I wonder if everyone feels the same way when they go home for the New Year? Walking through the door of a relative's house, the relatives greeted them warmly, but an indescribable embarrassment followed. We sat around and tried to regain common threads that had long been lost. I searched hard for memories in my head, trying to find a resonance, but it always seemed hard to reach.
At the dinner table, what was once a lively discussion and argument has turned into silence and bowing your head and playing with your mobile phone. That carefree, no-holds-barred atmosphere has disappeared without a trace. I try to stir up some topics, but it often ends in a hurry, and everyone seems to be immersed in their own world, and it is difficult to communicate with the outside world.
It is even more regrettable to me that even today, with such modern technology, relatives still maintain an almost stubborn sense of distance. They are reluctant to join WeChat groups, share their lives, or listen to others. This sense of distance not only makes us lose contact, but also makes us lose our understanding and care for each other.
I began to reflect, how exactly did this change happen? Is it the fast-paced life of modern society that makes us cold and selfish, or do we ourselves inadvertently forget those precious family and friendships?
I miss that era, the time when it was poor but full of warmth. I miss the time when the big family came together, shared joys and sorrows, and spent every important moment together. I miss the time when I could feel deeply cared for each other even when I didn't have a mobile phone or the Internet.
Perhaps, we should really stop and re-examine our way of life and values. In this era of rapid development, we should not forget the family and friendship that once gave us warmth and strength. We should cherish each other more, spend more time with family and friends, and share each other's lives and joys.
In conclusion, I would like to say that no matter how times change, family and friendship will always be our most valuable treasure. Let's not let these precious emotions fade with time. Let us feel, cherish, and embrace those relatives and friends who have accompanied us through the road of life!
