North America Watch Why can the government only sigh when gun violence is rampant in the United States?

  The proliferation of gun violence has become a cliche in the United States. According to the data of the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, there were nearly 40,000 people who died at gunpoint in the United States in 2019, of which one-third died of murder and nearly two-thirds died of suicide. In addition, the proliferation of firearms will cause about 115,000 people to be disabled in the United States every year. In contrast, since the US military entered Afghanistan in 2001, the death toll of the US military there is 2,312.

  According to the report of American Broadcasting Corporation (ABC), the annual economic loss caused by gun injuries in the United States is about $300 billion, and the GDP of the United States is nearly $21 trillion in 2020. That is to say, the annual economic loss caused by guns is equivalent to 1.3% to 1.5% of the GDP of the United States. Putting this proportion into the huge economic aggregate of the United States, the absolute value is still very amazing: it is equivalent to Americans destroying a Finnish economy every year because of shooting (Finland’s GDP will be 300 billion US dollars in 2020).

  It can be said that the severity of gun violence in the United States is unique among developed countries. Therefore, the issue of gun control has become a jargon in the debate of the American Congress. However, despite the fierce quarrels among lawmakers, they often start this endless debate whenever there is a large-scale shooting incident. However, in the past 50 years, there has been no real substantive decision on gun control and solving the problem of gun proliferation.

  So, what makes it so difficult for the United States to control guns?

  The reason why Americans have the right to hold guns is a bit roundabout.

  First of all, we must clarify a concept, that is, the argument that people are free to hold guns in the Second Amendment of the US Constitution, which is emphasized by many gun-holding organizations, looks more like an absurd historical "myth" today.

  In 1791, the US Congress passed the Second Amendment, saying that "a well-disciplined militia is necessary for the security of a free country; The people’s right to hold and carry weapons shall not be violated. " The reason for enacting this amendment is that holding guns by citizens will help prevent the expansion of the power of the federal government and prevent the government from imposing tyranny on the people.

  It is true that many armed militiamen joined the struggle against British "tyranny" when the North American colonies became independent, but these militiamen with no military organization and no logistical support could not resist the attack of the British regular army for a long time. Even many militiamen joined the war of independence with the mentality of firing a few shots and sneaking home to continue farming if they failed.

  The American War of Independence can be won, thanks to the French navy’s unprecedented defeat of the British Royal Navy, which has always been invincible in the 18th century. As a result, the British main force entrenched in Yorktown was cut off, and the commander-in-chief cornwallis was forced to surrender to the French army and the Continental Army led by Washington. The powerful "armed militia" is the "founding myth" of the United States, and it is the regular navy and army that really overturns the British.

  △ In the Chesapeake Bay naval battle, the French fleet successfully prevented the Royal Navy from rushing to help the British main force stationed in Yorktown, thus controlling the sea power in the theater, causing the British army to declare its surrender after running out of ammunition, thus ending the American War of Independence.

  Moreover, individuals with guns can never compete with the state machine, and the US federal government does not hesitate to use military power far beyond the firepower of the people’s guns to carry out armed repression. During the American Civil War, a large-scale anti-conscription riot broke out in new york, and the American government responded with artillery. Some even said that warships moored in new york also participated in the suppression of the rioters. Unlike the revolvers commonly used by rioters at that time, the heavy weapons of the army were not available to the people at all, and even if they were held, they could not afford to maintain them.

△ In 1863, there was a conscription riot in New York, and the army used artillery to suppress the participants in the riot. (Source: new york Times)

  In the 21st century, with the rapid progress of military science and technology, the firepower gap between the army and the people holding guns is even greater. Not only that, since the Bush era, the US military has also transferred surplus military equipment to local police through the so-called "Project 1033", and the US special forces have trained police officers, which has made the American police a veritable paramilitary organization. Under such circumstances, the American people also know that there is no good end to engaging in large-scale armed riots. Therefore, when the new york police made a move, the crowd dispersed.

