How long has it been since you were reunited with your parents?

It's Mid-Autumn Festival again

This year

Do you celebrate Mid-Autumn Festival with your family?

Still the same as me

In the city of hard work, talking on the phone with my family

"Mom, I won't be back this year."

Before I went to college, I had never left my parents’ side.

Even if I get bullied and get into trouble

I also know that I have parents

I can hide behind them.

Enjoy a moment of "bear child" time

At that time, the figures of parents were a wall

Isolate me from the evil of the world

When I stepped into the campus of another city

Strange streets, strange people

Noise is the main theme at this moment

My ears are filled with my parents' instructions before I left.

"People outside are evil, so be more careful"

"Don't keep anything to yourself, tell your family about it"

“Remember to call home every week”

At that time, the figures of parents were a ray of light.

So that I won't get lost when walking in the dark

In the last summer vacation before leaving university

Like all the previous summer vacations

I like staying at home

I discuss this with my parents every day.

Which good taste of childhood do you want to recreate?

What movie to watch to while away the evening?

But today seems a little different

The usually cheerful mother now looks depressed.

Is it because I'm about to board the train home?

Is there worry in your mother's eyes?

"Don't worry, mom. I've been there so many times by myself."

"I know you're great. You've saved me a lot of trouble over the years."

I picked up my suitcase with some pride and prepared to go downstairs

Suddenly, I heard a voice behind me saying

“Once you start working, you rarely come back .”

"This summer vacation may be my mother's

This is the last time I will be with you for such a long time in my life."

I turned back in astonishment, not knowing what to say for a moment.

"No, I will have summer vacation when I prepare for postgraduate study."

I forced a hippie smile

"You should work harder. I want to come over and take care of your kids."

"Hehe, I don't have a partner yet, I haven't even started dating yet."

I turned around and ran downstairs in small steps, pretending to be shy.

I was still thinking about my mother's words.

When I walked downstairs and got in a taxi

I'm already holding back my tears

If I just start working and starting a family

Then these two months of summer vacation will really be like what my mother said.

There will no longer be

This is my seventh year of work.

There are about two opportunities to go home in a year.

You may all guess it.

National Day and Spring Festival, two holidays of no more than 7 days

Sometimes we even skip National Day.

Of course I don't want to go home.

Sometimes I am too busy at work to spare time.

Sometimes I feel exhausted and want to take a break

Now I finally understand the feeling of being helpless.

Since then, my mother has never had such emotions again.

Still cheerful with me on weekly phone calls

Still ask me every time

Are you going home for Mid-Autumn Festival this year?

We left our hometowns, either for our ideals or because we were unwilling to be ordinary.

No matter what the reason

No matter what kind of setbacks we encounter outside

Home is always our solid support

Let us move forward without worries

But there are always moments like this

Let us remember where we started.

And those who are watching over us there
