This is life! This is a true story and a meditation of a retired woman. Starting from selling restaurants, there are two inevitable topics in life: life and doing things. Everyone is doing something, big things, small things, things at home, things outside the home, everything goes on. But people often say that it is difficult to do things and even harder to be a human being, and it is even more difficult to succeed in doing things and being a human being. The ancestors of China also said: "One-third of doing things and seven-tenths of being a good person." This shows the importance of being a good person and doing things. Only by clearly understanding your own bottom line can you become natural and not artificial. My story starts from my childhood: Episode 1: I was born in a poor and ordinary working-class family. I have seven brothers and sisters. The youngest ones are twins, and I am the eldest. In the 1960s, there was a Peking Opera called "The Story of the Red Lantern". Grandma Li in the play said: "Children from poor families have long been the masters of their families." This is true at all. I have been sensible, energetic and very strong since I was a child. When I signed up for school on the first day, I followed the adults from my neighbor's family to sign up for school. I decided to call myself a two-letter name because my mother gave me a three-letter name that was not nice to hear. At that time, two-character names had just become fashionable. These two-character names were named by a very knowledgeable aunt who was away from home. She wrote a letter saying that three-letter names are no longer popular, so she gave seven of us sisters nice names. Because there were many children at home and many things to do, the parents did not take it seriously and did not change it. Episode 2: When I went to school the next day, there were many freshmen in the school waiting to be sorted into classes. Among the freshmen, I was the highest. At that time, I was standing there, looking back and forth, and thinking, why are they all so short? At this time, a young and beautiful female teacher came to me and asked, "What is your name?" I told her. Then she said: "Come with me, you are in my class." When we got to class, we started to assign seats, and because I was tall, I was assigned to the seat at the back. The teacher told us her last name was Hou, and also said in front of the whole class that I should be the monitor. At that time, I was so excited that I studied harder and took responsibility for the whole class. The teacher was very good to me. Whenever I go to the teaching office and give the teacher homework for the whole class, our teacher will say in front of other teachers: "This is the little teacher in my class and also the little adult. He is responsible for the class." Hearing the teacher praise me like this, I feel happier, and I am more active in studying and class affairs. I am willing to go to school every day, but I am afraid I will be late. I would rather skip meals and go to school quickly. I think there are still so many classmates and things to take care of in school. My sense of responsibility is also related to being the boss at home. Episode 3: He quickly joined the Young Pioneers and was appointed as the squadron leader of the full-year group - Liangdaogang. In fifth grade, he was elected captain of the school - three stripes. I finished elementary school happily, but I never forgot the beautiful teacher in charge. She was so kind and doting to me. These are all imprinted in my mind and will never be forgotten in my life.
