Insomnia addiction.

   It's almost 3 a.m., and a torrential downpour is pouring down outside, seemingly trying to wash away the unpleasant, unspoken sorrows of the day. I, probably because I took a long afternoon nap, am still awake. I remember someone telling me to read some writing when I have time; it can be very rewarding.   Perhaps it's because I always have someone by my side when I encounter difficulties that I don't feel life is so unbearable. But ultimately, many people will leave. Maybe some things can only get better if you endure them yourself.   On these sleepless nights, I need to keep reminding myself that things will get better, that things will get better. Even though I know the current situation is terrible, and things might get even worse in the future, it's okay. It will all pass. Whether it's pleasant or unpleasant, as long as you want it to, it will pass, right?

Overlord's Tears

   "My clothes grow looser, yet I have no regrets, for I am wasting away for her." The song of Farewell My Concubine, a tale of heroism, has left behind an enduring sorrow.   Red-tasseled spears, golden armor, meteor hammers, swift steeds—the land of Yan and Huang, teeming with heroes, fearless against a hundred men. Countless trials of life and death forged their heroic nature. In those days, he lifted a cauldron with one hand, his might boundless, but heaven was jealous of his talent, leaving him only with tears streaming down his face by the Wujiang River.   That beautiful figure, it carried away my thoughts. In that vast sea of ​​people, I chose you, a promise made on the Stone of Three Lifetimes, five hundred glances in a past life. I roamed the world with my sword, just to win your smile; my iron cavalry trampled through mountains and passes, just to reach the willow-lined streets east of Luoyang.   The swing, long since without its butterfly rope, the ivy, no longer as...

In the night sky, the stars follow.

   Today is July 16, 2017, the fifth day of the "Sailing" social practice team's rural outreach activity at Shangrong Primary School in Qinba Town, Wuchuan City. Although the typhoon made landfall in Hainan, our area was also affected, experiencing torrential rain.   Despite the heavy rain during the day and the low-hanging black sky at night, some stars still managed to shine. A few wisps of gray-white clouds drifted across the inky black sky, making it resemble a traditional Chinese ink painting. There was no bright moonlight, only the black sky, but thankfully, the stars kept us company in this lonely night. Due to the influence of Typhoon Talas, the fourth typhoon of the year, there weren't many stars in the sky. Compared to the starry night two days ago, today's stars appeared dim and lifeless, their light faint. However, these dim and faint stars adorned this vast ink painting, their twinkling adding a touch of charm to this otherwise monotonous scene.   The...

Cultivating character and fostering friendship

  On July 13th, the third day of the "Sailing" social practice team, a new course—calligraphy—began. The students initially showed great interest in calligraphy. When the teacher brought calligraphy tools such as brushes and Xuan paper into the classroom, many students came over to observe curiously. The   class began with the teacher introducing the structure of the brush and how to hold it. The students watched with wide, curious eyes, then picked up their brushes and followed the teacher's steps to imitate the brushes. After correcting the students' grips, the teacher demonstrated a basic stroke in regular script—the horizontal stroke—on the blackboard. The students practiced on their paper, and their movements were quite impressive. Due to time constraints, the students only learned the horizontal stroke in the morning. In the afternoon, the teacher taught them the vertical stroke and the dot stroke. After practicing the basic strokes,   the students, under the te...

Living and working in the sunshine

To improve children's practical skills, help them understand the hardship of labor, and foster a greater appreciation for the fruits of others' labor and their current happy lives, the "Three Visits to the Countryside" team—the Qihang Social Practice Team—decided to conduct labor education. Labor practice is the foundation of labor education. The labor class focuses on practical work, integrating ideological education into the process. It organically combines ideological education with cultivating good habits and acquiring knowledge and skills, striving for a unity of practicality and education. Based on the actual situation, the Qihang Social Practice Team included "weeding on campus" in the labor curriculum. On the day of labor class, students brought weeding tools from home, such as hoes and sickles, to school. They lined up and marched to the school playground to begin weeding. Each class had its own designated area, and everyone spread out, each occupy...

"Embryonic development" illustrates the weight of maternal love.

"The battle has finally begun!" With each ring of the bell, we stood on the three-foot-wide platform of our teaching careers. The night before, my heart was filled with anxiety and unease; I tossed and turned, unable to sleep soundly. This was the most uncertain lesson I'd ever given; there was no trial lesson, just a direct entry into the battlefield. Now, it was finally our turn.With the children's greetings of "Hello, teacher!", our nervousness subsided. Our eyes and hearts were filled with them, thinking about how to guide their thinking and elicit the answers I wanted. The topic of this lesson was embryonic development, and we were teaching second and third graders. Because there were some technical terms like "fertilized egg," "placenta," and "umbilical cord," we used comics and videos to help them understand more vividly. The students were particularly excited when we explained fetal heart development and the mother...

It would be great if we could just quit.

It seems that cyberbullying has become so rampant lately that even ignoring it doesn't guarantee escape.This year is my first year fully immersed in society. It's also been extremely easy to break down—yes, mentally! Neither work nor relationships seem to be going my way. I definitely need to keep trying at work , but as for relationships, I shouldn't force things . If you can't get close to someone, it's better to just withdraw.
