I have seen others write year-end summaries before, some people wait until the middle of the next year to write the summary of the previous year. Now, let me set a precedent by writing the year-end summary in advance.
Review of the Year#
Different from the uncertainties of 2020, in 2022, we got used to the pandemic, and it no longer surprises us. My parents, as medical staff, are still arranged to work during critical times. Around September this year, my mother received a thank-you letter from our city's epidemic prevention and control headquarters, praising her as the "most beautiful retrograde traveler." There was also a certificate of honor, which seems uncommon for those who have been working for a long time, right?
In March of this year, the first version of the Chinese blog list navigation was launched. I still can't imagine what it will become? Currently, it seems to only hold a number of blogs that can be proud of being included... Also, I helped improve the situation of the review process.
Actually, there are only a few things that happened throughout the year. Those few things, if mentioned now, don't seem to have much significance. It's not because of the list navigation that the entire blogosphere is connected. Nor is it because of us that the ecosystem of reviews has improved. To put it simply, we weren't busy all year, we didn't do anything all year.
In June 2022, it was the month of the fierce battle for the high school entrance exam. I still remember now: when the broadcast announced "candidates can enter the examination room," we crossed the cordon and slowly went upstairs. As I climbed the stairs, the broadcast played the exam instructions, and almost all the scenes of the three years of junior high school flashed before my eyes at that moment of going upstairs. Ah! Time passes so quickly, it was only in September that I entered high school, and now it's already the mid-term exam. If you say time passes very slowly... the three years of junior high school weren't that slow either, look, this blink of an eye has passed.
So, what was I busy with in junior high school? Busy, busy, but is there anything worth reminiscing about in high school? I think not. When the time comes for life to end, and I look back on what I did in my life, what is there in high school that I can reminisce about? In the long river of time, we individuals are so fragile that we can only gently sing our own songs on a swaying boat.
In the dormitory, some roommates have lost their loved ones, and one has never even met their grandmother. I have not experienced the pain of losing a loved one, but I can imagine what that means to a person. Death is so close, yet so terrifying.
Now, some classmates want online classes, including myself before. But now, thinking about it, what does online classes mean? It means there have to be cases, it means people losing their health. Building the joy of playing games and skipping online classes on the pain of others seems a bit unethical to think about now.
Once during a physical education class, I had a conversation with a freshman. That childish tone, innocent inquiries, as if I saw myself pretending to know nothing in the first year of junior high school or even elementary school. Ah! Time passes so quickly that I can't sit quietly under a big tree and sing the new songs I've learned.
This year, first Sri Lanka, now Lebanon. The surging tide of the world is causing one small country after another to be washed up on the beach. The fate of the people of the world is interconnected, and we are all not doing well. If they are not doing well, we won't be doing well either. Do you think this world is peaceful? Can you still place a quiet desk in it? If you say this world is not peaceful, our situation seems to be getting more and more severe.
After the high school entrance exam this year, I played "Genshin Impact." At least it is a virtual world that I can reminisce about now, it brought me joy at that time, a kind of free joy.
Things to Do Next Year#
In my psychology class, I was asked to "be happy, busy, and stay healthy" in high school. Now thinking about it, I am not happy when the mid-term exam results come out, not busy sitting idle every day, and my health is not good.
There were no milestone events this year, and I feel very inferior and guilty because this year I was busy with things that now seem meaningless to me.
Now, with the support of my parents, I am bringing my website back to China so that I can write blogs peacefully. Without being disturbed by the current situation, cultivate my own piece of land on the internet.
I really like to make plans, writing weekend plans at school, hoping to accomplish more things on weekends. But when the weekend actually arrives, I throw the plan out of my mind and don't care about anything. It's also difficult for me to look ahead to the next year and not write a New Year's vision.
