Old Times in Bengbu——Warmth and Memories of Hometown

 Walking in the quaint alleys of Bengbu, every step seems to be stepping on the veins of time. The brick houses, mottled walls and narrow stone roads in the old city all quietly tell stories of the past. I remember when I was a child, the aunt next door would always put a basket of fresh fruits at the entrance of the alley. Her warm smile and kind greetings filled the whole alley with a strong breath of life. During traditional festivals, every household will not forget to paste paper-cuts and hang lanterns in their busy schedule. The whole community will be immersed in a peaceful and lively atmosphere, making people seem to travel back to that simple era.

Whenever I stroll through these familiar street corners, I can always recall the scenes of chasing and playing at the end of the alley when I was a child. The laughter at that time was crisp, as if it could dispel all the troubles. The wooden windows and mottled door frames in the old houses have witnessed the rise and fall of generations. The old banyan tree with thick annual rings on the street still stands in the wind and rain, guarding this land full of historical atmosphere. Whenever the sun sets, I like to find a corner to sit down and quietly watch the setting sun dye the old city with a layer of golden color, and my heart is filled with infinite emotion and warmth.

In the memory of this city, there are not only silent buildings, but also those enthusiastic people. They convey warmth and kindness in the most simple way. No matter how life changes, this emotion has never changed. Every detail of my hometown is quietly telling the unique story of Bengbu, which is deeply engraved in my heart and becomes my eternal spiritual home.

Experience at UKM

Image
My first experience at UKM The first time I stepped into the UKM campus was when I came to register at UKM. Because Chinese universities generally have eye-catching signs and walls surrounding the school, when I was in the car, I kept looking for the gate with the UKM logo. But when I saw some buildings that looked like teaching buildings, I realized that I had entered the UKM campus. After I registered at UKMshape, I walked around the UKM campus. After wandering around for a while, the feeling that UKM gave me was really big, very, very big! And I also found some monkeys jumping on the trees on the road, which made me feel very novel. In short, the UKM campus gave me the feeling of walking in a park at the foot of the mountain.

A typical day in the UKM school life

Image
The first ray of sunlight in the morning quietly climbed up the window lattice, and the campus was filled with the faint fragrance of grass and the freshness of morning dew. When I stepped into the campus, I could hear the birds singing in the distance and the students' brisk conversations. This was every ordinary and lively morning I spent at UKM. Walking along the familiar path to the teaching building, I faced the earliest challenge of the day - the collision of knowledge and exchange of ideas in the classroom. The humorous but wise explanations of each professor always stimulated my curiosity about the unknown; during the break, I whispered with my classmates in the corridor. Whether it was theoretical problems or trivial matters in life, we felt the sincere friendship between each other. At lunch time, the lively atmosphere and colorful food in the campus cafeteria always brought short-term comfort to the busy studies. I often sat by the window, looking at the campus with suns...

Journey of Notes: Music Awakens the Whisper of the Soul

 Music is like a silent old friend to me, always accompanying me when I need it most. Whenever the night falls or I sit alone, I always like to put on headphones, immerse myself in the strings of notes, and let my mind wander quietly in the melody. Different styles of tunes seem to reflect the emotions in life: soft folk songs remind me of the warm past, passionate rock dispels the confusion in my heart, and the rhythm of electronic music seems to foreshadow the infinite possibilities of the future. I remember that on an ordinary afternoon, when my irritable thoughts were difficult to calm down, I accidentally heard an old song. The familiar melody seemed to take me through time and space, allowing me to relive those green and innocent memories. Music is not just an enjoyment for the ears, but more like a bridge that closely connects my past and present. Every time I press the play button, it is a journey of the soul and an emotional release. I like to make a cup of tea in a quiet ...