  After this year’s farce of "Occupy Capitol Hill", no one has stood up with guns and opposed the US government’s nationwide night fall.

  The biggest beneficiary of people holding guns is the southern slave owners.

  In fact, I’m afraid that the reason why the Second Amendment to the US Constitution was passed that year was not that members of Congress really believed that people holding guns was conducive to resisting the government’s "tyranny".

  At that time, it was not long after the Shays Uprising (1786-1787) against the Massachusetts authorities, and the argument that people could not be trusted was still popular among the political elites in the United States at that time. In fact, the biggest beneficiary of allowing people to hold guns is the slave owners in the south.

  When the United States was founded, slave farming was the most obvious private industry that relied on guns. In order to prevent slaves from rioting and fleeing, unofficial "slave patrol" system appeared in southern States, which is also one of the origins of American police system. According to the logic of slave owners, these slave patrols are also "well-disciplined militia" mentioned in the Second Amendment to the Constitution. The existence of slavery also explains why the amendment emphasizes that "well-disciplined militia" is crucial to national security, because only whites could join the militia at that time. Emphasizing that "militia" owns guns, not individuals, can exclude blacks from the ranks of gun owners and realize the absolute superiority of whites over blacks in force. At that time, the slave uprising in the French colony of Haiti was in full swing, and black slaves slaughtered a large number of white slave owners, which seriously stimulated American slave owners.

  It can be said that it is an inevitable interest proposition of these people to emphasize the gun support right of white militia.

  The Paradox between Gun Control and Law

  At this point, we can see that the Second Amendment to the American Constitution is out of touch with the development of the times, and the basis of legislation at that time seems to be contrary to the basic moral standards of mankind today. This amendment is also the most fundamental legal reason for the inability to control guns in the United States today.

  However, as a basic law, the American Constitution can hardly be amended again. According to the current law, amending the Constitution requires at least two-thirds of the members of the Senate and the House of Representatives, respectively. However, in the Congress where politics and lobbying prevailed in Jin and Yuan Dynasties, lobbying organizations, represented by the National Rifle Association of the United States and reflecting the interests of various arms dealers, have long held key members firmly in their own hands. Not to mention amending the constitution, any attempt to tighten gun control at the state and federal levels will be strongly and effectively stopped by the Rifle Association.

△ The National Rifle Association (NRA) is one of the most important political lobbying groups in the United States. (Source: NRA official website)

  Not only Congress, but also the judiciary has played a very disgraceful role in the problem of gun proliferation in the United States.

  Compared with long-barreled firearms, pistols are more secretive, which is beneficial for gunmen to engage in large-scale shooting by surprise, and is also very suitable for suicide. Therefore, the city government of Washington, the capital of the United States, once attempted to completely ban the possession of pistols. However, in 2008, the United States Supreme Court ruled that the actions of the Washington municipal government were unconstitutional, and at the same time reinterpreted the Second Amendment, confirming that the right to own guns was not limited to militia, but included all individuals. Since the ruling of the Federal Supreme Court is final, it means that gun control efforts in many states have been wasted.

  The game of gun control and gun prohibition

  Of course, the justices of the Federal Supreme Court did not forget to show their "neutrality" in their judgments, claiming that guns and gun rights still need to be managed by someone. Nice words, but how to "manage" guns is a mess that puzzles American politicians.

  Due to the federal nature of the United States, the responsibility for formulating specific gun management policies is shared by the federal government and local governments. The federal government is responsible for issuing gun sales licenses and conducting background checks on gun buyers to confirm that they have no criminal record before they can legally hold guns. Local governments are responsible for formulating specific provisions for carrying guns in public places. It seems that governments at all levels have a clear division of labor, but there are many loopholes in actual operation.

  First of all, not everyone needs a federal license to sell guns. If they are selling guns in their own homes, online or at gun exhibitions, they do not need a federal license to sell guns for long-term profit. Because enterprises and individuals with sales licenses have the responsibility to inform the federal government of the identity of gun buyers so that they can conduct background checks, this means that when sellers without licenses sell guns, the federal government cannot investigate the identity of buyers. According to a study conducted by Harvard University in 2017, one-fifth of the gun transactions in the United States have not undergone background checks.

