Today is the Mid-Autumn Festival again, and tonight is the full moon. Although the whole family cannot be reunited, we place our deep thoughts on the full moon in the sky, letting the homesickness be released in this poetic and rational light.
Although it is a unit with less than 600 people, it is only responsible for the maintenance and repair of railway signaling equipment, but it is located at every station along the entire northern Shaanxi Railway for more than 1,500 kilometers, like Sentinels stick to their posts every day and night, guarding the safety and smoothness of the railway and ensuring the safe operation of the trains.
Today is the Mid-Autumn Festival, so are they. Tonight, under the Mid-Autumn Moon, so are they.
Mid-Autumn Festival reunion is a traditional festival of the Chinese nation; Mid-Autumn moon appreciation is an ancient specialty of the Chinese nation.
In this festival, no matter you are south of the mountains, north of the water, or under the clouds or above the sea, you will raise your glass to the moon on this fragrant night of golden osmanthus. The loneliness of being far away from home and the longing for relatives and friends will all be beautifully expressed in this elegant tranquility and this fragrant wine bottle.
Yes, the bright moon is in the sky, looking towards my hometown. Who doesn’t miss the scene of admiring the moon in his hometown when he was a child? He doesn’t miss the childlike beauty of playing with his friends under the moon. He doesn’t miss the sleepless moonlight as a family on a full-moon night in his hometown. He doesn’t miss the school days with his friends on campus. The sweetness of walking under the moonlight, the connection between souls and the harmony of souls and pulses, etc., without missing love and waiting for the moon with a close friend by the river, etc. These picturesque past events?
I like the reserve of the Mid-Autumn Moon Night. It makes me feel a little attached and a little happy in my memories and longings. Although every bit of the past cannot be revisited, the Mid-Autumn Moon remains so delicate and white every year. She is clearly a token of love. Year after year the people have gone, and every year has been illuminated. It’s no wonder that literati from ancient times to the present like to compare the bright moon to eternity, probably because of this affectionate and constancy.
I also like the thousands of thoughts on the Mid-Autumn Moon Night. The longing for family, friends, and the past is actually a freehand painting with thick colors. The autumn wind is bleak, the emotions are moved by the heart, and the artistic conception is in my heart. Eating mooncakes and telling the story of Chang'e and Wu Gang in the Moon Palace is actually just a way of borrowing the topic. Its real intention is to use the tranquility of the Mid-Autumn Moonlight Night to release a tender and beautiful feeling towards the one you love.
However, admiring the moon in the Mid-Autumn Festival, while longing for the happy past, also adds a bit of sadness. This sadness comes from the irreplaceable saying that "the beautiful scenery will never be restored again, and people should feel melancholy on this day." The interview; comes from the sad pages, the lines of bitter tears and countless emotions that I read when reading the moon; and it also comes from the lament of "Tonight the bright moon is in my eyes, I don't know who is missing in autumn thoughts".
But no matter what, sorrow and longing have always been twin brothers who will never leave. Sorrow arises from longing, deep missing is sorrow, and the end of sorrow is happiness. Otherwise, why would people look forward to the Mid-Autumn Festival so much every year, and why would people praise this cold full moon so much!
Holding a handful of moonlight in my arms, I feel solemn, transparent and a wonderful carrier. She gave me infinite sustenance. Let me express my homesickness on this moonlit night and feel the happy past.
I feel like this, but what will happen to the railway employees who are still sticking to their jobs at this moment? How can they pin their love on Haoyue?
In this beautiful moment where thousands of families are reunited, toasting to the moon, drinking and talking. However, they are meticulously adjusting the equipment in the skylight point, cleaning and tinkering with the rumbling of large machines (the construction of the Western Line will not stop during the Mid-Autumn Festival), or carefully checking the equipment usage curves in the computer monitoring room. Although they can't toast to the moon and have fun with wine, they express their feelings in another way in "the clear light remains the same for thousands of miles, and the thoughts of all eyes have the same origin": a sense of responsibility to stick to their posts and ensure safety; a sense of responsibility for hard work. The spiritual sentiment of one person uniting thousands of families; the sentiment of being a role model for millions of people to learn from and admired by millions of people.
Thinking of this, I suddenly felt that our railway workers were so cute. They left their families and their families behind, gave up their comfort, and came to this rolling loess slope and this lonely, sparsely populated station, for the sake of the responsibility in their hearts. Especially the young employees who have joined the workforce in the past two years. They come from different provinces such as Northeast China, Shandong, and Guangxi. They have never been far away from their hometowns and parents. They grew up under the care of their parents and are their parents' apples and daughters. However, at this time, together with the masters who stuck to their posts, they were running back and forth, busy. Although there is no trace of homesickness on their faces. But as the union chairman of the unit and their parent, I deeply feel the homesickness deep in their hearts.
So, under the beautiful moonlight, I picked up a pen and wrote down my deep feelings and expressed my admiration. And in the form of mobile phone messages, I send my most sincere, sincere and best wishes to every railway employee who is far away from home and sticking to his job: Thank you for your hard work, my colleagues. Happy Mid-Autumn Festival.
What a beautiful, affectionate Mid-Autumn moon.
Happy, different kind of Mid-Autumn Festival.
