifts over the village women of Huanxi Sha; spring rain, like mist, shrouds the village dwellings of Qingping Le.

　　Walking alone in the warm month of April, there's no need to force a smile onto a facade of romance. Those distant aspirations, more distant than the heavens, subtly omitrate sorrow; those melancholy notes, lighter than willow catkins, slowly begin to dance with tenderness. Life is full of disappointments; maintaining a positive mindset is the most important key. My solitary journey in April allows my body and soul to enter nature, to merge with nature.

　　Walking alone in the warm month of April, besides the ever-growing wisdom, the ever-green insights, and the ever-growing sense of poetry, I need nothing else to accompany me...

A foreign land, a different kind of charm.

 　　In a foreign land, I'm used to measuring the local customs with my eyes and understanding the folkways with my heart. No matter where I am, every brick, every tile, every person, and every event evokes endless emotions in me. 　　Yao'an has two distinctive features that I rarely saw before. In the north, where rainfall is scarce, single-story houses are the norm, but in Yao'an, pointed-roof tile houses are everywhere, surrounded by high walls forming deep courtyards with vermilion gates. Perhaps the branches in the courtyards couldn't resist climbing over the walls. Such architecture, in the north where family values ​​are strong, is both solemn and vibrant. I grew up in a mountain village, where I mostly saw stone houses nestled at the foot or halfway up the mountain. I rarely saw this kind of architecture, and my mind was full of questions: Why are the walls so high? Why are the gates red? Why are the roofs pointed? 　　Walking along the paths of this foreign land, wat...

'Sailing' Classroom is Full of Fun

    As a college student majoring in education, I need to master many skills required for teaching. Today was the first time the members of the "Sailing" social practice team truly stood on the platform as teachers, imparting knowledge to students. It was their first real experience, and I could sense that everyone was a little scared but also full of anticipation. The fear stemmed from the fact that it was their first time standing there, and they weren't sure if they could handle the role well; the anticipation came from the long preparation they had put into these classes, wanting to bring these students a unique kind of joy.   This afternoon, in a Chinese language and classical studies class, the students' clear voices reciting their lessons filled the entire campus, and laughter filled the classroom. Watching quietly from the sidelines, I could feel the same joy from the young teachers on stage. The Chinese language and classical studies class imparted the profo...

Slow tea, slow life

 　　Plants used to grow slowly, naturally, naturally, without knowing what a morning market was or what a good price was. 　　Streams used to flow slowly, drifting through mountain forests, leisurely going wherever they wanted. 　　Light and shadow used to move slowly; from a tea bud to a cup of tea, it took many steps and many days. 　　Life used to be slow, peaceful and leisurely, with time to enjoy a game of chess on a cicada-singing afternoon, or to spend an evening with a sky full of stars while engrossed in a book. 　　Since when did speed become the resounding rhythm of life? 　　Internet speeds must be fast; mobile phone upgrades are measured in years; trains are accelerating, passenger planes are striving for supersonic speeds; ships and small boats have been phased out, speedboats have become the main mode of transport; fast food is the norm, express delivery is the norm, everything must be done quickly and efficiently. It seems only in this way can we find satisfaction. 　　Work effi...