  Second, since gun ownership has become a "natural human right", only a few states require residents to apply for a gun license. Therefore, most of the time, the government passively screens the legitimate owners when the gun trade takes place. Except for those States that need to have a license to buy guns, local governments can’t actively screen gun owners or train gun owners in the code of conduct.

  Third, even if a comprehensive background check system is implemented nationwide, as many gun control groups now support, to plug the loopholes that guns can’t be investigated during gun exhibitions or online purchases, or to implement a nationwide gun purchase license system, it can’t solve a core problem, that is, because guns in the United States have been flooding for a long time, a large number of criminals illegally buy guns through the black market instead of through formal channels. This means that no matter how many gun control policies are formulated by the government, as long as the United States can’t implement a strict national ban on guns, people who want to own guns always have ways to deal with it. All gun control policies instead of banning guns are aimed at preventing gentlemen and not villains.

  Why is there no solution to the rampant gun violence?

  The problem of gun proliferation in the United States is a typical institutional case. The revision of the Constitution, the legislation of Congress, the interpretation of the law by the courts, the separation of powers between the central and local governments, lobbying and the intervention of interest organizations, almost all kinds of gloomy aspects in American politics are reflected in the gun issue. To solve the problem of gun violence in the United States, I’m afraid what we need is not to tinker with a certain law, but to thoroughly reform the system of representative federalism with three powers, which is full of ills. But this is completely impossible to achieve in the United States today, so we can only let it go.

  Now, Americans are completely numb to large-scale gun incidents. Since the beginning of this year, there have been nearly 250 large-scale shooting incidents that have caused more than three casualties. Gun control, like other stubborn diseases that cannot be solved because of the American system, has become a tool used by politicians to attack each other. The more quarrelling, the less means to solve it properly, and the gun violence will continue. After all, members of parliament live in wealthy areas with good public security, and the shooting of people is still far away from them. (Contributed by Jing Zhao)

Floods and geological disasters in British Columbia, Canada have caused four deaths, and the province has imposed an oil restriction order.

  China News Service, Toronto, November 21st (Reporter Yu Ruidong) According to the data updated on November 20th in British Columbia, Canada, severe floods and geological disasters in the province have caused four deaths, and one missing person has not been found yet.

  The disappearance and death occurred in Lillooet in the Fraser Valley and near Duffy Lake in the inland area of the province. The deceased was a woman and three men.

  The province’s autopsy service said that law enforcement and search and rescue personnel have been trying to search for people reported missing in extreme rainfall and mudslides in the past five days. Relevant departments will do their best to determine the unfortunate situation, record it, and make suggestions if possible to prevent similar deaths from happening again in the future.

  Extreme weather, such as continuous heavy rainfall since the 14th of this month, has caused rare severe floods, landslides, mudslides and other disasters in British Columbia, located at the western end of Canada and along the Pacific coast. About 18,000 people were forced to evacuate due to the flood, nearly 10,000 houses were under evacuation orders or evacuation warnings, and a large number of farm animals died in the flood. British Columbia declared a two-week state of emergency on the 17th.

  In order to ensure disaster relief, British Columbia announced the implementation of temporary fuel restrictions on the 19th. Ordinary people’s vehicles are only allowed to buy 30 liters of fuel at each gas station. This measure is planned to be implemented for about 10 days. This has led to long queues at oil stations in the Greater Vancouver area, and some oil stations have sold out of fuel.

  At the same time, although some of the affected highway sections have gradually resumed traffic, British Columbia still prohibits vehicles that make "non-essential" trips from entering specific sections. The province also reminded people that drinking wells in flood-affected areas may have been polluted.

  The meteorological department has issued an alarm, and it is expected that heavy rain, strong winds and low temperature will sweep across the northern coast of British Columbia and move south in recent days.

