Essay on getting together with old friends at White Lake
The old house in Baihu is still there, and there are still relatives living in Baihu, so we will naturally go back to Baihu to live in a while. Originally, I decided to drive back to Baihu this morning, but yesterday morning I suddenly received Lu Jianshun, **Ping and his wife**, intending to invite old friends in Baihu to get together.
We've been away from White Lake Farm for some years. We are a trip to the mountains and a trip to the water, tirelessly advancing. Although the journey of life has gradually drifted away from the past, the deep nostalgia for the homeland is still the same.
The homeland is our roots, the attraction of our life, and our spiritual home. The memories of our youth are all left in this homeland of White Lake. In the days to come, no matter how life changes, the deep feelings for the homeland in my heart will probably not change in this life.
My wife is the second generation of White Lake, and her feelings for White Lake are even more constant. No matter how far we go, the homeland complex that haunts us always exists in our hearts. We are with our friends from the same era in Baihu, we know each other well, we have many common topics, and we are interesting, interesting and never tired of chatting.
Every time I return to White Lake, see a familiar scene, and hear the unique accent of White Lake people, I will feel a warm sense of belonging in my heart. I am very happy to be happy to be with old friends from White Lake.
The old fertilizer factory in White Lake, where I worked the longest. There is our former youth, there are too many memories, and we have spent the years of burning passion there. The friends I met with last night had all worked there before, and we had shared the same scenery at the foot of the mountain. When we were young, we sweated and sowed hope. Some old houses at the foot of Laoshan are still there, and some dilapidated walled alleys are still there, which is a collection of traces of time. The collection is the stories of the past years, and the memories we have experienced there.
Our old friends at the foot of the mountain are reunited. Moments together are always warm and short. Together, we drank and talked, and reminisced about the past. Comrade Zhou Zengjun is the former director of the Baihu Fertilizer Plant. When I first arrived at the fertilizer factory, I used to be the next-door neighbor with him. Last night, he also mentioned the conflict between me and my wife when we were young. I have forgotten the past for a long time, but he can still remember it clearly, which shows that his memory of the past is very deep.
Comrade Zhou Zengjun matured politically early, and although he was only one year older than me, he was the director of a fertilizer factory when he was young. The way he reconciles the conflict between husband and wife is really unique. Whoever has a conflict between the young couple, as long as he knows, he will go to someone's house as a guest. When the young couple saw the factory director coming to the door, the couple could only be busy receiving him. While busy entertaining him, the conflict between the couple was invisibly resolved. He didn't have to say much, and the problem was gone. He was given great hospitality and a good reputation for caring for his subordinates. This clever method of resolving the conflict also became a beautiful conversation at our dinner last night.
Those of us who have gathered together know our roots, and we are the most precious companions in the journey of life. We understand each other's strengths and weaknesses, as well as our dreams and pursuits. There is no need for flowery rhetoric and hypocritical politeness between us, only sincere concern and love. Even though time and distance have distanced us, we can still understand and appreciate each other.
On the road of life, we need such old friends to accompany us through every stage. We should cherish the old friends around us and maintain this friendship with sincerity and love.
