On the Spring Festival, I waited for 364 days and nights

preface

For a long time in the past, poor mountainous areas, left-behind children are all the news media attention and pursuit of the hot spot. The long walk to school, the dilapidated schools and teaching AIDS, the stretched playgrounds and textbooks, are constantly in the news. In front of the camera, the children have bright smiles and clear eyes all the time. It seems that no matter what the circumstances are, the imaginary world is so aboveboard. We are always asking, what is the so-called happiness? Where have the dreams and fantasies of my youth gone? But in the end, it turns out that in the eyes of children, the world has been shining, happiness, fantasy and hope has been deeply rooted in their hearts. That’s what they taught us, and that’s what we had when we were younger. At the invitation of netease charity and amazon China “book road kids” student composition solicitation, we selected several excellent thesis essays and published them here. Once, the beautiful world that we have in our hearts is all here.
The title is “Family love”

“Reunion with family is the most important thing in the New Year.”

What is the year

Yang Yunlin, Class 87, Grade 7, Perfect Primary School, Baiyangxi Center, Luxi County, Hunan Province

There is only one day out of 365 days that I love, and that is year. New Year is a new beginning, but also the old memories. I love his new, also miss, also fantasy, also miss. Although “he” is short, but is not ordinary, may be the watch of millions of children, may be a tearful smile.

Year is the last day, is also the most abundant day, talking about the “annual dinner” is a different taste. Annual banquet can be rich, chicken duck fish, mountain delicacies have everything, but also can feel uncomfortable because of too greasy, want to eat simple a bit of food, so Chinese cabbage, radish, agaric what also can have. In my eyes, an annual feast is as good as a royal feast!

This is the taste of the year, here contains a year of happiness, anger, sad, countless bitterness, endless sweet taste. We can know how many hardships lie behind this feast. Every ingredient is hard-won, just like what we pay in a year. But the pay must have a return, there must be results.

The most important thing is the reunion with family members. “We are one family” is the only way to make a New Year.

It doesn’t matter whether you have a decent, fancy party or candy or new clothes. The most important thing is home. What is home? Home is not a fixed place, where there are relatives is home. In a “family”, the most important thing is not “family” but “people”. No family comes to a home. Only with family can we get together at home. Perhaps in the busy year, only this day has the most leisurely, the most relaxed, in this firecrackers season fireworks open colourful moment, we get together with our families, laughing. Make the day, make the 24 hours count! Treasure this time with your family.

My childhood years, and is the root of my dreams, when his father and mother came back, they come back with my 364 – day dreams, candy, clothes, the most important thing is a double love, more to think about if you and your family separation for 364 days, even if only one minute together is a good thing, if you want to miss, if not, then wait for a year!

“He” is the god in my eyes, its taste is always so sweet, this is the most happy smell. “Year” waiting for year, we are together.

The happiest thing is the company of parents

Qu Beminghua, Class 1, Grade 4, Riha Township Central School, Zhaojue County, Sichuan Province

It was a cold, windy, early winter night. I jumped together with the stars outside the window, has been looking out of the window of the stars can not sleep, the calm night sky suddenly across a meteor. I hurried up to make a wish to the meteor – mother’s illness can get better soon, parents can go home quickly.

At that time, my mother was ill in the county, my father also went to take care of my mother, there are only two people in the family, my brother and I always look forward to my parents can go home early.

I remember when I was very young, my mother was always weak and sickly, and my father did all the work at home. When I was a child, I always thought that I was a stone on my father’s shoulders, which would only add to his burden. Every day to see his father sweat, the heart felt very sad, feel useless, in addition to eat, sleep what can not. So, every day for the rest of my life, I said to myself, “Yes, I can.” “I will help my father to lighten his burden.”

In this way, parents call to ask me how at home, I will grit my teeth and insist that “it’s ok, I’m not afraid, I can take good care of my brother, you two don’t need to worry, good treatment. When my mother is well, my brother and I will go to the county town to pick you up.

It has been 8 days. I was sitting on the balcony thinking about when my parents would come back. At this time, the phone rang suddenly, it was my parents on the phone, my father told me that my mother was discharged from the hospital, asked me to go to pick them up. So, I excitedly rushed into the mother’s room, hurriedly tidy up once, called on the younger brother to get on the car to the county.

I felt very sad to see my mother lose a big circle.

