Stepping into the hotel banquet hall and seeing familiar and unfamiliar faces, I couldn't help but feel a little excited. But when the classmates greeted and embraced, Liu Xiaodong's voice broke the warmth, and he smiled and asked everyone who had the best mix and who made the most money over the years. My heart chuckled, it turned out that everyone was still more family as usual when they met. I sat quietly in the corner, watching my classmates go back and forth about their recent earnings and performance. With a smug smile on his face, squad leader Wang said that he had become the general manager of a certain company and had hundreds of employees under him.
Li Xiaobing was not to be outdone, boasting that he had a lot of relationships with several **, and there was no one who recommended him. I could tell that they were all deliberately highlighting their own achievements, as if they were competing with each other to see who was the most successful. This hypocritical contrived spectacle makes me uncomfortable, and I'm here to regain the feeling of the past, not to listen to them boast of vanity achievements. We used to be such good classmates, but now when we meet, we talk about money and power first, which makes my impression of them very bad.
Looking around, I noticed that everyone had changed a lot, and it felt strange to me. The cheerful and lively Ma Xiaonan in his memory is expressionless at the moment, Li Siming has become conservative, and he can no longer see the enthusiasm and unrestrainedness he once had. Neither I nor them are the best confidants. Among them, Zhang Xiaoming seems to be going well, dressed brightly, and has a sense of superiority in his gestures. But the Zhang Xiaoming in my memory is not like this, we are all from ordinary families, and his changes now make me a little uncomfortable. On the other side, Li Xiaogang was slightly haggard, his eyes wandered, and there was a negative aura on his body. Thinking about the many setbacks he has suffered over the years, I can't help but feel sorry for him.
Looking at the old classmates' bold or decadent appearances, I can't help but feel that everyone has changed too much. We used to be young and chatty, but now we are passers-by. The strangeness made me feel a little sad, and I began to think about what we had missed out on over the years. Just when everyone was chatting one after another, Wang Dazhui's loud voice suddenly interjected into the conversation. He excitedly said that he had just taken over the CEO of a listed company, with thousands of employees under him, and he came back this time to drive a BMW to show off.
I remember that Wang Dazhui's family conditions were very poor, and he probably wanted to show off at the party. Wang Dazhui went on to talk about how advanced his company is, how good its performance is, and how many big names he has come into contact with. His words make no secret of his superiority, as if he is preaching to us "losers". Several other classmates also chimed in, saying which ** dignitaries they knew. I could tell they all wanted to talk about it at this party and prove to others how successful they were.
This kind of flaunting and belittling others makes me very uncomfortable. I'm here to reminisce about the past and renew friendships; Instead of listening to them compare their superiority and show vanity. We used to be so good classmates, but now we have become rivals to each other. I saw Li Siming, who was still lively just now, sitting aside with a gloomy face, her husband died unexpectedly last year, and she must have lived a very hard life taking care of her two children alone. But under the aura of a successful person, her hard work and persistence have been buried. I am saddened by the reality that I only focus on the result and not the process, and that class reunions should not be like this.
Just when Wang Dazhui was triumphant, a luxury car braked in front of the hotel, and Xu Boss walked out of the car. I remember that in the past, Xu was from an ordinary family with average grades, but I didn't expect to be a successful person now. As soon as he appeared, several classmates immediately surrounded him to greet him, and their faces were full of flattery. I heard someone in the corner whispering that the people who walked must be bad mixed and looked down on those who didn't have cars. I looked around, and it was true that the students who came by car were warmly welcomed, while Lin Xiao, who came by bus, and Li Xiaofang, who was walking, were left out in the cold.
This shallow idea of judging a person's achievements only by means of transportation makes me uncomfortable. The car is only a short-lived external symbol, and cannot represent a person's strength and prospects. Lin Xiao is now starting a business, and although she is short of funds, her dreams and perseverance are stronger than anyone else's. Li Xiaofang saves money in order to take care of her old mother, isn't her kindness more precious than a car? However, in the hypocritical comparison of the classmates, the good qualities and the good life are covered up by tangible materials. I hope that everyone can face their hearts, not be deceived by appearances, and learn to appreciate the little things in everyone's life.
Just when the classmates were bragging about their achievements, Ma Ergui's voice rushed to insert the topic again. He excitedly said that he has traveled extensively, knows many bigwigs and celebrities from all walks of life, and recently had dinner with a superstar. The words make no secret of their connections and relationships, as if they are showing off to us. Several other students have also joined in boasting about their connections. Zhang Xiaoming said that he knew a certain political and business tycoon, and Li Xiaogang said that he and a well-known actor were sworn brothers. Every word they say is desperately trying to highlight how strong their network resources are.
I could see that this reunion had turned into a game of vanity and comparison. Everyone is deliberately bragging about how many big people they know, just to gain a sense of superiority among their classmates. This kind of utilitarian behavior makes me very irritable, and I hope that we can put down our bodies, stop comparing with each other, and learn to cherish the friendship between the two lovers is the most important thing. At the climax of the party, the students raised their glasses and drank again, and their words and behaviors were exaggerated and enthusiastic among themselves.
I looked at their hypocrisy and couldn't get interested. Finally, after the host's closing speech, the class reunion came to an end. Everyone got up one after another and left in twos and threes. I stood silently alone, watching their figures drift away, and my heart was mixed. None of the classmates who returned you and me just now came to say goodbye to me, as if I didn't exist at all. At this party, everyone was polite on the surface, but in fact they were hypocritical and contrived. Tonight's scene has greatly reduced my feelings for my old classmates, and I have seen their ugly side.
They don't care about me as an old classmate, they just see each other as objects to show off and compare. A light rain drifted in the sky, reflecting my lonely mood. I looked in the direction of my old classmates leaving, and I felt that our friendship was like this light rain, fleeting. Maybe we're no longer the best confidants, just shadows of the past. The reunion was over, and I was left alone for a long time. At the party, everyone was fighting openly and secretly, and the hypocrisy made me look at them with admiration. However, I know that I shouldn't dismiss a person's life just because of a party.
Perhaps their current achievements are only temporary, and there are infinite possibilities for the future. Lin Xiao is working hard to start a business now, but her dreams and perseverance will eventually blossom; Although Li Xiaogang suffered heavy losses for a while, as long as he does not give up, he will definitely be able to return to the top. I should not take anyone lightly, everyone's life deserves respect. I should not be discouraged by the loneliness of this meeting. Maybe I'm not as good as others in my career now, but as long as I stick to myself, have perseverance and perseverance, I will definitely be able to realize my dreams and shine in life.
I'm still young, and the future is still bright. This gathering made me realize that we should not be blinded by the success or failure of reality, and learn to cherish everyone's life course, including my own. Each of us is growing and deserves to be encouraged and respected. I want to stay positive and not let a party break my confidence, because the possibilities in life are endless. This gathering taught me an unforgettable lesson that no matter what the future holds, it is the most precious thing to rediscover the friendships of the past. We shouldn't care who makes more money and makes stronger friends, but we should cherish the feelings we once had. I decided to tell my old classmates how I felt today, hoping that at the next meeting, we can open our hearts, no longer compare with each other, no longer deliberately show off, but can sit down and talk about the past. We may not be able to go back to the way we used to be, but at least we can regain the true friendship we once had. The bits and pieces that we are inseparable from in those green years are the most valuable wealth in life. I hope that in the days to come, we can be our true selves again and regain the friendship we once had, as always. February** Dynamic Incentive Program
