Life is truly short, don't say 'a long future,' the world is vast, and farewells are endless.

In life, some people drift away from us, never to be met again; when we meet them, we cannot get to know them; after getting to know them, we cannot become familiar with them; after becoming familiar with them, we still have to say goodbye.

1. Years without sound, banquets end, people disperse.

A few days ago, Old Banchang traveled to Guiyang for a night of mahjong with me. While playing mahjong, we talked about the alumni reunion. He said that although he was the class leader, he didn't often contact other classmates. I should take the initiative to contact him and organize a reunion, because it has been 8 years since we graduated, and we will be another two or three years before we can have a reunion!

Old Banchang was right. In everyone's eyes, I was considered to be one of the people who had 'contacted more' classmates. However, when I secretly figured it out, this 'more' was actually just a handful. Four years as classmates, we spent every day together, like brothers and sisters. As soon as we graduated, we scattered across the country, and gradually forgot about each other. When writing this article, I could still remember their faces briefly.

Beautiful ivory towers hold the memories of youth.

Before, the same dormitory brothers were completely finished playing countless sets of cards. I am only two or three hundred kilometers away from him now, but we haven't seen each other since we graduated from university. I saw his WeChat avatar changed to a fat man, and he was completely different from when he was a ball player on the field, running freely and gracefully.

Old Li, my classmate in college, I learned about him through his wife's WeChat. As for the fat man, I even fought with him two years ago, and we were just chatting on QQ.

The same dormitory brothers are drifting apart like this, let alone others. Zhang San, Li Si, Wang Er Ma Zi, their rankings in my memory are almost the same as ordinary people. Same-class friendship, but without special reasons, almost no contact.Of course, in college, besides a few people who lived in the same city, there were also some classmates who came a long way to Guizhou for a reunion.The banquet is over, years without sound

Time is so quiet, like cotton candy, soft and sweet.

2.Mountains and rivers remain unchangedGreen water flows eternally.Just say goodbye, never meet again, or never meet again. This is a wishful thinking, but in reality, this separation has already been determined. I also feel the same way. Many people are unwilling to be separated, but they still leave unexpectedly, and there may never be a reunion.

Really, after living for thirty years, I don't know how many people I've met. But in my memory, those who left a trace, those I could still vaguely remember their names or faces, should number in the thousands. If we add those who were once recognized but can no longer remember them, it should be tens of thousands.Just these people, in my life, drift away like meteors in the sky, just a moment of time. The reunion or death is a farewell, and the absence is inevitable. It's a common phenomenon. In my memory, there were four young people who passed away in a short time, and I was most impressed. When I think about it, it's heartbreaking.

Mr. Old Horse, we came from the same village. I remember Old Horse wrote beautiful calligraphy. A villager told us that even if Old Horse didn't have any skills, he wouldn't be hungry because of his calligraphy. We all admired Old Horse. Every Chinese New Year, all the couplets in our village were written by him, giving people a sense that he was very cultured. However, no one knew that Old Horse died at the age of eighteen – he was hit by a dump truck while riding a bicycle downhill, and he didn't come back from the hospital after being rescued for two days. I told my sister about it, and I couldn't believe it.Life is precious and fragile, you don't know when it will end. So, Shengxie said: 'A person is born, and this doesn't mean it's a matter that can be debated. God has given us this fact. When giving us this fact, He has also guaranteed its result, so death is not a matter that needs to be rushed. Death is a festival that will inevitably come.' Whether it's separation or death, it's a way of leaving, a common phenomenon. It's beyond human control. I was most impressed by four young people who passed away in a short time. Thinking about it makes me feel sad.

Mr. Old Stone Jun, my classmate in high school. We were in the top class, and we were the top student in the county in that year. After graduating from university, when he went to Shanxi to investigate coal mines, he collapsed in the bottom of the mine and didn't come back. I learned this from another classmate, which was heartbreaking.

Miss Juan, a beautiful girl, we were in the same department in university. After graduating from university, we were busy with exams and jobs. One day, we received the news that she was gone – she was hit by a car while going to take the exam, and she died on the spot. The counselor told us this news, which was silent.
