Time flies, 20 12 years passed quickly. The "end of the world" that made a lot of noise at the end of the year was just a prank that was boring to a certain extent; On the fourth day of the Lunar New Year's Day, the date was homophonic, and when it was very festive, the people of the Civil Affairs Bureau who got together to run the little red book were packed.
I remember the last day of the year before last, that is, 20 1 1 year/February 3 1 day, I set out from Grenoble, a city with heavy rain at the foot of the Alps, and crossed the snow-covered mountain pass to sunny Provence. Then I went to the Toulon military port specially, just to see the pride of France-the nuclear-powered aircraft carrier "De Gaulle". At that time, according to intelligence, the aircraft carrier had been resting in Toulon after returning from the Libyan war. Of course, I finally saw the aircraft carrier, but it was a bit hazy.
That night, in a remote hotel in Marseille, we ushered in the New Year. Get up early the next day and come to the southernmost tip of the land around Marseille, facing the East China Sea, welcoming the first sunshine of the New Year. In the center of Marseille, we climbed to the highest point of Marseille, where we had a panoramic view of the port and the city, as well as the island where the Count of Monte Cristo was held.
There is a saying that the experience on the first day of the new year has some mysterious omens for the next year. In fact, on the first day of the new year, everyone is trying to make a good sign. China people have some difficulties. They have to face two New Years a year, but they can also win two good prizes.
The experience of New Year's Day in 20 12 seems to indicate that the next year will be a year of wandering around. A year has passed, and this sign is still relatively accurate.
This is the last day of 20 12, and it is already in Lisbon, Portugal. In fact, until a week ago, I wasn't sure where I would say goodbye to 20 12 years and welcome 20 13 years, because I was on a long trip and there were too many uncertainties along the way.
Finally, according to the specific situation, I decided to design a stage for myself to bid farewell to 20 12 years. That is to go to Cape Rocca, the westernmost point of the European continent, to watch the last sunset of the year. Although Cape Rocca is only about 40 kilometers west of Lisbon, it takes me two hours to take the subway from Lisbon to Rosso Railway Station, then take the train to sintra, and then toss the infamous No.403 bus to Cape Rocca, which makes me carsick and flustered.
How wonderful it is to watch the last sunset of the year in the westernmost part of Eurasia. But often the ideal is beautiful, but the reality is often cruel. If you just spend two hours on the road, it will be stormy all the way, and there is no possibility of watching the sunset, which is really depressing.
Before America was discovered, Cape Rocca was once considered as the end of the world. Portugal's most famous poet sang a song here. This famous saying, translated from ancient times, is "The land ends here, and the sea begins in Sri Lanka". It is still engraved on the monument in Cape Roca and in my heart.
At that time, I was standing on the edge of a 100-meter-high cliff in Cape Rocca, facing extremely violent storms and heavy rains, overlooking the gray ocean and sky that could not distinguish the boundaries, and watching the white waves beating violently against the steep rock wall. I'm thinking that missing the sunset may not be a bad thing, because there is a storm, which is the true meaning of Cape Rocca. The ancients who lived here for more than 500 years, knowing that the future was so dangerous, resolutely set sail and explored the new continent. This great ambition excited me in the rain.
After coming back from Cape Rocca, I had a big meal in a small shop opposite Rossio Station, which was a reward for the past year and was ready to welcome the New Year. It is said that there is a grand fireworks show in the commercial square in the center of the old city of Lisbon to welcome the New Year, but it has been raining intermittently and bitterly cold outside, so I chose to go back to an inn in an old house early.
At night, unconsciously, I suddenly heard an unscrupulous cry from the window, and then the sound of broken bottles. I suddenly realized that 20 13 years had come. Then I saw gorgeous fireworks rising in the night sky in the distance.
Because of the geographical location of Lisbon, it is impossible to see the sunrise from the vast sea, so I slept soundly on the first morning of 20 13. Then climb the small peak in the market center and have a look at the famous castle on the mountain. There are many climbers, but the castle is not open, and everyone turns back in front of the castle gate. But fortunately, the mountain has a wide view and a large area of Lisbon can be seen. The vast Ruhe River, shrouded in mist, is like a fairyland under the sunshine.
Although the 20 13 year is coming, looking back on the past year, I really encountered many things and had many unusual experiences. This is the experience and harvest of life, which will be used for a lifetime.
20 12 10 One thing that came to mind was the 70th anniversary of Dongan No.1 Middle School. Half a year ago, I was really surprised to learn that No.1 Middle School was going to celebrate its seventieth anniversary. Looking back on the 60th anniversary, I followed a large number of students to practice juvenile Dragon and Tiger Boxing in my daily life. On the anniversary, the streets lined up at the gate and warmly welcomed guests. It's been ten years. It seems like a lifetime ago. I think, in my present situation, I have more money than I do. If the next decade passes in a blink of an eye, and if I make small achievements in the celebration of the eightieth anniversary, I can still accept the greetings from the "alumni" after the twentieth century.
It's quick to say, it will be the third year in the blink of an eye. In 20 12 years, many people of the same age got married and missed the wedding reception. I just arrived in 20 13 and missed the wedding banquet of two girlfriends. I hope I didn't miss their full moon wine.
Because of this, when we come to 20 13, we have to face something particularly different and meaningful. For example, it is very likely to start work. This is the intersection of two stages of life. Real life should set sail at that moment.
Someone asked me if I had traveled around the world and had any new travel plans. This is really hard to explain in a few words. I wonder why I love mountains and seas so much. I really want to be a bird flying at the poles of five continents, and I hope to travel around the world for a fast fish. But a responsible and ambitious person must face many realities. So, life goes on. Gesture, maybe I have a dream of traveling in my heart.
In the new year, the river of destiny remains mysterious. Only when people yearn for family ties can the hearts of love and friendship remain unchanged. I sincerely wish everyone to live in a hopeful self and a kind society.
