　　At the moment when the needle was pointing to zero, I let out a long sigh of relief:

　　"2020, finally over!"

　　Time is awkward, and every time we stand at the one-365th node divided by the Gregorian calendar, we are always looking back.

So, at this moment, how do you feel, is it laugh or tears, or calm and calm?

　　Perhaps, we have never so longed for the end of an annual ring.

As we never expected, 2020 will be this way of opening——

　　"Hurry up and put on your mask! Look, this road is Wuhan, where dozens of people have died..." On the early morning of the second day of the New Year, I was on the airport expressway that "escaped" from Nanchang, Jiangxi back to Beijing. This scares children who don't like to wear masks.

　　Just three days ago, on the eve of New Year's Eve, at the time when the New Year was approaching, Wuhan, known as the "Nine Provinces Thoroughfare", shocked the whole country with the unprecedented "City Closure Order" since the founding of New China!

　　Since then, every day, we have witnessed history.

　　Through the "rain of bullets" in this protracted national war epidemic, we feel the weight of life and see the light of human nature.

　　What touched us deeply was Wang Yong, a Wuhan express brother who went out without telling his family on the first day of the new year, was afraid of shaking his legs but still insisted on sending medical staff to work. He is more than 40,000 Wuhan called the "silent hero". The builders of Huoshenshan and Leishenshan hospitals are "fighters" who dance square dances in the shelter hospitals. They are aid doctors who escort the elderly out of the ward for CT and stop to feel the setting sun after a long absence. They donate masks and leave a sentence of "free of money" The "Chinese" stranger is a netizen who has never met a stranger day and night, and cheered for the rebirth of Wuhan after the epidemic. It is every Chinese.

　　2020, lucky to have you.

In that endless darkness, give me light, give me warmth, give me hope, give me a smile-"The sunset is worth it."

　　As a result, I gradually stopped complaining about having to do three meals a day while working at home, and no longer frustrated and depressed because the "bear children" could not go to kindergarten; gradually the children stopped yelling at me because they were not used to wearing masks. , No longer play your temper because of being bored at home all day, no longer make emotions because of online learning.

　　In 2020, we learned to forbear, and learn to be strong.

　　After going through the robbery wave, I only understood how precious it is to "business as usual".

Therefore, we decided to use extra efforts to bring this year back to what we once imagined——

　　We resisted strong winds and waves, and found our way in confusion. The economy went from "forced squat" to "swift jump", drawn a beautiful "V", and became the only major economy in the world that achieved positive growth.

　　We fight the "epidemic" at home, DIY food, cloud learning, cloud office, cloud fitness, and start a different kind of life.

　　We lose and hold on.

　　But, 2020, we are really exhausted!

　　We are eager to take off the masks, to have a complete rest, to have a good reunion, and to go on a long trip to empty space, but...

　　We crossed out the FLAGs established at the beginning of the year-"double income", "pay off the mortgage", "replacement of school district house", "exchange car", and "trip as soon as you want to go" one by one, and write down the word "safe".

　　Looking back on 2020, we once complained about the extremely long period because of the hardship, so that we wanted to "restart" countless times, but now when it passed away, we found that it was deep in our hearts.

At this moment, we will properly collect the past, because the future has come.

　　As of 2021, we have too many expectations.

We are eager to know: What will it look like in 2021?

　　On the historical coordinates, 2021 carries many major events.

However, this year, or it will be an extremely difficult year, with obstacles and long.

　　Year after year, we will usher in another Spring Festival.

But this Spring Festival, I don't have to "flee" back in a hurry, because I decided to prevent and control the epidemic and celebrate the New Year in place.

　　"Mom, are we really going to celebrate the New Year in Beijing?"

　　"Yes!"

　　"Haha, what is the New Year in Beijing?"

　　"Beijing has a good year, red and red..."

　　This broad-mindedness mixed with helplessness is what 2020 taught us, and it is also the best time gift we bring to 2021.

　　In the new year, I wish time to be simple, and I wish you peace.

　　We share both warm and cold.
