From the early years of reform and opening up to today's business changes. I can't keep up with the times, the whole business mindset is changing too fast, and I've been eliminated in this wave of change.
The change in business model thinking is also to adapt to the needs of the times. In the past, the computer is a luxury endorsement, even the TV is the ordinary people can not afford to consume, cell phone is the same, almost few people can afford to buy. And nowadays, computers, cell phones and cars are no longer the symbols of a few rich people, but the necessities of all families all over the world. Even the way of life consumption payment has changed, from the original cash to cell phone WeChat payment, life is more and more convenient.
But we are in the process of this change, slowly can not find the spirit of happiness.
I remember in 1997, that time just from the rural areas south to Guangdong. With the dream of working hard to change the poor predicament, simple and simple to repeat the days of the week, tired and happy. Every payday, I would go to the post office to send a telegram and fill out a remittance form. Then write a long letter home, when the family in the long wait to receive that a sincere and warm letter of greeting, and the heavy remittance slip.
Immediately after that is in the full work, long waiting for a letter home, in the eager expectation of finally received a letter home, seriously focused on reading the letter of reply to the word by word, those words between the lines of memory in the dribs and drabs are full of parental care and heartache, it is such a day after day, one letter after another home. Carrying the love of loved ones, the warmth of my heart, accompanied me through those difficult days.
Every time in the long wait, the moment of receiving the letter. With excitement and eagerness to read over and over again, especially the parents concerned about the statement, work is busy, but also to take care of their health, take care of themselves. When you are homesick, tired and sleepy, come back to see more, home is always open for you. Whenever the mood is frustrated, so tired that you can not breathe, thinking of distant relatives, parents are still in the field buried hard work, in order to have a little more harvest. When saving food for money in order to be able to pay for my sister's tuition. There are also those powerful and warm words from my parents that encouraged me through winter after winter and ushered in warm spring after spring.
There were also the greetings from my classmates, and every time I received those sincere words, it was my happiest time. This makes me in the hard and boring work more a happy living strength and courage. It also gives me a sense of responsibility and commitment, and every time I go to remit money, my heart is happy. When I think of sharing some of the burden for my family and taking some pressure for my father, I am proud of myself. And every time I receive a letter back home, my father's heartfelt concern and praise, let me feel that I am a useful person, but also from the depths of my heart to feel the love of parents is not only to protect, more is thousands of kilometers away from the loved ones still think about.
Times are changing, slowly from the era of letters, from the long wait into the phone to greet, to today's WeChat era.
And we do not know why, the fast pace of life and convenience. Let us not have the enthusiasm and excitement of the past, do not remember when it started. From a phone call a week to a phone call a month to a phone call a few months.
Even the lively New Year's Eve energy has become diluted, before the New Year's Eve a few days and nights to catch the car. In order to go home for a reunion year, willing to spend a month's salary to take a long-distance bus, and then parents in the village enclosure with a flashlight, looking forward to the cold wind in the dark night, freezing nose and face purple mouth ha ha gas, with a little bit of residual heat to support. Until the body freezes still wait until I arrived home safely to rest assured, to see them when the body has been frozen stiff, but left a hot hot tears, instantly all parts of the body to move. Perhaps that is the magical power of love, although the transportation is inconvenient, muddy roads, but then the eagerness to go home especially miss the days of the Spring Festival reunion.
And now I don't know how long it has been since I went back to my mother's home for New Year's Eve, the better life is, in this fast-paced era. The more you are able to get the most out of your life, the more you are able to get the most out of your life, the more you are able to get the most out of your life. There are feelings of interest, rich relatives will be respectable. No money relatives feel inferior, more and more do not like this kind of interaction. Parents have a sick and difficult, siblings you push me to, no one is willing to take this responsibility and obligation. Even those who are selfish and self-interested can not wait for the old man to go away early, I do not know why often sigh of nostalgia for the era of letters.
Whether between relatives or friends, are so simple and sincere. That a willingness not to seek any return feelings, that a responsibility and responsibility, and that a warm letter with love, is the most lacking in this era.
I miss the long wait for the era of letters, how much I want to return to that slowly waiting for the time of happiness, how much I want to stay forever that a sincere simple warm time.
I don't know when I lifted my pen again and wrote a letter to my late father.
Dear father:
Hello! The first thing you need to do is to get your hands on a new one, and you'll be able to do that. You are good in heaven, your life is for our family, tireless work, toil and complaint. But in the end, you did not enjoy a day of happiness, you left us forever.
Father, our four sisters are now living quite well, the eldest brother many years ago has long been transferred to the civil service, and also in the unit as a key position, the salary can be good. He also built a villa in his hometown, and your eldest grandson and granddaughter are both parents and have good workplaces.
I and my second brother and sister are in a neighborhood, each other had a small conflict, but that does not affect our brother-sister friendship. Now we all help each other, birthdays and festivals are together with the party often string door. Especially mother, we four sisters are very filial, mother has now learned to dance, but also learned to play a small mahjong. Every time I go home, I see her follow the village aunts and sisters-in-law dancing happy, I feel that she is not like an eighty-year-old woman, her body is getting more and more robust, and her personality is not as impatient as it used to be. She is not so worried, and she has more and more smiles on her face. More and more gentle temperament, every time I chat with her, she also enlightened me that: "you also work hard half a lifetime, you can take a break, the children have graduated from college, do not worry, the day will get better and better." The first time I saw her, I heard her say, "I don't know what to say, but I'm not sure if I'm going to do it.
At this point, the anxious mood instantly stabilized a lot. Yes, the times are changing, but each of our days are indeed better and better, but the heart seems to be missing something, may be that is the cause of missing relatives. Although you are not with us, but you will always live in our hearts, you will always be our favorite father.
