When I read Xu Zhimo's "Farewell Cambridge" when I was a teenager, I felt the emotion was delicate and the artistic conception was beautiful, but I didn't know the feeling of sadness. When I was young, I always loved to give parting a special poetic touch, as if parting is the poetry and distance that can make a young heart feel youthful.
Now, in middle age, I am no longer young. Reciting this poem again, in addition to lamenting the traces that time has left on my body, the thoughts of parting brought about by my upcoming journey linger in my heart, but I can't get rid of it.
In order to find a more satisfactory position, I had to accept a job opportunity in a different place. The city where I was going to work was thousands of miles away from my home city. Distance is not an issue, it is the single-digit opportunities to go home during the year due to the nature of the work. When I was young, I would have never tired of it, because my dream was far away. But now, I look forward and backward, because the dream is around me. I have long been accustomed to having you by your side for many years. Now, how can I let go of you now that I have to leave you again?
Late autumn has passed and the winter season is approaching. As the yellow leaves fall from the withered old trees, and I watch the passers-by on the road wearing thick and bloated clothes rustling in the wind, I know that this year The first snow of winter is coming. This made me even more depressed. At this time in previous years, our family would sit together and enjoy hot pot.
At this time of year, I will make a winter health recipe plan for the whole family and prepare a variety of favorite ingredients for the winter. I will ask my friends to purchase tender lamb from Inner Mongolia, the freshest high-calcium beef from distant friends, bring back my mother’s free-range chickens and insect eggs from my hometown in the countryside, and bring back various wild vegetables from the mountains from my father-in-law’s house. .
At this time of year, I will make a plan to take you to play. We walked together in the garden in the middle of the street that we go to once a year. It was the place where we met, and it was also in winter. In this garden, we witness the changing of the four seasons together, with spring, scorching summer, lingering autumn, and the love of winter. We have had these wonderful things too many times, but this winter, I am not with you, far away from this city, and I can only leave you alone to reminisce about the wonderful winters of the past. Thinking about it makes me feel heartbroken.
At this time of year, you will prepare a bowl of warm brown sugar and ginger soup for me. Since my stomach always hurts when the weather gets cold, I need ginger soup to warm my stomach. Every day when I get home from work, I can drink the brown sugar ginger soup you made by yourself. That warm feeling is not only in your stomach, but also in your heart. But I am about to travel far away. When I am in another place, without you by my side, who can prepare a bowl of warm ginger soup for me?
Tomorrow, I will travel far, please take care of yourself. From now on, when you go out every day, wear thicker clothes and try to go out less when the weather is cold to avoid catching a cold or getting sick. Because I'm not around, who will take care of you once you get sick? I would also feel restless and restless when I was away from home.
Tomorrow, I will travel far, please take care of yourself. From now on, you should add an extra quilt to your bed at night and drink more hot water before going to bed. Alas, you always like to kick the quilt off in the middle of the night. If you catch a cold when I'm not around, who will take care of you?
Tomorrow, I will travel far, please take care of yourself. Stay in a good mood every day. If you are bored, you can invite your good friends to sit at home and chat with you to relieve your boredom. Although I am not around, every night before going to bed, I will definitely chat with you and talk about my love with you by the computer thousands of miles away.
Every trip is to get together better. For the sake of our next reunion, please take care of yourself so that I can travel more safely. Let me know that even though I'm not with you, you will always take good care of yourself.
I believe that in the near future, I will eventually return and stay by your side forever.
Tomorrow, I will go on a long journey. This will be my last long journey!
