People as old as I am now: before 40, and after 38 years old, it is the awkward age of "saying that old is not old, young is not tender; young is not love, old is not want; men are not handsome, women are not pretty".
The annual "5.4" Youth Day was originally one of the favorite festivals since middle school. It is a kind of treatment that is enjoyed freely from school to society. It is different from "March 8", "Old Man's Day", "Father's Day", "Mother's Day" and so on. It is not marked by identity or gender. As long as it is young, it is an inevitable participant.
On this festival, the streets, squares and hillsides of the whole city are the faces of young people, who will always embrace each other with colorful, colorful, energetic and bright sunshine. No wonder there are so many "old face" "young people" who would rather "lose points" and also want to be involved in it, which is not true. Many leaders of many units appear in the ranks of young people with the title of leader, so young every year.
It is not as simple as in the past to go through "5.4" now. First of all, it is to open up the age, changing the youth segment from 35 years old to 45 years old (the United Nations defines the age of "youth" as under 45 years old); If the age of the leader of this unit is 46, then the age of the activity should be under 50. Anyway, there will always be someone to invite the leader to participate in the event for the reason of righteousness, which is called "knowing how to do".
My unit is a "public institution, but managed by enterprise". In the early days, when I just graduated and checked in, I was still "full financial allocation". Within a few years, it became "differential financial allocation". Now it is "no milk to eat". That is to say, in this unit, there is no such thing as "waiting for room distribution"!
Since I gave up the idea of waiting for housing distribution, I began to work hard to make money to buy commercial housing. When I was 35 years old, I became my daughter's "father" before the money for commercial housing was collected! Daily "imported milk powder" and "king of flowers diapers" nibble at the limited number on my bankbook.
After another two years, her daughter began to receive "full-time" formal education, and began to march towards "municipal key kindergartens", including "kindergarten selection fee", "dance fee", "music fee", and "foreign English primary class tuition fee"; Buy piano, dance training clothes and performance clothes; Classes are held at two ends of the day and performances are performed at different times. Under the great pressure of "lack of skills, lack of sleep, limited time, and physical exhaustion", I finally used my old money to buy a "smoking butt" guy. In my spare time and holidays, I took a car with people for my wife and daughter's errands. I also had to pick up and pick up two women at work and kindergarten every day to live the life of "driver".
I am most embarrassed when others talk about "losing weight" in front of me, because my weight is only 55 kg, and my height is 178 cm. This weight has remained the same since I had the idea of buying a house.
When I occasionally have leisure time and have to have a happy get-together with my classmates or friends, every time I eat delicious food and drink heartily, several people present will show the pain of holding up chopsticks. All of you here, except me, are potbellied. Everyone seems to have a sense of historical mission of "losing weight". In contrast, I am so image that I am dwarfed. It is really like that the poor and middle peasants are mixed in the ranks of a group of rich landlords and rich men. They are not an equal class, and always show a poor appearance of "not enough to eat and not warm".
Among my friends of the same age, one of the most frequently heard words is: "Catch the tail of youth!" The speaker often speaks forcefully and forcefully, with a strong sense of seize the moment, but it sounds like "a dog's tail is a dog's tail.". Younger martial brothers who work in the same unit and hold the position of League leader often expressed surprise: "Why should I go now if I want to make efforts? Isn't it 'thirty years old'?"
"Can we compare with you? How much do you take each month now? How much can we take this time like you? You were born with a silver spoon, and there was no pressure of money since childhood, you know?"
"Who said, if you don't feel it yourself, no one would think that you are no longer young. Am I not old? As long as your heart is still young, whether it is middle-aged or old? When I reach the age of 40, I will still be young; because I will always have the flowers of youth in my heart!"
How nice to say: "Because my heart is always full of flowers of youth!"
