ups and downs

Yesterday I got a trip that i visited the the first place where i stayed from my birth. I drove the car, following the track rooted in my memory to there. But i have to say everything has been changed totally. The pool in the memory has been changed into a very scenic lake park with even the systematic tourist services in it. I parked my car in the entry and went into it from the entrance. I walked along the path prepared for the traveller, which is divided into the footpath and biking path, and was ready for a visiting.

I have to say it is an impulse decision to take an unplanned trip especially for an uncharted zone. The park was clouded by a great thick haze. Wherever i strolled, i was always surrounding by the bare tree branches and stark soil. It looked like a lifeless zone, though i knew everything will be active. After about 15 minutes’ walk, i found a three-floor tower structured of firmed red wood for enjoying the sight from the top for the traveller. I climbed and reached the top. Because of the smog i can’t see the buildings across the lake clearly, which i was aware of form the BaiduMap that they are high-end community. I took some photos as usual. I began to wonder whether i had lost the ability of appreciating the nature or it was not the right time and right place. Even though coming for pleasure, i only felt some disappointment.

I got down the tower and returned by another way. Soon i reached a bridge call RuYi, where i met a family. Until i met them, there was almost none in the park besides some workers and me. So i was curious why there were other people having available time to appear here in the thick haze weekday. They were whole family with four members: father, mother, daughter and son. The son looked 5 years old. He was too young to join the group of parents and his sister instead of playing with the branches lonely. And i was attracted by the others sooner. So what happened except him?

I had to say the daughter was attractive. She looked as a 17-year-old student with long black hair, thin body and tall height,even though she was in simple and unfashionable cloth. I throwing my adoring eyesight to her, she was singing some unknown songs, dressing the branch in her hand and looking like an elf of Spring. Later i was caught by a songful voice, it was the lady that was singing too. “是谁，在敲个打我窗····“, she sang many times to adjust the tone. I began to notice her. She was a graceful lady and may be good at bel canto. Suddenly the little beauty turned to her mother “you sang wrongly.” she said cutely，waving her arms like the wings, “you should sing 是谁，送你来到我身边.” “yes, like Yue Yunpeng in Top Funny Comedian.” said the father, who had a standard body. “yes ,dad. That will be funny.” So the girl sang and danced on the bridge. The father stood near her with kind smile on his face and two coat in his embrace, which i guess belonged to his wife and daughter. “maybe we should combine them to a entire video and up it on the Internet.”

The lady took the cell phone out from her pocket and recorded herself first with the voice" 是谁，在敲打我窗". At the moment of end, the camera was turned the to the little beauty. " you are wrong. It should be 是谁·····” With the sweet voice uping, the gentleman joined her, and they waved their arms to act as a pair of bird. "送你来到我身边” After then, laughter bursted from the happy family. I stood by and infected by the pleasant atmosphere. I walked by without any words but a satisfied smile. I had been a bit jealous of them especially the girl, who had the family that it is always filled with happiness even though under the bad weather. I wish i could be the beauty, so optimistic.

But i knew we are different. It was the gift from god that I met the family by fate. Although set off from something sadness and confusion, the trip was paused in a happy end. I must say thank you to the family.
