Xin’an Evening News Commentary: Life is More Than the Present Moment; Tomorrow Will Be Better
This is a special Lantern Festival.
It might be like yesterday and the day before yesterday – same as before, wandering back and forth between the living room and bedroom, spending time on phones, and longing for the outside world. It's definitely different from last year and the year before yesterday – no temple fairs, no riddles, no fireworks, no crowds. But this is life, and we need to treat it seriously.
There are no days to waste.
It's not noisy, it doesn't mean it's not warm. How long has it been since you made a meal for your family? How long since you've seriously played with your children? Now is the time. Children no longer need to ask 'Where has Dad gone?' Wives no longer need to worry about whether you've drunk too much and can't come home. Whether it's a three-person family or a four-generation gathering, every day of togetherness is worth cherishing.
Unable to go to work or school doesn't mean being idle. Remote work and online learning – technology is so developed. We must keep up. From online courses for all levels to various fitness tutorials at home, opening a computer is beneficial, study hard, seize the moment, and make the most of our time.
Professor Zhong Nanshan said, 'The turning point hasn't arrived yet.' We still need to stay home, but we also see good news from the frontline of epidemic prevention: the number of new confirmed cases in China decreases daily; more and more patients are discharged from the hospital…
The sun will eventually dispel the clouds, and spring flowers will replace winter snow. Standing on this miraculous ground that can be built in 10 days, we are full of confidence and patience –
Family members are around, hope is ahead, we are not afraid to stay home. When we break through obstacles and promote reform, we also did not lose heart. Today, we won't lose heart. Because we believe –
Life doesn't stop in the present; tomorrow will be better!
Sincerely say: Festival greetings! Wish all those fighting on the frontlines of epidemic prevention, wish all of us together…