  The Canadian federal government has deployed troops to assist British Columbia in flood fighting and disaster relief. The federal government and the province also set up a joint working group on supply chain to promote the full recovery of logistics as soon as possible. (End)

Credit card customers are misled by insurance sales and want to cancel their cards.

  Now when receiving a call from the insurance company, Mr. Zhu has a firm attitude: No consideration! He no longer trusts the bank as before, and even considers canceling the bank’s credit card.

  Recalling that he bought an insurance five years ago, Mr. Zhu still regrets it very much, and this regret will accompany him for five years until the payment expires in 10 years. Since he bought insurance, the insurance company has called him every now and then to promote other insurance products, and he feels overwhelmed.

  He said: "This insurance is in the name of the bank credit card center. I bought it out of trust in the bank, but after carefully studying the contract, I think this insurance is not suitable for me. I want to surrender, but I can only negotiate with the insurance company!"

  Should I add insurance if my credit record is good?

  "When they called me, they first exchanged pleasantries with you and told you that from your credit card consumption record, your credit is very good. Soon, they will tell you that your current insurance coverage is low, and there are more suitable ones for you, so let me continue to add insurance. The 10-year payment period should be recalculated from the date of adding insurance. In this case, I can only resolutely refuse. " Mr. Zhu told reporters.

  "This doesn’t mean that if I accept their advice again, the payment for the first five years will not count, so it won’t be a bottomless pit?" Mr. Zhu was very excited when he talked about it.

  After the mood calmed down a little, Mr. Zhu recalled to the reporter the situation when he bought this insurance.

  At that time, during the Beijing Olympic Games, Mr. Zhu just got off the bus when he returned to Beijing on vacation from other places, and he received a phone call from his credit card issuer recommending him to buy an insurance from a foreign insurance company. "Buying an insurance policy means an extra guarantee, which is a good thing. At the same time, I trust this bank, so I readily accept the products they recommend." Mr. Zhu said.

  However, in fact, Mr. Zhu, then 25, knew so little about insurance that he had never even heard of the name of the company that recommended buying insurance.

  "At that time, people who claimed to be the bank credit card center only briefly introduced the function of this insurance on the phone and told me that if they suffered from serious diseases during the 20-year insurance period, they could get compensation from the insurance company, but they didn’t even tell me how much they could pay at that time." Mr. Zhu told reporters.

  Because Mr. Zhu was outdoors when he received the phone call, he didn’t calm down and think carefully about what major diseases were included. If he felt that it was inappropriate to surrender, he would have any losses, and he agreed to buy insurance.

  Credit card transfer is silent.

  According to Mr. Zhu’s insurance contract, the main insurance he purchased is the endowment assurance of Happy Life (2008 edition), and the monthly insurance premium is 442.80 yuan, and the long-term critical illness insurance (2008 edition) is paid in advance with Happy Life, and the monthly insurance premium is 44.30 yuan. The payment period is 10 years and the insurance period is 20 years.

  "I remember calling me on Friday afternoon, and they sent the insurance policy on Monday morning, only one weekend apart." Mr. Zhu said. At that time, the insurance policy was sent to the unit by express delivery. "When I arrived, the courier asked me to sign it. Without telling me any information, I didn’t think much, so I signed it." Mr. Zhu said.

  These seemingly ordinary things have quietly buried hidden dangers for Mr. Zhu. Because the monthly payment of this insurance product is 487.10 yuan, the amount is not large, and this fee is directly transferred from the credit card, and Mr. Zhu does not have to go to the bank to pay in person. In addition, he has just come back from vacation and is busy with work, so at first, buying insurance did not attract his high attention.

  When he was free, Mr. Zhu began to carefully consider whether it was appropriate to buy this insurance, and at this time it was three months since the policy came into effect.

  Looking at this contract, Mr. Zhu felt more and more wrong, so he searched online. This search doesn’t matter. Some comments on the Internet made Mr. Zhu gasp.

