Drifting away (senior one students)
I, a freshman, am lucky to be in the same age as the century.
From the foot of Nanling, a remote county in southern Hunan. I spent my childhood there. There are no training courses, no traffic, no tall buildings. Some are just interesting local accents, there are messy telephone poles in the street, roadside vegetable markets where chickens crow and ducks crow, the scenery along the way when walking to school, a small friend, leaves school every day, and one-yuan delicacies such as spicy bean jelly, mung bean paste and sugar cake …
I remember, at that time, I liked listening to music with my deskmate at recess and watching banana trees fall leaves outside the window.
Last Christmas, the news of Weibo’s death in Upper Utaoki was buzzing, and suddenly I remembered the time when we copied the lyrics by hand and hummed in our mouths. At that time, I also liked to play with farms and pastures in QQ space, like non-mainstream avatars with words, like those weird symbols and characters, and like to leave messages to my classmates: Come and step on them when you are free! I like listening to music, from Utaoki, Silence Wang, Vae and Xu Liang to Jay Chou and Hou Xian, from "I’ll never see you again" to "Su Yan", "Audition" and "Go to hell with exams and everything" to "No Guest Officials". In my memory, I often play 4399 with their songs and watch boys play CF. These songs are even more popular in this closed town, streets and alleys, and the loudspeakers are playing circularly during the sale. Silence Wang, Vae and Xu Liang are my first group of male gods, and their lyrics are full of an ignorant girl’s initial imagination. Ignorant non-mainstream times, wearing ponytails and plaid skirts, talking about meteor rain and Happy Camp, which were very popular at that time, flashed for two or three years, and it was summer in a hurry.
Last year, I listened to Jay Chou’s new song "Confession Balloon" for the first time, and the sweet atmosphere still overflowed. Time seems to go back to the teenager who has a sweet fragrance, a garden party, a simple love and a mountain bike with the wind. It was only at the end of the song that I found that time has gone so far. Yes, each of us is moving forward. I left the small town where I was born and raised, and went to the bustling provincial capital to study. We are also meeting new people and leaving the past. However, there are always people and things that have no time to say goodbye, and then disappear into the sea of people and memory, just like Miss Utaoki, just like my childhood that is gone forever.
Today, a girl from a small town at the foot of Nanling stood on the top floor of Guangyi Building, the middle school affiliated to Hunan Normal University, and looked north at Xiangjiang River. She saw the bustling high-rise buildings and gorgeous big screens in Hedong, and saw a world I had never imagined, a wonderful and wonderful world. I got to know my classmates around me, and made friends who were completely different from my childhood experience. There were more and more English songs and light music in the song list of my mobile phone. Vae sang in "Auditory hallucination": "I thought his singing was artificial that day, but now it sounds vivid. Maybe time has made my ears tolerant." However, it is very similar to the thoughts of old songs, and I still leave a solemn corner in my memory for those songs. I will occasionally miss the past, miss those songs, and miss the time when Su Yan was broadcast all over the city.
The song list has been changed again and again, and the people around me have changed wave after wave, but some have not changed. May you and I always be young and always have tears in our eyes.
