In the face of the long river of history, one year is insignificant.

However, I believe that 2020, which is about to pass, will be remembered by people. As teacher Jin Canrong said: 2020 is the Year of the Gengzi. Among the elderly, it is an eventful year. Humanity has experienced a "Non-traditional security world war."

It is true that 2020 is an extraordinary year, and the biggest disaster is the spread of the COVID-19 epidemic to all mankind. This year, people have the strongest, simplest and most simple wishes and hopes: to live well and be safe.

A famous saying by the writer Fang Fang: When a grain of ashes of the times falls on an individual's head, it may become a mountain. The epidemic has caused so many families to be torn apart and their lives to be so fragile.

Now look at the situation in many European and American countries. Compared with the embrace of our motherland, there are batches of anti-epidemic heroes who have sacrificed themselves for others to come forward. The Chinese people have inherited the tradition of solidarity and mutual assistance for five thousand years. Virtue, as a Chinese, is something to be proud of. We were born and raised here, and we are grateful to our country.

This year, I have come to appreciate a simple saying even more: A country is made up of millions of families. Only when there is a country can there be a family, and only when the country is peaceful can the people be safe.

Only when the general environment is better and life is peaceful can we pursue our own small happiness.

A few days ago, I saw a piece of news in Changsha, Hunan. A man committed suicide by jumping into a river after sending his wife to work. The process was so decisive and hesitant that it was really painful to watch. Maybe my mentality is becoming more and more like that of an old man: the older I get, the more I cherish my life. I don’t know what the person involved went through. There are reports that he was reprimanded in public by his boss at the company, which hurt his self-esteem. Some netizens speculated that he was suffering from depression and anxiety and could not get out of it.

No matter what the reason is, you might as well think about it when you are troubled. Especially in this year's environment, we are still in a peaceful era, with the backing of a strong motherland, and in a global environment, with Compared with people in countries suffering from poverty, war, epidemics, and epidemics. They are displaced, have problems with food and clothing, and have no guarantee of life. Are the worries in their personal lives insignificant?

Put yourself down a little, go out for a walk more, and come into contact with more things, so your thoughts will not be easy to get into trouble. Don't think too much, and many worries will be solved.

During this year’s epidemic, sometimes I think about it and I feel lucky that I was able to travel abroad before. I know that people have many different ways of living, and there is no absolute right or wrong. Everything has two sides. If you think on the bright side, you can get a good mood and a good attitude. Why think about the worst?

This year, I understand even more how important it is to live in the present.

Because you don’t know what will happen tomorrow. The environment cannot be changed, but the mood can be changed. At least the sunshine, rain, dew and scenery... belong to everyone.

When it comes to work, I believe many people have the same word: endure. Suffer in silence. A friend said that even if you earn a little money, you don’t dare to spend as much as you used to. Think about it, because the epidemic has not yet passed, what will the economic environment be like in the coming year? The people I met this year felt a little heavy when talking to them.

This year, people who don’t have an employer around them are envious of those who do. Do you also think that being a civil servant is your first career choice when you have the opportunity and the conditions to do so when you are young? Do you also feel that in this year's environment, you feel how important it is to have a stable career?

In life, how many people have experienced the test of their relationships and family ties due to the uncertain factors caused by the epidemic: some couples have conflicts because there is no sense of distance, students have to adapt to the rhythm of online classes at home in the first half of the year, The shortage of supplies in supermarkets, etc., makes us either caught off guard, stop losses in time, or cherish what we have now more.

This year, how many people have experienced unprecedented tests. However, life will never be smooth sailing. No year is absolutely good or bad, no matter what kind of unhappiness or result. , as long as you don’t seek to fulfill everyone’s wishes and have no regrets in your heart.

Whether 2020 begins with an epidemic or ends with an epidemic.

It would be a lie to say that you are not afraid, but Buddha said: everything is in the past, happiness is life!

Say goodbye to the troubled 2020 that is about to pass. How can we see the rainbow without going through the wind and rain? Everything is possible!

In the new year, I hope that you and I will meet good people, be healthier, be more financially prosperous, and have a wiser and more open-minded mind.

Let us look forward to 2021 together! Come on 2021!