  "I found that this insurance is very poor in the evaluation of netizens, and I think it is not suitable. I want to surrender." Mr. Zhu told reporters, however, after communication, Mr. Zhu learned that if he surrendered, his losses would be great. "If the payment is less than one year, I will not get any premium when I surrender, which is equivalent to three months of premium payment. My monthly salary was not high at that time, and the three-month premium was definitely not a small amount for myself. " Mr. Zhu said.

  Faced with such an outcome, Mr. Zhu felt very helpless and could only continue to pay the premium. The reporter saw in the insurance contract that his main insurance period was less than one year without cash value, and the cash value at the end of the first year was 8.82 (calculated by the amount of insurance in 1000 yuan). Then, even if he surrendered his insurance at the end of the first year, he could only get 1,764 yuan, while the premium paid in one year was 5,845.2 yuan.

  In an interview with reporters, Mr. Zhu admitted that he was ill-considered in purchasing this insurance at that time and made a hasty decision.

  Are deep cooperation advantages and disadvantages?

  In the cooperation between insurance companies and banks, in addition to borrowing bank outlets for sales, more cooperation has gone deep into credit card centers. Because credit card customers generally have good credibility, strong economic strength and high insurance awareness, insurance companies attach great importance to it.

  At the same time, because of the natural trust in banks, it is easier for insurance companies to sell insurance in the name of bank credit card centers. However, insiders pointed out that it is understandable for insurance companies and banks to carry out in-depth cooperation. If the sales behavior norms will make customers more convenient, it will be good for everyone. However, if the sales behavior of bancassurance is not more standardized, there will be misleading sales or telephone nuisance, and even insurance disputes, which will make consumers feel rebellious towards insurance companies and banks, and banks may lose some of their customers.

  "No matter when the bank credit card center sold it to me on the phone or when the insurance policy was sent to me by courier and asked me to sign it, they didn’t emphasize the risk of surrender, nor did they prompt what should be determined before signing. I think they avoided the weight and misled me. I made a decision too quickly." Mr. Zhu said.

  After this incident, Mr. Zhu’s attitude towards insurance changed from accepting to refusing. He said: "If insurance companies are dishonest when selling insurance, even if they have insurance, they may not be guaranteed."

  Five years later, Mr. Zhu still pays the premium every month, but he has long ignored the significance of this policy. He said: "It’s time to deposit a current deposit and take it out when the insurance expires. But who knows what will happen in 20 years? Maybe insurance still has some effect. " In his speech, Mr. Zhu has both helplessness to insurance and a little affirmation of the significance of insurance. (Securities Daily Leng Cuihua)

Central Meteorological Observatory: From September 26 to 28, the super typhoon "Olu" will seriously affect the South China Sea and the coastal areas of South China.

  According to the website of the Central Meteorological Observatory on September 25th, Typhoon Olu, the 16th this year, was formed in the east of the Philippines on the afternoon of September 23rd, and rapidly strengthened from a strong tropical storm to a super typhoon from the evening of the 24th to the night. At 17: 00 on the 25th, its center (super typhoon level) was located on the northwest Pacific Ocean about 135km north-east of Manila, Philippines, and the maximum wind force near the center was 16 (55m/s).

  It is estimated that Olu will move to the north-north direction at a speed of about 25 kilometers per hour. It will land on the eastern coast of Luzon Island in the Philippines this evening (48-55 meters/second, with a magnitude of 15-16, strong typhoon or super typhoon), and it will pass through Luzon Island at night, with a weakened intensity. It will enter the central and eastern South China Sea from the morning of 26th, then move to the west, and gradually approach the eastern coast of Vietnam. The Central Meteorological Observatory issued a typhoon blue warning on the morning of September 25th.

  Gale forecast: Affected by cold air and Olu, there will be 6-8 gale in the western coast of Taiwan Province Island, Fujian coast, Guangdong coast, Hainan island coast, Taiwan Province Strait, bashi channel, most of the South China Sea, Beibu Gulf, Qiongzhou Strait and Sansha Islands from the night of 25th to 14: 00 on 28th, with gusts of 9-10, among which the winds in the central South China Sea, Xisha Islands and the waters near zhongsha islands.

