What we should admire is "the clash of swords," not "romantic moments under the moon."

     Flowers bloom and wither, spring goes and autumn comes; perhaps the most fleeting thing in this world is time.

    Momo quietly passed through her first year of high school, and before she knew it, her second year arrived, and life gradually became busier. Occasionally, Momo could be seen hurrying past hand-in-hand with her classmates on campus. (Seeing her like this always makes me happy for her.) Habits are not impossible to change; it just depends on whether she's willing to change. Once a habit is changed, it becomes natural. I think Momo has changed.

    In the midst of all the days that should have been filled with hard work and progress, occasional little episodes would emerge, catching the attention and stirring the longings of naive teenagers. Whenever couples were seen together in class, the whole class would gossip. After all, at this age, this was still considered "puppy love," something that parents and teachers opposed and dreaded. Despite this, countless young people still fell deeply into it, and a "love craze" swept through the school in secret. Time followed at its own unhurried pace, and her understanding of love remained lukewarm. Even though she had felt envy and anticipation, for her exceptionally rational self, love was just a game: play it or lose it. She always dismissed it with disdain. As the saying goes, love arises without warning, and deepens with each passing moment; alas, even the most beautiful love cannot withstand the passage of time.

    She once said: She never deliberately seeks love. She believes in fate; what belongs to her will come to her no matter how far away. There's no point in fighting for it. So, she waits for her love, living her princess dream in her castle.

    Life, in the end, is a series of encounters—sometimes surprising, sometimes enriching, sometimes unknown. Why pursue so-called romance under the guise of "swords and shadows"?

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...