This time, I realized the sorrow and pain of not having my parents by my side. From now on, I swear that I must be dutiful to my parents. You won’t feel the presence of your parents when they are by your side. When you lose them, you will know the best time and the happiest thing is to have your parents’ company.

Let’s say I have mom and dad

The fourth school of Riha Center, Zhaojue County, Sichuan Province (2)

I am an orphan, if I have parents, I think, they will do a lot of things for me.

If they are in, I should be such a life: sick, mom and dad take care of me all day, are tired out, sick, I cook for mom and dad, they go out to buy food, also Bought me a set of beautiful clothes, I am very happy, immediately put the clothes on the body. I put on my new clothes to pick apples with my parents, where the apples are very big and delicious, we pick ah, picking ah, soon filled with several baskets. Looking at the fruits of our own harvest, I am particularly happy in my heart.

Autumn is coming, the clouds are bright. Mom and dad also took me to see the maple leaves, red maple leaves like a ball of red flames in the autumn wind flashing, to enjoy such a beautiful scenery, I feel very happy.

When we got home, I began to do my homework, finish the problem, my father told me again and again, I do not know the word, my father will teach me. Weekend, mom and dad busy morning, did a lot of food, we eat together, mom and dad do the rice is very good, I think they are busy morning, must be very tired, when I grow up to also want to give mom and dad do eat rice, help to do a little work, do household chores, cleaning, carry water and wash his clothes, and feed pigs, chicken feed, I love my mom and dad.

This is the world I dreamed of, but they left me before I had time to honor them. But I met many kind people in my life and study. They supported my study and made me feel the existence of love.

I am grateful to god for the injustice and fairness.

I waited 364 days and nights for the Spring Festival

‘That’s a secret you mustn’t tell anyone!

Keep secret oh

Li Denglan, grade 5, Taojiang Complete Primary School, Leishan County, Guizhou Province

Everyone has a lot of little secrets in their heart, I also have, now, I want to choose from my little secret to tell you one thing, can’t tell anyone else oh!

Once I did very badly in a Chinese exam. The teacher asked us to take the paper home and sign it for my parents. I was so scared that I didn’t dare to sign it for my father. After returning home, because the test was very bad, I did not tell my father about the test, I put the test paper in the schoolbag, back home for a long time, my father came to ask me: “In the school there is an exam? To say or not to say? I thought. I thought for a while, or do not say, I told my father: “no test”. I was so afraid that my father would see that I was lying, but he went away without a word.

When I got to the school, I saw that other students had given their parents’ signatures, but I didn’t take them, so I secretly picked up a pen and wrote my father’s name on the test paper when others couldn’t see it. The Chinese class was about to begin. I was both nervous and afraid.

The class began. After a while, the teacher came. I was getting more and more afraid. At first, the teacher asked us if we had signed it for the parents. My classmates all said in unison: “Yes.” Actually, I was lying, I didn’t really give it. Later, the teacher began to check from the first group, slowly, I became more and more nervous, more and more afraid.

The teacher checked the first, second, third group, will be to our group. It’s our group, but I’m the sixth instead of the first. It’s my turn. Five, four, three, two, one. It’s my turn. It’s great that they haven’t been found and don’t have to be afraid.

That’s a secret you can’t tell anyone! Because it’s my secret. Keep it a secret.

‘Burnt!

Zhang Dewei, Class 1, Grade 3, Shitang School, Wanyuan City, Sichuan Province

I spent the summer vacation with my grandparents. One of the things I will never forget.

One day at noon, it was very hot. Grandma was making lunch and cooking a pot of porridge. Grandpa was playing mahjong in the backyard with some of his friends.

Suddenly, grandpa shouted loudly: “The paste!” Grandma smiled and said to me: “Your grandpa shouted ‘hu’ today, it must be he won playing mahjong. But he hasn’t called for a long time.”

Just then, the grandfather shouted again: “The paste!” Grandma said to me happily, “You see, it’s your coming that brings your grandpa good luck. He always wins.”

After a while, he shouted again: “Burnt!” Grandma excitedly said: “Old man, you are really strong today, always beard!”

Then the grandfather shouted again, “It’s burnt!” Grandma said: “You always win, I came to get the money.”

“What? I mean that porridge you cooked is burnt!” Grandpa said.

