There are still a few days left before 2023 is coming to an end, and for many people, 2023 is like the rest of their lives. But fortunately, at the beginning of 2023, freedom is like opening a cage, we are no longer afraid of the epidemic, and we are no longer afraid of not being able to go home for reunion during the Chinese New Year, but that January, we are all yang and started herd immunity. It is worth recalling that we finally have a new home in Hainan, from the north to the south, more than ten years of duckweed life finally blossomed in January 2023.
In February, after several turnovers, we finally returned to our hometown in Gansu, and our family was finally reunited in that cold but warm old tiled house.
The laughter and laughter of that Chinese New Year's Eve dinner resolved too much helplessness, but the Spring Festival seemed too short for migrant workers, and they had to say goodbye in a hurry before they could integrate well. On the fifth day of the first lunar month, the weather was still cold, and I embarked on the road back to Hainan, along the way from the snow-capped mountains to the green fields, from barren to prosperous, which seemed to be a centuries of crossing, and for this reason, our ancestors struggled from generation to generation, year after year, year after year.
Just a week after arriving in Hainan, something happened to my lover's home, and the sudden bad news made us nervous and nervous along the way, but the news was true after all. After burying my relatives, I accompanied my mother-in-law to deal with a lot of trivial matters, and my lover returned to Hainan ahead of schedule. At that moment, it felt like the world was all grey. I made a special trip to Jiuhua Mountain, hoping that the wish of the King of Jizo Bodhisattva would allow my relatives to be free from suffering and happy. I was deeply moved by the world of Buddhism, as if it was my final destination.
The sun is shining in Hainan in March, and the tide is pressing from time to time. The warm and clear Hainan also couldn't keep the heart of a working boy, and within a few days I started a long business trip. From the end of March to the end of April, I went to Shanghai, the magic capital of my dreams, the once invincible city of the world.
At the beginning of May, I stepped out of the country for the first time and flew to Dubai, the city of luxury cars that the whole world is showing off. After the eight-hour flight, I was in a foreign land for the first time, cramped and uneasy, unable to understand the language or writing, and was completely dependent on the few broken English left in college.
After attending the Abu Dhabi Global Investment Annual Conference, I felt for the first time that a strong motherland makes you feel praised for being a Chinese no matter where you are.
When you are thousands of miles away from the motherland, you will understand the meaning of the word compatriot and the meaning of the country.
After returning to Hainan, I received the most precious gift of my life, my wife was pregnant. The first time I heard the news, it was exciting and incredible, I was going to be a dad, and suddenly it felt like the world had changed, and it was beautiful and exciting. I lay on my lover's stomach and tried to listen to her voice, but I couldn't hear anything, but even so, I couldn't suppress my happiness and emotion.
In mid-June, I went on a business trip to Bangkok, Thailand, to watch a ladyboy show and eat special food, and the overall feeling is that the infrastructure of the motherland is completely at the international leading level in all aspects. In July, I went to Beijing, Guangzhou, and Zhuhai, and in August I went to Lanzhou and Shenzhen.
At the end of September, I returned to Hainan, and my wife had to do all kinds of pre-delivery check-ups, and before that, she was running back and forth in the hospital by herself with a big belly, and this time I decided not to go on a business trip anyway. My wife and I tell stories to the unborn baby every day, listen to nursery rhymes, and give her various names, although we don't know whether it is a boy or a girl, we have started to prepare all kinds of clothes and baby products for her.
On National Day in October, I took my lover to the zoo to relax, and a person's pregnancy made her almost emotionally broken. Looking at all kinds of animals, she is also very happy, and keeps telling the baby what kind of animal this is, what kind of animal it is, although she can't see it, but we believe she can hear it.
I was going to give birth at the end of October, and I was in a state of anxiety because of all kinds of pain. Finally, on that night in early November, the baby was born. After a long period of pain and almost fainting, the baby fell to the ground. It's a cute little princess, and she was so happy at that moment. The birth of a life means that this family is truly established, and from now on we will be around the lovely baby.
But the baby was born with low immunity and lived in an incubator, and at that moment it felt like the sky was about to fall. Fortunately, five days later, the baby was discharged from the hospital in good health, which was the first time she saw this home, and saw her mother and father.
In December, she was full moon, and I was very happy to watch her grow up day by day, turning white day by day. In any case, I know that my 2023 has become unforgettable and meaningful because of the birth of my baby.
Some people say that if a person can only do one thing a year, my 2023 will welcome the birth of a new life and the beginning of happiness. May all of us have happy beginnings and memories, no matter how bad the past was, please remember that there will always be a happiness in the future that makes you fall in love with the world.
