Features: Many summers have passed like this. Looking up, I see the traces of birds that flew past years ago. Many dreams slowly and healthily grow in this sentimental season. Sunshine and rain, as well as the humid monsoon slowly coming from southeast. Year after year, wearing different clothes and gazing at the same clouds. The sky sometimes clears and sometimes overcast. How many bridges have I walked under with my head down. Turning back, it’s another year of blooming willows. This summer passed in a rush. Even when busy, there was no time to look back. Busy writing articles, taking photos, laying out pages, and writing plans. Suddenly, I grew up. Started wearing mature clothes, started speaking maturely, started telling others I worked, started giving them my own business cards. For a moment, I was so busy that even when sleeping, I thought about tomorrow’s work. But in the end, it was happiness—doing what I loved. Cherishing everything before me, because everything that came was so hard. Taking a step, arguments began; taking two steps, we reconciled. Cried and laughed, clouds gathered and scattered. Those who have watched me walk this path, I no longer know how to tell you. Growth still stands firmly before me. Ideals shine with golden light, sounds echo in the sky, rolling forward. There is an island in the world, away from the mortal world and the noisy crowds. Days and nights rise and set. The island’s plants wither and flourish. A moment, a season; a season, a year. The last, bloomed with the last flowers in summer.
