On Qingming Festival, I went to my hometown in Ningbo to visit my parents' graves, and happened to meet my childhood friend A Liang. After more than 30 years apart, not only is the face difficult to recognize, but also due to different living environments and personal experiences, we have very few words in common, which makes me full of emotions. But it also reminds me of the joy of playing together as a child and the beauty of spring in my hometown. He invited me to sit at his house and met his sister Azhen, whom we had played with since childhood. Her face was unrecognizable. Talking about the many past events that I remember deeply in my childhood, they have all been forgotten, which makes me feel sad. Not long after returning to Shanghai, news came that A Liang had passed away from cancer. In addition to grief, he had a strong desire: to return to his hometown in Ningbo next spring. In addition to visiting his parents' graves, he also wanted to pay homage to A Liang's grave and visit A Zhen to repay his childhood friendship. I also want to take another look at the spring in my hometown. It should still be so beautiful, still haunt me, and remind me of endless longing for the past.
Purpose: I went to the countryside of Ningbo to visit my parents' graves. I happened to meet a childhood playmate I hadn't seen for more than 30 years, which brought back beautiful memories of my childhood. I regretted the early death of my playmate, and decided to go to his grave next year to pay homage to him, to repay my childhood friendship, and to feel the beauty of spring in my hometown and the nostalgia for the beautiful childhood past.
