I want to leave a souvenir to the old house from ten years ago. Like ants moving, I would go there every weekend to pack up some things sporadically. Our books were packed into several boxes, college textbooks, some novels or historical records that I didn’t like, and my little kid’s childhood. The worn out and expired children's books that I have read are all sold as scrap paper. Some memories have to be thrown away sooner or later.

It is a good habit to tidy up things at home frequently. Small objects may touch your heart inadvertently, and it is happy to have memories. I re-read carefully the large photo album that my mother made for my little kid’s first birthday with a netizen she knew. This netizen’s mother has a daughter born in the same year, month and day as my little kid. She likes photography, painting, and handicrafts. She is a very talented woman who designs and designs. Later she went to Xidan Bookstore in Beijing to sign new books. This photo album is not the kind found in a photo studio. It contains the growth process recorded by us, the cute moments captured, and the pictures carefully designed by the mothers of netizens. We can't put it down. Later, there were more and more choices online, so I instead compiled each year's blogs into volumes and printed them into books. Each book was only printed in two volumes, so it can be called a unique copy. I also saw wedding photos taken many years ago. They had never been cleaned since they were hung on the wall. They were already covered with dust. Sooner or later they would be piled up in a corner of the basement after moving. There were also some photos I bought in Lijiang back then. The unique tie-dye paintings may not be able to find a home in their new home. My little kid is also nostalgic. He saw his old toys here, big and small, and insisted on taking them to his new home. A child's dreams and joy cannot be destroyed. After cleaning, he packed them in boxes and took them away.

Old houses always evoke many memories. Big Ant posted a post with the title of this year’s Shandong Provincial College Entrance Examination essay topic: “All changes in life, all charm, and all beauty are composed of light and shadow.” This is the first time I have heard this sentence. I was attracted by this, and I thought it was such a good saying. Later, I googled it and found out that it was a famous saying by Tolstoy. It is true that there is learning everywhere. So I shamelessly quoted this sentence as the title of my diary. Using this as the title actually reminds me of my many years of experience, which makes me quite emotional.

In our era, science was emphasized over literature. Choosing liberal arts would inevitably lead to being looked down upon. Although physics was worse, I still chose science classes, and it was a smooth journey. . I went to a university that wasn't too bad, and found a job that could still provide me with food and clothing. At a glance, my life decades later seemed to have been clearly planned, and the path of life had its ups and downs. , with mountains and ravines, there are shadows, and flat roads are easy to get tired of and become dull day by day, just like my current state, which is dull. If I had another choice, I would like to be like Fox MM and others, a white-collar worker whose life seems colorful, but just like Milan Kundera wrote in his "The Unbearable Lightness of Being" : "There is no way to test which choice is the best, because there is no comparison. Everything is experienced immediately, just this time, and there is no preparation. It is like an actor going on the stage without rehearsal." This kind of flatness and plainness is not a blessing. Maybe I have been enjoying the happiness brought by this plainness.

The old house will no longer be lived in, and the new life continues. Write something to commemorate the first ten years. Light and shadow will always be with you in the future. With these changes in light and dark, Now that we have a colorful life, there may be no need to worry about our original choices and current status.
