Night

From the second foreign language class, I took the subway for the first time. The platform was empty and quiet, with only a few people, and it was still. Suddenly, a rumbling sound came, and the train on the opposite side pulled in, and then another rumbling sound, the train sped away. It disappeared into the vast night. I don’t know why, but the train on my side didn’t arrive for a long time… waiting, waiting… until a light came from afar, accompanied by a rumbling sound. Sitting in the seat, I sorted out my thoughts for the day, thinking, and gradually realized that sometimes I am very small, facing many things in the world, the only thing I can do is to adapt a little bit.

Four Hui Dong, it seems I need to transfer. I quickly got up from my seat and jumped out of the car just as the doors were closing. I transferred to Line 1, “Dawang Road”, what a familiar station name, I lived here for almost 10 years, and suddenly I had an urge to get off and stand alone on my hometown, looking at the “hometown” that has completely changed - in the night. I got off at Jianguomen, and when I got off, I saw a girl, we looked up at the same time, and looked at each other, but the train swayed, and we both stumbled, the doors opened, and we went our separate ways. We were never acquaintances to begin with.

Finally, I followed the crowd and transferred to the loop line. My steps were heavy, as if I had just woken up, and I seemed to have already become numb to this life - even though it was my first time trying.

I returned to school and directly went to Qu Chen’s office, but Wei Zai wasn’t there either. I suddenly saw a webpage made by someone else, it was so beautiful, so nice to look at. I must never think of myself as a great person. I thought to myself, there are always mountains outside of mountains, and people outside of people. There are always people who are stronger than you. I must learn, learn, and only by constantly surpassing others can I succeed. I felt a bit sad, a bit helpless. I left Qu Chen’s office and walked on the playground, it was already very late, but there were still many people running, constantly exercising, constantly surpassing, this is probably their idea. Gaocao once said that doing this is “against the laws of nature”, maybe he is right, maybe those who exercise are right. Any scientist would dream of being able to go against the laws of nature, but in fact, they are just exploring the laws of nature.

There’s nothing more to say, nothing more. I hope I can make a breakthrough~ (Full text)
