The setting sun comes to the window
For thousands of years, the setting sun has served as a "prop" for countless literati and poets to mourn the spring and autumn. In the hearts of many people, the setting sun is the sorrow of separation. No idea. Among the poems describing the sunset, Li Shangyin's "The sunset is infinitely beautiful, but it's almost dusk." and Yang Shen's "The green mountains are still there, and the sunset is red a few times." The two most famous lines are full of the evanescence of life. But for me, the most enjoyable time of the day is when the sun sets and the sun shines in front of the window. Seeing the golden light covering the whole house, the tranquility and comfort of "the sunset smokes the fine grass, and the river reflects the sparse curtains." "the wind is sunny and people are good-natured, and the sunset plays the flute and drum, and a few boats return." comes straight to my heart.
Living in a bustling city and having little money, I can only temporarily rent a small room of 20 to 30 square meters, buy a few pieces of favorite furniture, and call it my own home. In this home, apart from the lack of people, there is no lack of gifts from nature. The chirping of insects and birds at dawn, the sound of pattering when it rains, the first ray of sunshine in the morning, and every ray of wind in the evening. , all made my heart feel as warm as ever, almost making me forget that I had just returned to my hometown in the north from the distant southern country. However, in addition to these foreshadowings that made me feel warm, what allowed me to switch from the memory of one city to the memory of another city without any sense of disobedience was the ever-red sunset.
In the northern summer, sunset is the latest time of the year. Every day at seven or eight o'clock in the afternoon, the setting sun will slowly come to my window, a standard round shape, blood-stained color, gradually moving away from the sky to the west. I like to stand quietly in front of the small desk and stare at her. The warm orange-red changes little by little, lighting up the sky all around with the heat of the whole body, and the pink-purple glow fills the sky. No matter how you look at it, it looks like a masterpiece created by the artist's intentional brushstrokes. I had no choice but to hold my breath and listen carefully, remembering the last breath before the sunset fell into the sky and the face that symbolized aging.
Whenever I am in this situation, I will think of the song my grandmother sang to us when we were children: "The sun rises, hide behind the wall, the setting sun shines, the children are making trouble..." The childish voice is still there Echoing in my ears, this voice has become so familiar in these ten years. It is not only a piece of culture left to us by the old man in that barren era, but also a kind of expectation calling us to return to our hometown; in a trance, the journey from school to work, from one city to another emerged in front of my eyes. , wandering on the streets of the glittering city, sobbing softly in a person's rental house, wiping away tears before dawn to catch the first train to the company, immersed in writing a work summary on the last day of every year, By the way, I would like to make a wish for next year... To this day, everything is changing at its own pace. I know clearly that my original intention of persisting in struggle and being true to myself has never changed.
"At dusk from the foot of the green mountain, the mountain moon follows people back. But wherever they come, they are green and green." There is no need to feel melancholy because the sunset is about to set. If you can regard the years you have passed as one The sunset is the background color that decorates the manuscript paper. If we can regard all the past as an inevitable experience on the road of life, losing is gaining, giving is harvesting, and every day and night of struggle is the time when life dances. While I was thinking this, I began to look forward to arriving as early as seven or eight o'clock tomorrow evening.
