Letter from Home (2022)

old man,

everything is fine.

Time flies so fast, I passed my 30s and got used to my 30s. You’ve been gone for 5 years, an unspeakable 5 years. Sometimes there will be a little bit of luck, thank you that you did not continue to live with the pain, the bad world will only make your life worse. In the past year, I have seen too much unkindness and malice towards the sick. Remember when I wrote in 2020:

The whole world is mutating, no one goes to the streets, no one goes to the mall, no one goes to the park. You need to wear a mask wherever you go, and you should sanitize your hands whenever you get the chance. Disease kills people, it’s not a joke. All living places began to be closed and managed, like the eve of the war. Some scholars say that this is a new BC/AC, the era before the epidemic, and the era after the epidemic. The economy is in recession, many people are out of work, and life is getting tough.

In any case, I did not expect that we are still living in the ravages of the virus to this day. The economy is worse, more people are out of work, and life is harder. And all the problems I mentioned at that time, in the past few months, have intensified and been repeated. It’s ridiculous and sad that the world really split into BC and AC, and also into two parallel worlds, our country and other countries.

In the past two years, various struggles have continued, fighting against the epidemic, against the economy, and against the people. Now I look around the whole earth, and the smoke of gunpowder is everywhere, visible and invisible. But grandma has been on the phone for decades: you can’t fight people, you can’t steal things. It seems that in her eyes, there are only two things in the world that are dangerous and should not be done. Every time I hear her say this on the phone, I smile happily, and it seems like it’s business as usual. Another moment that calmed me down was reading. Reading is much less utilitarian, also because after reading some books for years and months, I found that reading is useless, indeed useless. But it happens to be useless, so I no longer take reading too seriously. I must absorb some nutrients to be considered as reading. The current state is similar to opening books.

Talk about life. I resigned, and I will resign after all. I can fully imagine what you might look like when I told you to resign and change jobs. You just wanted to take an entrance examination, an internship, or a graduation decision to come to Beijing. I can’t forget that face. But I also know that compared to my mother, you will support my decision more, and you will always be the person behind my back, even if you are weak. The new job is very good, the new leaders and new colleagues are very good, and the new challenges are also great. But I have learned to look at these things dialectically. All challenges are nothing more than nodes in the life process. Personal efforts are important, but the process of history must also be taken into account. You must be familiar with this sentence. experience.

Dudu went to the kindergarten adaptation class for a few days. It was better than I expected, but there were also unexpected situations that I didn’t expect. Don’t worry, they are all positive and normal. Although I went on and off for two weeks, classes have been suspended, but it also shows that adults can’t help a child’s growth very much. In fact, there is nothing to do except love him. We never talk about love ourselves, maybe when we were kids, but I forgot. In fact, I’m not used to talking about love, but I always say it to him, or express it in another way. It’s better to be direct or indirect, I’m not sure, or it’s still too much self-seeking, and I always think about it.

The house is also fine, my grandfather was a little out of breath, so I moved to another house, the fifth floor moved to the third floor, I never went back, I only watched it in the video. Mom is okay, she never tells the truth, I can only think she is okay. This year, I made a lot of phone calls, but I still can’t go back to my hometown, and I miss it more and more. Nowadays, there are more and more things you can do, but less and less things you want to do. Some people understand that you have the habit of doing a few fixed things at a fixed time. In one’s life, there are only a handful of things that one really likes. If I find some, I like some, and if I like some, I will make some.

I still hope that the epidemic will pass soon. In my opinion, the “past” is to travel freely without wearing a mask. In this way, I may have more things to share with you than the negative energy in my head that I don’t want to write on paper. From the two o’clock and one line from home to the company, to the two o’clock and one line from the bed to the computer, how can life be interesting? I still like an interesting life, but I believe that next year’s letter will definitely tell you a lot of new things.

For example, Dudu’s life in kindergarten…

For example, what places did we go to?

For example, I finally went back to my hometown…

for example……

Too many examples.

Yu Buyi, you take care of yourself, I take care of the family. Each performs its own duties, each uses it to the best of its ability, and each has its own beauty.
