We are the generation of sunshine.

"Who will build this unfinished building,

Who will dominate the future world,

We! We!

Our younger generation!

"

This is a poem that my best friend left the deepest impression on me in middle school. At that time, we were all very young, and the sun was at eight or nine o'clock in the morning, full of hope for the future!

Remember 1955 in the 1950s? We entered the middle school together. Because we are the shortest villains in the class and are arranged in the middle of the first row by the teacher, we may get special care from the teacher. Six years of cold window life in middle school, we have always been deskmates, forged a deep friendship and became different friends. In junior high school, we worked together in the Young Pioneers. He is the squadron leader, and I am the captain. In high school, he became a propaganda member of the General League branch, and I was elected as a propaganda member of the Student Union. In the year of graduation (6 1), we were still the youngest two in our class. On the graduation photo photographed by China Photo Studio, we stood in the front row, one on the left and one on the right. Because neither of us has a good background, and neither of us is a "red five". He was only admitted to the Chinese Department of Teachers College, and I entered the Electrical Department of Engineering University. Because he dropped out of school for one year due to illness during his college years, we graduated together 1967 and went out to the society.

Unexpectedly, in the turbulent 1960 s, life after graduation from college was quite bumpy, sometimes accompanied by difficulties. We have experienced many ups and downs in our own lives. He became a Chinese teacher in middle school, and I went to the workshop as an ordinary electrician. But we didn't give up in difficult times, because we know that life can't be without wind and rain, and after the wind and rain is sunshine; We also know that if a person's life is smooth sailing, he can't deeply experience true happiness. Facing the reality, we encourage each other and interpret the fleeting lush years with a warm and peaceful mind.

However, this is not the whole story. The spring breeze of reform and opening up has changed our destiny, when we expect to be as hot as the sun and as bright as the stars and do more things for the society. Relying on our self-confidence, tenacity and diligence, we have become the lucky ones since the 1980s. We appreciate life and believe in the future!

He is a teacher, writer, journalist and newspaper reporter. As he said before his death: "Teachers cultivate people, writers eulogize people, journalists defend people, and journalists infect people. I feel extremely honored to be able to integrate these four sunshine occupations into the workplace of life. " Yes, his talent is admirable, his works are touching and his appearance is unforgettable.

……

By contrast, I can't compare with him. I am just an extremely ordinary technical and economic management cadre who has been engaged in the first-line production of enterprises. If there is anything I have done, it is to pay taxes for society, earn foreign exchange for the country and make profits for enterprises! Thankfully, I am still playing my own afterheat for the industry I have been engaged in all my life.

Yes! Everyone's life is different, but since that youth, we both have a common desire: the desire for sunshine and the persistent pursuit of sunshine, which may also represent the life pursuit of our generation!