Grandma like a dream wake up, quickly ran to the past, distressed to say: “Dead old man, why didn’t you say? How can the children eat my pot of porridge? It’s all burnt!”

Isn’t that interesting?

The title is “Dreams.

“I’ll try harder, harder, and harder.”

The dream is not far away

Wen Shang Love School, Zhaojue County, Sichuan Province, grade 8 Alwuluo

I have a dream, a little dream. This dream is neither small nor big, but I think it is the greatest dream of all.

I’ve had a dream in my heart since I was ten years old. This dream has been with me for five years. During those short five years, I didn’t seem to have done much, and it felt like only a year had passed. During the three years of the five years, I just finished my primary school life, left my Alma mater, which had nurtured me for six years, said goodbye to the teachers and classmates I got along with day and night, and started my junior middle school study life. At the same time, it is getting closer to my dream.

Dream is far away, but after years of your little bit of effort is not so far away. The key is whether you have tried. In fact, my dream is very simple, is to be an excellent doctor, maybe you think this dream is not as good as I said. But it doesn’t matter. After all, two people don’t see things the same way. You may despise the position of doctor, but I still think it is great and selfless to be a doctor.

I want to be a doctor simply because I want to give my patients what they want — a life free of disease. At the same time, I also want to cure my father’s disease, to cure my father’s disease is my greatest wish.

= = = =

My father was an excellent bricklayer. He has built houses in many places. One year we were building a bungalow, and unfortunately my father was standing on a shelf full of bricks. The shelf couldn’t support the weight and broke in the middle. My father gripped the wall next to him hard with his hand, but his belly hit the top corner of the brick. The accident left him in bed for years, and he hasn’t gotten much better. If he had had some money, his illness would not have been so serious.

Now I just want to cure my father’s disease, there is no other need. If my father were cured, we would not have to worry so much, and there would be only a bright smile on our little faces, instead of a full face of sadness. I wish that day would come soon. But before that, I can only realize my dream through study. So, I have to work harder, harder, harder. Only in this way can I change my destiny and change the destiny of our whole family. I’m always looking for the next challenge and the next few years will be all about hard work.

Although I have a few other dreams, but these dreams are not “big nor big nor small dream” great. What’s more, it was my first dream, and my first dream will never be forgotten.

The dream of the world is beautiful, as long as the thought, it will give people a taste of happiness, a kind of forward power. Even if there are obstacles in the way of realizing your dream, you still have enough courage to conquer it.

The dream world has many cities

Keziah, grade 6, Jiutie Luogu Township Central School, Zhaojue County, Sichuan Province

I live in a dream world, let me take you to see the world, and struggle for the dream of me!

There are many cities in the dream world, and each city has a different dream. There are inventors, teachers, science, doctors… The most interesting is the dance city, there are ballet, Latin dance, hip-hop…… It’s not colorful! No matter in what kind of city, everyone is working hard to realize their dreams every day. Of course, some people have succeeded in fulfilling their dreams, and those who haven’t are still living in the city of their dreams.

I used to live in Doctor city, but I came to Singer City because I wanted to be a singer. Now I live in the singer city, working hard every day, fighting for my dream!

After the singer city, I went to a singing school to learn, after the examination, was assigned to the sixth grade singing (two) class. There is a teacher in our class named Miss Wu. Miss Wu teaches very well, but she is also very strict. But it doesn’t matter. A strict teacher produces excellent students. Every day she teaches us how to master tones. We never finish the music we have to learn, and the daily homework is to learn a song completely and without any mistakes. Although my throat gets very uncomfortable every time, I will stick to it no matter what difficulties I meet. As the saying goes, constant dripping wears away a stone. Nothing can be learned in a day, you have to learn to sing little by little through hard work, in order to become a good singer,

Mr. Wu has pointed out my mistakes many times, and I often stay until twelve or one o ‘clock at night to rest.

Later, I got better little by little, also got the praise of Mr. Wu, so over a long period of time, I became the king of the song in the school.

I believe that in the future, I will become an excellent singer and realize my dream. Now I will try my best.

A world of peace and contentment

Yang Jun, grade 8, Baiyangxi School, Luxi County, Hunan Province

My dream world is full of happiness and hope, peace forever, no secular disputes, people can live and work in peace, is a world full of love.

