Learn to appreciate

   Life's journey is filled with flowers and tears. There are beautiful landscapes and repulsive places. No one's life can have a perfect beginning and end, nor can it be one of perpetual torment. Learning to appreciate them from a different perspective can transform them into a beautiful scene. 

  Learn to appreciate, appreciate the beautiful scenery. Success is wonderful, exhilarating. When you feel down, looking back at your successes will ignite your inner strength and rekindle your heroic spirit. When you admire the magnificent landscapes of your motherland, do you ever think of your past successes?   

  Learn to appreciate, appreciate the somber loneliness. Loneliness can be terrible, but it can be understood in another way. Too much noise is worse than a little quiet. Cultivate your character, strengthen your mind, become refined, no less noble than the famous poets of ancient dynasties, and cultivate a spirit where solitude is golden.   

  Learn to appreciate, appreciate the pain of failure. When we fall heavily to the ground, surrounded by darkness and ridicule, do not be afraid; it is the demons testing your resolve. That's your cowardly side. You just need to overcome failure, learn from it, and not be defeated by it. Learn to appreciate even a blemish on a shining achievement.   

  Learn to appreciate the mockery of others. Their ridicule is either out of jealousy or contempt. You can see it as them using a strong sense of crisis to suppress you, making you feel suffocated, but ultimately, this will give you extraordinary resilience, teaching you to struggle and resist. Thinking this way is a form of self-help and also a way of understanding others.   

  Learn to appreciate everything along the way. Only by learning to appreciate everything will your life not feel so empty. Appreciation will allow you to make many friends, and appreciating various efforts and failures together will give you a deeper life experience and understanding. Appreciate life, let laughter replace your previous naivety and melancholy! Learn to see life from all angles, observe and understand it, and one day you will be surprised to find that all the unpleasantness before was simply because you didn't know how to look at it. 

  Learn to appreciate, and believe that you will live a uniquely wonderful life!

There's a kind of meeting that feels like a long-awaited encounter.

     When     I first arrived in this city, the weather was a hazy, grayish white. It was already the height of summer, and there was a humid, stifling heat.     At the subway exit, I saw Mo Xiaobei struggling to find me in the crowd. She took my suitcase, then pretended to be incredibly strong, smiling happily at me and revealing her cute little tiger teeth. I followed Mo Xiaobei through several subway stops until we finally arrived at her rented room. The moment I opened the door, it felt like I had entered a disaster zone. Just as I had imagined, her room was a mess. Several pairs of shoes were scattered haphazardly on the floor, and bottles and jars were strewn about on the table, along with leftover food that had been moldy for days. I turned to look at Mo Xiaobei, who scratched her head sheepishly. "I haven't cleaned the house these past few days. Since you're here, could you help me tidy up?" I knew she was always like this, so I shook my head h...

How should parents guide their children to correctly understand themselves when faced with their own imperfections?

   No one is perfect, and we must accept our own shortcomings. So, how should parents guide their children to correctly understand themselves when faced with their own imperfections?   01. Help children accept themselves.   Every leaf in the world is different, and so are people. To help children accept themselves, parents must first help them accept their appearance. Even if they don't have big eyes or a high nose, they can compensate with other strengths. Everyone has their own unique beauty; appearance is just a superficial thing, and it will age with time, while the soul remains constant. Therefore, teach children not to be too concerned about their appearance, but to focus on learning and enriching their inner world.   02. Don't compare them to other children; let them surpass themselves.   It's said that without comparison, there is no harm. This applies not only to adults but also to children. Some parents always compare their children to others, which can lead child...

I haven't forgotten Quanzhou Third Lane

   I've lived in Quanzhou for half my life, and in Dongjie for so many years, I've never walked through Sanxiang Lane, even though it's right next door. Sometimes I would pass by without paying much attention; it's just a typical southern alley, 200-300 meters long   and 2 meters wide. Someone who's lived in this city for over 20 years without much worldly success moved in to save on rent. I was fortunate enough to record a small segment of this alley's long history. At the intersection of Sanxiang Lane and Wenling Road, there's a newly built residential area—though it's been 15 years since then. The ground floor is like any other building, with shops on the ground floor. Across the street are some older houses, urban villages. The buildings along the roadside are also shops: senior citizens' associations, small factories, cigarette shops, hair salons, breakfast stalls, and fried dough twists—they were delicious, coated in sugar, and I often bought t...