  Rainfall forecast: From 26th to 28th, there will be heavy rain in Hainan Island and Sansha Islands, and local heavy rain; The accumulated precipitation in the above areas can reach 80 ~ 120 mm, and the local area is more than 200 mm; The maximum hourly rainfall is 30 ~ 50 mm.

  Meteorological disaster risk forecast: From 26th to 28th, flash floods and geological disasters occurred in eastern Hainan Island, and some small and medium-sized rivers had meteorological risks close to the warning water level.

  Typhoon Olu has a fast moving speed and strong intensity. When it affects the South China Sea and South China coast, the strongest typhoon level or super typhoon level can be reached, and the wind is strong. Ships and personnel sailing in the central South China Sea, Xisha Islands and waters near zhongsha islands need to be evacuated in time, and ships near the South China coast need to return to Hong Kong in time to take shelter from the wind.

  In addition, there has been continuous rainfall in Hainan Island since September 20, especially in the eastern part of Hainan Island. Due to the superposition of typhoon heavy rainfall, the risk of mountain torrents, geological disasters and floods in small and medium-sized rivers is high, so it is necessary to strengthen prevention, and low-lying farmland should be dredged in advance to prevent waterlogging disasters.

6 dead and 30 wounded! The worst conflict in Lebanon in 13 years was related to the big bang.

  BEIJING, Oct. 15 (Xinhua)-The worst armed conflict in 13 years broke out in Beirut, the capital of Lebanon, on the 14th. Demonstrators demanding the dismissal of the judge of the port bombing were shot, which led to fierce clashes, killing 6 people and injuring 30 others. Lebanese Prime Minister Mikati called on everyone to remain calm, and UN Secretary-General Guterres called for an immediate end to the violence and continued investigation into the devastating explosion in August 2020.

  6 dead and 30 injured

  The worst conflict in 13 years!

  On the 14th, a demonstration in Beirut, the capital of Lebanon, turned into a serious conflict, causing dozens of deaths and injuries.

  According to media reports, under the organization of the radical organization Hezbollah and its allies, thousands of people demonstrated and protested, demanding the dismissal of the chief judge in charge of investigating the Beirut port explosion. But after the gunmen opened fire on the protesters, a fierce armed conflict broke out.

  The Lebanese Interior Minister said that six people were killed and 30 injured in the conflict. The Lebanese army says it has detained nine suspects who opened fire on protesters during the Beirut demonstration and is investigating.

  Hezbollah and its allies said in a statement on the 14th that their protesters were shot by snipers deployed on the roof. In the following hours, gunshots were heard on the streets of Beirut, and ambulances honked their horns to rescue the wounded. A security official said that four shells landed near a private school, causing panic.

  The weapons used in the exchange of fire include pistols, Kalashnikovs and rocket-propelled grenades, which seriously escalated the tension. This is the most serious armed conflict in Lebanon since 2008.

  Related to the big bang in the harbor.

  Multi-party urged to remain calm.

  The core of this conflict is the explosion of Beirut port on August 4, 2020, which killed at least 215 people, injured thousands and partially destroyed nearby communities. The explosion was one of the largest non-nuclear explosions in history, which further plunged Lebanon, which had been hit by political differences and unprecedented economic and financial collapse, into trouble.

  So far, no one has been held accountable for this extraordinarily serious chemical explosion. Bertard, the judge in charge of investigating the port bombing, was strongly opposed by Hezbollah and its allies, who accused him of political bias.

  In a statement, Mikati, the newly appointed Lebanese Prime Minister, called for calm and urged people "not to be involved in civil strife".

  The State Council spokesman Price told reporters: "We join the Lebanese authorities in calling on everyone to calm down and let tensions cool down."

