Looking back at 2023 - the beginning and end of the New Year, it is the end and the starting point. At the end of last year, I ushered in the New Year amid the cough left by the new coronavirus, and bowls of bitter Chinese herbal soup. At the end of this year, the flu that has been repeated and lingering still leaves coughing sounds one after another, and I am still drinking the bitter Chinese medicine soup. Looking back at the 2023 that is about to end, my heart is really mixed. Taking stock of the key words in personal life in 2003, bittersweet and bittersweet, mixed with joys and sorrows. 
The first keyword:Seek medical advice。From the beginning of the year to the end of the year, getting sick and seeking medical advice have become the main thread throughout and the key words in 2023. At the beginning of the year, the hospital was overcrowded due to a long-term cough and lung infection, so the whole family relied on the decoction of Dr. Wu, a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner. Every day, the process of fever to cough to recovery is recorded, and it has inadvertently helped a lot of readers, some of them have a long cough, some are suffering from panic, insomnia and other post-new crown sequelae, for a while, there were some male patients in front of Dr. Wu's ** outpatient clinic and waited in a long line to take the pulse, which became a special scenery of Zhangdian District Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine. The plague is scattered, and the cough is cured. Because of work, sedentary and lack of exercise, my legs hurt and my legs were numb, and I came to the door again. Paste plasters, take medicine, wipe this and that, lumbar ** instrument, hang horizontal bar, ......Frequently build houses in various hospitals and clinics, and a lumbar spine patient can take all the detours. Fortunately, Dr. Liu Xiangyang of the Municipal Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine was diagnosed with piriformis syndrome, which saved me the pain of surgery. Fortunately, Zhang Qun of Shanchengtang TCM Clinic used acupuncture and moxibustion to relieve my back pain and leg numbness, and I was able to walk and stand normally. Many friends who were sick and painful followed suit, and found a good doctor. At the end of the year, this wave of cold and pandemic did not escape, several viruses took turns, young people recovered quickly, I was an older person repeated several times, and the protracted cough dragged from the end of last month to the end of this month, fortunately, Dr. Wu's decoction and Dr. Zhang Qun's moxibustion helped me reduce a lot of pain. Probably when the New Year comes, the disease will be cured. As I mentioned earlier in an article, illness is a red light that lights up in the body and reminds us to stop, rest, wait, and then start moving forward. Maybe,Every illness is a reminder of life, and every recovery is a gift of time. 
The second keyword:Busy and happy。It feels like this year has been particularly busy, busier than any other year in the past. As a retired employee of the enterprise who is still working, the work pressure is less and there are more social activities. It's been a year like I've been filling out forms non-stop. The association was established to fill in the form, the women's congress held a meeting to fill in the form, the top ten volunteers filled in the form, the entries were filled in the form every month and quarterly, the selection account was filled in the form, and the individual selection was ......Sometimes I wanted to write a manuscript in the evening, but suddenly they sent me a table. There are also meetings. The inaugural meeting of the High-tech Writers Association, the inaugural meeting of the New ** Alliance, the Zibo Women's Congress, and various forums for soliciting opinions, seminars on entering enterprises, and ...... thematic education and training meetingsA person who does not want to sit for a long time is still pressed to a chair by various meetings. I have participated in a lot of activities, visited a lot of places, visited a lot of enterprises, and increased a lot of knowledge. He was also invited to be a judge twice in the speech contest of the fire brigade and the business skills competition of the Municipal Examination and Approval Bureau. The most regrettable thing is that because of physical reasons, I missed the activity of inspecting the Great Wall of Qi in the province. The most humiliating thing is that at the end of November, he participated in the "The Wind Rises in Haidai" online review theme activity for the 45th anniversary of reform and opening up, but because of a fever halfway through, he only walked half of the trip and went home. Of course, writing is still the main business. To see a doctor and treat a disease, to write about what you see and hear, to write about uneven roads, to help people, and to write when Zibo barbecue is on fire, it is even more important to write about cheering for your city. I couldn't sit in front of the computer for a long time, so I just lay on the bed and wrote. Of course, there are also some trivial things in life that take up a lot of energy, resulting in some of the manuscripts that I want to write are not written. A family dispute that lasted for four or five months, and it took two or three months to clean up the house, move, buy, clean, etc., really broke my heart when I was not good at worrying. Sometimes I work for hours in a row and forget to sleep and eat, and I simply forget that I am a person who can't walk for more than half a year and can't stand for a short time. Many people advised me to learn to refuse, to be sensible, and not to make myself too tired. Still, I enjoy my busy life, anywayIt is better to shine than to waste time, and labor and work can best reflect a person's value. 
