At ten o'clock in the evening, the sky is orange. Make an appointment with your nephew to run ten kilometers or more on the country roads.
This was a profound run. Because the land beneath our feet once nurtured us, and we all measured it with our steps. At that time, I felt that this land was very big and it always took a long time to walk from one place to another. What about now? We ran on this familiar yet unfamiliar land. In a short time, we completed the distance that took a lot of effort back then. In fact, this land is still this land, nothing has changed. What has changed is our feet, as well as our perspective, vision and pattern of looking at problems.
In the evening in the countryside, the oxygen content in the air is relatively high and there are fewer vehicles, so you can indeed breathe freely. The smell of earth mixed with the smell of cooking smoke came to my nostrils, making me a little intoxicated. In addition, the two men, wearing running clothes and running on the field path, can attract the attention of passers-by. My nephew works away from home, so it is the first time in our lives to have the opportunity to run together, especially in our hometown. The opportunity is very rare, so it is also meaningful.
Life needs rituals to strengthen memory. Many years later, when recalling the long-distance run on the evening of November 3, 2018, there will be psychological ripples.
