We watch them grow up or get old, just like our own years. We participate in their weddings, funerals, joys and sorrows, just like our own destiny in our own lives. Because of our neighbors and these simple and beautiful relationships, we can feel the fullness and happiness in the daily necessities and the bland warmth in the dim light. I am deeply impressed and grateful for every good neighbor I met unexpectedly in the world. Now that I think about it, it seems that I can still hear my aunt's hearty laughter, think of my brother's naughty, think of my uncle's enthusiasm and easygoing, and think of my grandmother's thoughtfulness and generosity.
Wandering with my parents since I was a child. It can be said that I seldom live in one place for more than a few years. But even so, in this different environmental change, I still met countless warm and kind neighbors. My parents came home late and took care of my aunt spontaneously. She accompanied and comforted me for countless nights, and even the unknown fears became insignificant. When she wakes me up from my sleepy eyes and takes me to see my parents, I can always hear her gentle smile and say how good and sensible I am today. There is an uncle who enthusiastically takes my parents to work every day after knowing that my car is broken. In my parents' eyes full of apologies and gratitude, he laughed heartily and waved his hand and said, "We are all neighbors, don't be strangers!" " Not to mention many people occasionally send things or meet and say hello. Many warm-hearted or gentle people are imprinted in my memory, and they are slowly changing our home, making us closer and closer to them every time we go to a new environment. Of course, leaving is inevitable, and it has long been a fixed procedure for us to say goodbye to each other. Helpless and powerless.
However, with the growth of age, our family has gradually stabilized and stopped running around. After living in formal residential areas and tall apartment buildings in the city, we seldom meet people who used to be fresh and kind. Indifference and alienation seem to be the characteristics of this place. Sometimes even when we meet in the elevator, we feel embarrassed and numb, and our hands and feet are bound. I often wonder, is this a manifestation of the city's growing development? Or should urban modern people be like this, otherwise it is not a label of fashion independence? Maybe neither, but I don't have the answer.
So more than once, I miss the days when the faucets were crowded together and had to fetch water together, the past when the garbage was put at the door and carried to each other, and the ordinary people whose names were inextricably linked. They all have the same name-neighbors. Then turn into the corridor and find a strange face, turning a blind eye silently.
Man is a group animal. No matter how the times develop, people's deep expectations and demands for the group will not change. Once upon a time, we went from a neighborhood where chickens and dogs heard each other to a stranger who didn't say hello when we met. With the rise of reinforced concrete in cities, the pace of people's work and life is accelerating, and the scene of warm mutual assistance between neighbors is no longer a rare thing. The strong "neighborhood feeling" is gradually fading away because of the barriers of various security doors. Even if you go door to door, most of the neighbors are cat's eyes, not to mention "neighborhood mutual assistance" and "neighborhood blind date".
Neighborhood relationship is an important part of urban civilization, and its harmony brings the signal of harmonious development of the city. I hope there will be less disputes, more tolerance, less indifference, more sincerity, less alienation and more closeness. Then we may feel that the city has developed very well and filled the hole of helplessness and loneliness in our hearts.
With the slogan "Watch in the Collar", I was silent in the wind, just like a silent satire. But I hope that next time, it can fly with the wind, so that everyone passing by can smile after seeing it, and then turn around and say, "Hello, I live on the third floor, and you?"
