Like a Dream: Longing
Written by/Yang Guang Xin Chao
Flowing Yangtze River in Dreams
The common people are afflicted with illness, a sorry state
Shut the door and pray to heaven
Bless my doctors and brave warriors
Swiftly surrender
Swiftly surrender
Victory against the epidemic is within sight!
2020.2.20
Looking at the small river in my hometown
Written by/Ru Xi
2020 was a particularly special year, with the whole nation staying home, filled with blessings, comfort, reflection, and anticipation... My cat was home for over a month, feeling listless and discouraged waiting for the reopening notification!
I usually work hard, meticulously at work, and manage my life in an organized manner, and I pay my car loan and rent each month, even though I have no savings. This lifestyle is quite comfortable. However, once I stop, I suddenly realize that the test isn't just my physical immunity, but also my financial immunity, connected to my emotional immunity... The longer I wait, the more anxious I become, on day 32 of the shutdown, I feel a breakdown of emotion…
I spend my days without distinguishing between morning and evening, anxiety rises from stars to the setting sun, never stopping. This night is terrifying, leaning by the window, gazing at the river under the moonlight, it continues to flow forward... Whether the road ahead is smooth or not, it will not stop, only slower... Life is also like this
No matter how difficult the hurdle, it will eventually pass. What you need to do is adjust your mindset, observe the changes, and be prepared. It is correct to live beautifully, but you must also be prepared. Otherwise, when difficulties come, you won't be panicked and just afraid!
River, river, always educating my thoughts, when I am lost, I look at your resilience, listen to your faith, my direction becomes clear!Note: CoupletTone and RhythmConsistentEven Flow
