Those Old Times That Can't Be Returned To

Pan Meichen

99K05

When did nostalgia begin? From when the first petals fall in spring, when the first snowman melts in winter, when the first semester of college ends, when the first project at work is completed, when a fellow traveler turns around in a hurry, when you say "I like you". Nostalgia is because old times cannot be recreated. The past may be bright and simple, gentle and beautiful, or it may be sour and lonely, painful and confusing, but the light of time will always warm them one by one, coating them with a soft and hazy halo. Memory is like a windless, mirror-like lake. People and events in the past have transformed into small boats, drifting peacefully and silently in the center of the lake. Open the curtains in the early morning, and the sunlight slants onto the wall stickers. That painting happens to be Van Gogh's "Sunflowers", which is still accumulating sunlight.