  In response to the violence in Lebanon, UN Secretary-General Guterres called for an immediate end to the violence and continued investigations into the devastating explosion in August 2020.

  Joanna Voronyi, the United Nations Special Coordinator for Lebanon, also issued a statement condemning the violence on 14th. She stressed the need for restraint, maintaining calm and stability, and ensuring the protection of civilians.

The day when the college entrance examination ended … I will never forget it in my life.

  Do you remember what you did the day after the college entrance examination? Tearing books, yelling at the floor, and confessing?

  What was your mood at that time? Is it ecstasy to finally say goodbye to Huanggang question bank and Hengshui golden roll, a relief to end years of hard study, or a sudden farewell to a "passionate burning years"?

  Out of the examination room, we even forgot the topic we just did, but we will remember the empty classroom and the mixed feelings in our hearts all our lives.

  I thought I would be ecstatic, but I was surprisingly calm.

  Before the exam, I have been looking forward to the end of the college entrance examination, imagining all kinds of "eat, drink and be merry" after the college entrance examination. However, when I walked out of the examination room, I found that my heart was so calm and even empty.

  @ Reality is so straightforward. At the countdown to the college entrance examination, I said how to be happy after the exam. In the end, I spent it most calmly.

  Senior @ Amo said that I thought there would be ecstasy of relief after the college entrance examination, but it was actually very calm. Go home for dinner, chat with my mother for a while, and then I remember when I was in bed. In fact, I can play games for a while, so I don’t have to go to bed so early.

  @ Miss Xu said that it took a long time to be convinced that she really graduated. Maybe every turning point in life is like this. What you’ve been looking forward to for a long time suddenly hits you, and you’re at a loss.

  The college entrance examination is a crossroads that separates many people.

  Byron has a poem: If we meet someday, how will I congratulate you, with tears and silence? This sentence is also suitable for old classmates who meet again.

  @kookaburraC said that the day before the college entrance examination, he was intimate and turned around casually, and then he separated from the mountains and seas, never to see or even hear from him.

  When we pack up and leave school as usual, we don’t realize that some people turn around for life.

  @ Su Mi Luoluo said that the college entrance examination is a crossroads that separated many people. After many years, we found that even if the place is small, some people may never see it again.

  Chen Chen, an old man, said that all I can think of now has nothing to do with my grades, but everything I met in those years. I just regret that I was in a hurry to say goodbye to everyone.

  After many years, when we miss the college entrance examination, we not only miss that youthful time, but also miss those old classmates we haven’t seen for a long time. How are you doing now?

  How to bid farewell to that "good youth"

  "Shang Hao" means "the best and the best" in Minnan language. In many people’s minds, the college entrance examination is the best time.

  How to bid farewell to that "good youth"?

  The last time I "finished school", I couldn’t bear to walk this way.

  @ Xiaoye said, I walked home with my best friend who went to school every day. The sunset was beautiful that day. We walked very slowly and tacitly, saying that it was to enjoy the sunset, but I really couldn’t bear to end high school.

  Some people choose to take a graduation trip with their classmates and bid farewell to the past.

  @ Miss Xu said that after the college entrance examination, the summer when I played with some good friends was the best summer in my memory. In the long life in the future, it will be very difficult for you to have a summer scene where you can lose all your burdens.

  Some farewells are silently carried out in my heart.

  @ below the eyebrows amputation said that when the five of us stayed up all night in the Internet cafe, we didn’t realize the difference. It was not until everyone went to the school to collect the files on different days that I realized that I really had to say goodbye to everyone and this school. Standing at the door at that time, I suddenly wanted to bow to my alma mater. I looked at the guard, but I didn’t make that bow. I just wiped a tear when I turned and walked out of the school gate.

  Everyone who has experienced the college entrance examination has his own exclusive memory. Whether it is calm, relaxed, lost or unwilling, that time and the sheer effort and effort for a goal are the most beautiful marks of youth. For the rest of my life, I hope that we will always carry that mark and go forward as always. (Wentu/Han Jiahui)
