From small to large, what I saw and heard, China Red, has been with my life and has been integrated into my bone marrow. I remember when I was a child, every New Year's Eve, my mother would cook red eggs. After 8 o'clock in the evening, my mother will find a triangular bracket and put it on the brazier, and put the eggs selected in advance into the casserole to cook. The charcoal fire was very strong, and before long, it was steaming. After the eggs are cooked, mother carefully paints them with dye. Whenever I see a big plate of red eggs lying there with a playful smirk, my mouth always drools. Mom said that if children eat red eggs, they will be able to get rid of diseases and disasters in the coming year and bring good luck. When I grow up, I know it's just my mother's wish, but now I still feel heartache when I see red eggs, and I begin to believe that eggs painted with eye-catching China red can bring me great happiness and good luck.
The year before last, my brother who served in the army was sent to Liberia for a UN peacekeeping mission. My aunt, who has just been married for less than four months, has mixed feelings after learning the news. Peacekeeping is a glorious thing. However, she is very worried about her brother's safety. During that time, the media often reported that the situation in Liberia was turbulent. However, she is strong. She prepared a pair of red underwear for her brother a week before he went abroad, and specially knitted a red rope to tie it firmly around his ankle. My sister-in-law said, "Don't worry, I'll wait for you at home ..."
Participating in peacekeeping is a great event, and I told my parents in the countryside the news. My mother calmly said that this was a good thing and sent a package to my eldest brother as soon as possible. Besides a pair of musicians (my brother is sweating like a pig), there is also a red handkerchief with a pinch of brown soil wrapped in red paper. When my brother and I first came to Beijing, we were not used to it. I took a lot of medicine, but it didn't work. Finally, my mother sent us a pinch of dirt to wash, so that we could get better ... Eight months later, my brother returned safely. He told me that in Liberia, every time he thinks about us, he will take out the bag of soil and have a look. It is very warm at the sight of it ... Surprisingly, a piece of soil wrapped in a simple red cloth bears such a heavy emotional weight.
On New Year's Day this year, I met Hong Ling, a former colleague who came back from Paris to visit relatives in Xiushui Street, Beijing. Hong Ling came to Xiushui Street to buy Chinese knots. She said that when she was in China, she was not very interested in Chinese knots. I can go abroad, especially when I was walking alone in the streets of Paris, I accidentally saw a bright red Chinese knot, and suddenly found that it was so thrilling and beautiful, and a rare long-lost shock pounded my soul, and my deep homesickness was temporarily comforted. When she returns to Paris this time, she will take some to hang in the dormitory. In this way, as soon as I got home, I felt as warm and happy as my home in Beijing. A red rope, so three winds and two winds; A kind of happiness and warmth is woven in this way.
Yes, life should be colorful. I like colorful life, and I prefer the warm and shining China red in colorful life. Especially in the festivals when winter goes and spring comes, my affection for China Red has reached its acme.
I still remember a classic advertisement: "I prefer red, especially China red". China Red seems to have some magic, which is irresistible. It absorbs the most vital elements of the morning sun, gathers the most beautiful and charming light of the sunset glow, transpires the extreme temperature of the fire, condenses the thickest and most active components of blood, blends the most delicate emotions of acacia and red beans, and infuses the most mature image of late autumn of maple leaves. ...
You see, China is red, and her heart is in her body, everywhere, all the time. Now, although it is freezing outside the window, "home" is as warm as spring, and there is no color more suitable for this loving festival than China Red! During the Spring Festival, our life became a veritable "red" life. In 2008, China is destined to become a classic. I wish the people of China bold progress in the "red" blessing, and hope that the "red" life of China people will become more and more prosperous.
