Youth is either about being crazy or being lost.

     After more than a decade of wandering, time can never go back. So many things have become faded and worn, even memories have become a luxury. Many people and events have been washed away by time, unwilling to relive them, only wanting to preserve the initial memories. However, there are some things I hope I can persevere in; that's enough.

    For Momo, her youth is about to pass, and the future is still unknown. She always felt that she had ultimately wasted her youth. Only today did Momo understand that some things are meaningless if not experienced at the time. But Momo still has to realize her university dream and find her own love. Thinking of this, she felt at peace.

    In Momo's words: "Dandelions are destined to fly, so let them fly away. Some people are destined to leave our sight, destined to gradually fade from our lives, so let those things of adolescence become beautiful encounters in our memories!"

    In high school, we had dreams—dreams about literature, about love, about traveling the world. Now, after encountering loneliness time and time again, have you discovered that loneliness is like a cup of intoxicating barley wine, bitter yet with a lingering fragrance on the tongue? Paying attention to life, do you understand that everything in life is a gift from the Creator, and loneliness is no exception?

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.

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...