In a dream world, birds sing happily on the branches; The fish play freely in the water; The earth is covered with green elements. The sky is blue and the world is peaceful. And human beings can coexist peacefully, everywhere is the color of love, beautiful and beautiful; The earth is surrounded by green trees, clear water is flowing, and there will be no more dust storms and other natural disasters. There was no more pain in people’s eyes.

There will be no more wars in the dream world. Harmony among nations; Happiness between home and home; There is no intrigue against each other and everyone gets along equally. There is no burden in life. You don’t have to worry about employment, because as long as you want, the job will come to you. Study can be relaxed, do not have to worry about exam however, because exam however can make up for exam for many times, still have teacher to undertake professional coach.

The dream of the world is not polluted, the water is clear; The air is fresh; The earth is clean. The energy used in cars is no longer the petrol that pollutes the air; Light can be on during the day, air can be on at night; The whole world is dressed in green, and each of us is an advocate of protecting the environment. Everyone consciously cares for the environment; The sky will not have haze, air quality is excellent, people will not because of air problems and respiratory infections. You don’t need to wear a mask to travel, you don’t need to worry about children playing outside because of the impact of air pollution on health, and you don’t need to worry about driving blind in smog.

People’s life is very convenient, will not overwork, because in life there will be many different types of small robots to help you do different things. They are wise people in life. Tell them what you want to eat and they will do it for you. They can also do housework, clean the toilet and wash clothes. Summer can make the house cool, winter can make the house warm. It can also bring joy to you and your family.

The title is “Happiness”

“Every Chinese New Year, mom and Dad will come back.”

To cut rice

Chen Lei, grade 5, Donghua Wanyan Primary School, Madeng Town, Jianchuan County, Yunnan Province

What is happiness? Happiness is like the sun, shining on people’s hearts; Happiness is like rain and dew, moistening everyone’s smile flower; Happiness is like the breeze, touching people’s heart.

National Day long holiday, my mother, sister and I are going to cut rice. In the morning, after we had breakfast, we packed our things and got ready to cut the corn. I had a sickle in my hand and a rope hanging from my shoulder. There is a ditch in the road. Jump over it or you’ll get your shoes wet. There is also a stream with many small animals in it. Our field is more than one mu (but the field we cut is only one mu). It will take three or four days.

And I put the line on the ridge of the field, and bent down, and began to cut the corn: for the water had not dried up thoroughly in the field, and the shoes were full of mud, which sometimes could not be pulled out. I first grasp the millet with my left hand, the right hand sickle force a cut will be cut, cut several times, put them together, bundled into a can. So repeatedly cut, I went to drink water, “Mom, you also drink water, rest for a while!” I said. “Yes, I’m coming.” Sister and mother answered in unison. We were idle for a while on the ridge of the field and began to work again.

Mother tied rice, my sister and I cut rice. The midday sun was so hot that sweat ran down my cheeks. Mother asked with concern: “Is it hot? Shall I take off my hat for you?” He took off his hat and put it on my head. Although the sun was still hot, my heart was warm and I didn’t feel hot at all.

Next, the millet back, I installed myself five millet, tied with a rope, back good waiting for mother and sister. Sister packed seven millet, mother packed thirty millet, mother took off the hat to me, so now clothes are soaked in sweat. Wait for that small ditch, I jumped over, sister also jumped over, and mother wearing rain boots over, a little wet.

Halfway back, I can’t carry, “what’s wrong, can’t carry?” Asked his mother. Mother loaded her with my five handfuls of millet. I went home empty.

A mother’s love is deep, a mother’s love is delicate, a mother’s love is selfless and great. My mother gave me love, let me never forget, never forget!

Happiness has many flavors

Long Shuni, grade 4, Danjiang Primary School, Leishan County, Guizhou Province

Happiness has many tastes, sour, sweet, bitter, spicy, salty…

Happiness is sweet.

My mother was afraid that the cake outside was not clean, so she bought the ingredients to make the cake in the supermarket, bought the toaster, and searched online for how to make a delicious cake. The first time, my mother did not succeed, the second time, the delicious cake came out. Eat up sweet, let a person feel very happy, so happiness is sweet.

Happiness is bitter.

I signed up for a dance class, and the teacher told us to go home and practice the basics. I am afraid of pain, my mother let me go slowly, help me hold the waist, help me massage the legs. My mother and I have been doing this for four years. Now I have good basic skills and can dance well. It’s hard, but it’s worth it. So happiness is bitter.

