Everything you have is the best.

   In life, we often unleash our worst temper on our loved ones, while showing gentleness and kindness to strangers. Yes, as we grow older, we drift further away from them.

  There was a time when we complained that our parents didn't give us good looks, that we didn't have the carefree lives of other children, and that those around us were ignorant and foolish. Gradually, we became impatient with conversations, feeling the whole world owed us a decent explanation. When we have such thoughts, we shouldn't rush to deny ourselves. We just need to temporarily process these emotions and then think about these issues carefully from a different perspective.

  We don't know the real situation behind our complaints. While we complain about our country's policies, other countries are still engulfed in war; we complain that our parents didn't give us a good life, that they worked hard and couldn't afford to spend a penny; we complain about the ignorance and foolishness of those around us, unaware that everyone has their own perspective, and perhaps if you put yourself in their shoes, you'd immediately understand. What I really want to say is that the so-called peaceful and tranquil life we ​​enjoy is because someone is bearing the burden for us; what we have is the best.

  If we can still strive, if we still have youth, strength, and health… all of this is the best. "Flowers may bloom again, but youth never returns." Seize your dreams, and you too can create the impossible. Every day is a new beginning. If you're not satisfied with your current self, make some changes. What we have is the best; if you believe, sunshine will come.

  The past—its bitterness, complaints, and doubts—is nothing but stumbling blocks on our path. From now on, the people and things around us are the most important. Let life shine brightly and be extraordinary.

  Because of cherishing, things are beautiful; because of you, there is laughter; because of possession, life lasts forever. •ᴗ•

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...