The third keyword:Harvest and regret。I like to grow flowers and vegetables, and I like to keep buying seeds to scatter in pots and in the ground. After moving to the first floor, I kept sprinkling some flower seeds on the open space downstairs, transplanting some flower seedlings such as yueji, jasmine, and gardenia. In the dry and water-scarce season, after work, I went to water those seedlings one by one. Wait with anticipation to see how they bloom. However, the flowers planted downstairs are always ill-fated, sometimes smashed by children on bicycles, and sometimes stolen and poached. This year, someone stole a rouge buckle, a gardenia, and a few hosta flowers. The remaining hostas under the tree did not bloom very vigorously, the impatiens seemed to be sick and died before they bloomed in the formation I wanted, and the moon season and jasmine slowed down and did not bloom much, and winter came, but the herbaceous purple jasmine and mallow bloomed one after another, and bloomed until winter. Before the snow fell, I moved a jasmine and a few not-so-large mallows into the pot, and now the leaves on the windowsill are verdant, and the jasmine has two small flowers, which I am very relieved to. This year, due to illness and miscellaneous matters, I was impetuous, and I didn't write any good works. Fortunately, all five of the speeches I participated in won awards in the competition. Yanzi, who won the second place in the first prize of the city's storytelling category, mainly because her own manuscript was well written and told, and I just helped to revise it slightly and recommended her to the Propaganda Department. Yiyuan New Era Hongsao's speech took a lot of effort to revise, but unfortunately it was deleted due to time constraints, and it should have won a second prize. The story of the household registration police and the manuscript of the spirit of three mentions and three contentions were written completely based on their own ideas and creativity, and won the second prize in the system and the district respectively. The speech of the Gaoqing Detention Center did not play very well because of the conditions, and only one company in the city was selected to participate in the competition, but I didn't expect to be selected, and it is said that it won the third prize. He also created a small script for an occupational health expert to participate in the provincial competition, which was also the third prize. In addition, I also spent a lot of time and effort to help my friends write some copywriting for the party and ** short film. The level is limited and hopefully it doesn't disappoint them too much. There is also the account "Zi Talk", because of the limited energy, there is not much energy in writing and editing, and the traffic is not very stable. However, I have received a lot of love from my friends, and I am happy that the number of fans finally exceeded 5,000 last month. This year, the account and some articles have also received some small rewards for participating in the selection, which is an encouragement and spur for me. Although it is getting harder and harder, I still want to stick to this land that is not very well cultivated and express some things I want to talk about in my heart. At this point in life, limited by talent, there may not be much achievement, sowing seeds with your hands, and you can harvest some small flowers and grasses, and you are also very content. 
The fourth keyword:Warm and touching。In 2023, because of the barbecue, tourists from all over the country will feel the warmth of the city of Zibo. I am also moved by my own city, by the people living in this city, and by the warmth and kindness of the world. Walking in the city, feeling its rapid changes, watching the changes happening on the streets, and listening to those touching and warm stories, I hurriedly squeezed out time to record the next touching moments, and retain the truth, goodness and beauty of the world. This year, I have made a lot of new friends and gained a lot of new friendships in the vast sea of people. Because of an article and the treasure home of Mr. Qin Yuyan and Mr. Qin Yuci, I have unearthed many touching stories;Because of the activity of "Building a City of Consumer Goods", I got acquainted with Professor Wang Jialin and his wife Mr. Shen, who brought happiness to Zibo, and gained a lot of happinessAfter meeting Zhang Qun, a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner, not only was the pain relieved, but also her meticulous care in life, and the children became good friends and gained family-like warmth and friendship. Of course, there have been some chilling and chilling things in the past year. In front of simple and kind people, the darkness and complexity of human nature will show its fangs from time to time, making kind people feel pain and wake up. In the journey of life, everyone will inevitably experience such things, and waking up from nightmares is like being reborn. Yesterday, the past has become experience and lessons, as long as you live well, the future can always be expected. Standing at the end of 2023 and thanking for everything this year has given me. Thanks to those illnesses that have taught me to be strong and courageous;Thank you for not letting your time go to waste;Thanks to those encouragement and spurs that made me dare not stop, and thanks to those human warmth who accompanied me through difficult times and gave me strength and courage to face the future. Although life is never smooth sailing, there are flowers and thorns on the way forward. But in the face of the new 2024, I am still full of expectations. I look forward to meeting more beautiful people and doing more valuable and meaningful things in the future. The New Year is approaching, and the weather is warming up after a heavy snowfall in the city. 2023 Let's turn the page In our lives, cold and warmth always come and go, and the cycle repeats. And the sweetness and bitterness of life, joy and sorrow, the same. Bitterness will come, and despair will come to life. Hope is just like the grass on the plain, experiencing the spring breeze of wildfire, and under the ashes, a patch of tender shoots emerges. 
May my friends and I still have love in our hearts and light in our eyes in the coming year, so that the flower of life will bloom more brilliantly in the cycle of time, warm and illuminate the world around us.