Happiness is hot.

I still remember when I was in my hometown, I accidentally fell down a stone slope and broke my knee. It was so painful and hot that I cried when I came home. Sister-in-law saw, then said: “I know very hot, childhood we also so, but we don’t cry.” After hearing this, I was so shy that I forgot the hot wound. So happiness is hot.

Happiness is salty.

Before, the old home building new house, the second floor has not installed the horizontal board, I ran up to play, accidentally stepped on the place has not installed the horizontal board, fell down, tongue broken a small hole, I make the best to cry, father quickly threw down the work in the hands, embrace me to deal with the wound. While I was working on the wound, a drop of my father’s sweat went into my mouth, and the smell of sweat and blood became salty. I know, my mouth that drop of sweat, is my father’s concern for me. So happiness is salty.

I am glad that I have experienced happiness.

The smell of Happiness

Li Ying, Grade 6, Donghua Wanyan Primary School, Jianchuan County, Dali Prefecture, Yunnan Province

Happiness, when we are very innocent, never thought about what happiness is, what happiness is. But now, we have grown up, slowly understand what is happiness.

Perhaps, happiness is in a small and ordinary things, such as the happiness I feel is this: every morning, wake up in the smell of grandma’s rice, eat grandma’s delicious food every day, this is happiness.

Happiness is not necessarily to be satisfied with money. In fact, those who have a lot of wealth are not necessarily fast, happy.

Every time I was sick, because my parents were working outside, my grandmother took care of me and brought me water and food until I got well. At this time, even when I am ill, I feel very happy.

Every New Year, mom and dad will come back for the New Year, and I went to the village early to pick them up, a look at their faces I will happily run to them, into their arms.

On New Year’s Eve, we a family sitting together to eat dinner, watch the Spring Festival Gala, also in a barbecue, looking at the lively scene, I felt a deep happiness.

In fact, happiness can be seen everywhere, as long as we carefully to find, heart to experience the happiness of life, then we will live in happiness every day.

Happiness is a tree

Liu Jiayi, grade 4, Zhenwu Primary School, Lianhua Town, Anju District, Suining, Sichuan

What is happiness? Is it jelly beans? Let you savor; Is it fragrant tea? Make you feel like you’re there; Are they books? You learn a lot. But my happy story is bittersweet and hard to guess.

At that time, I was a lively, innocent girl. But I do not know when I have the heart to love and coquetry. My father and mother had never worked before, and the family’s financial resources were all on my grandfather’s shoulders.

In the morning, I finished my porridge and took out my shoes from the shoe cabinet, which I had not worn for a long time. Put on your shoes. Why are your toes sticking out? “Mother, what shall I do if I break my shoe?” “Oh, and now you’re growing. Don’t worry. I’ll get you a new pair when I get a job.” Mother came running at the sound. “Another job, Mother. I can’t wait any longer.” I was in a hurry straight stomp feet, head did not return to run out of the house, like the arrow from the string general straight to the school. Arriving at the school, I saw in my eyes that every student was wearing a pair of beautiful shoes, but I was the only one…

It was an interesting Chinese lesson, but I soon got tired of listening to it. “My poor child’s feet are frozen to popsicles,” he thought. How wonderful it would be if a new pair of shoes were on the table!” Finally — the school bell rang, I have not waited for the teacher to finish the words, like a bird flew out of the classroom.

Before I had even entered the house, I said loudly, “It nearly froze me to death today.” My mother walked into the room and gently handed me a pair of beautiful shoes, smiling at me and saying, “As long as you like it, it’s ok.” Happiness came too suddenly, I looked down at the shoes on my mother’s feet, just understand my mother’s suffering.

In fact, I do not expect big fish and meat, just hope to have a safe home; Want their parents to work for them; I hope the family is happy and thrifty. Although now the day is bitter but my heart is sweet. Parents who are away from home should often come home to see their children and take care of their health.

I will design happiness as a tree, rooted in the soil with love and hope. Water the root of happiness with wisdom and will. I will not fear the wind and rain of unhappiness, for that is the nourishment of the tree of happiness. This tree does not necessarily have brilliant flowers, but it will certainly bear sweet fruit. Happiness must have courage, which can overcome everything.

This is my home, a happy home; Such is the story of my family, a story brimming with happiness.
