The beauty of nature contrasting with the challenges of daily life


As the scorching sun beats down on us, we navigate the bumpy road with a sense of urgency, knowing that time is not on our side. But amidst the challenges, the moments of warmth and connection never cease. These touching moments are defined by the simple act of sharing love. Embarking on a journey from Jiaxing's house to Weihong's, we traverse the winding mountain road, surrounded by breathtaking scenery. 



The memory of Weihong selflessly sharing her chocolate with us lingers in our hearts, prompting us to purchase chocolates as a loving gesture in return. It's in these acts of love and the reciprocal responses that we experience touching moments. 



Xiaoshuo's home is nestled amidst deep valleys, where the beauty of nature is contrasted with the challenges of daily life. The narrow path leading from xiaoshou’s house serves as a symbolic link to Xiaoshuo's longing for exploration and discovery. Since our last visit, Xiaoshuo has been eagerly awaiting our return. Seeing his joy filled us with satisfaction, It's in these moments of shared laughter and smiles that we truly feel the depth of connection and love.

 



Meiling resides on the far eastern hillside of a town, a location so remote that even navigation struggles to pinpoint it. With no shuttle bus available, finding her home proves to be a challenge.



Yet, despite the difficulties, thoughts of Meiling linger in everyone's minds as they make their way towards her home. The first time they ventured there, the treacherous mountain and slippery, snowy roads induced fear in our hearts. This visit, we were able to give Meiling some clothing. The joy that radiated from Meiling's face was truly genuine and heartwarming. This pure happiness is indeed touching, leaving a lasting impact on all of us.



True touching moments are also demonstrated through resilience and perseverance. The path to Xiaohao's home is riddled with bumps and challenges, making the journey arduous. Despite the family's poverty and lack of basic furniture, they have not faltered in their pursuit of education and knowledge.




Even in the face of adversity, their spirits remain unbroken, showcasing an unwavering determination to overcome their circumstances. This unwavering spirit and refusal to give up, despite the hardships, is truly touching and serves as a testament to the strength of the human heart.


Being moved is a beautiful and profound experience in the tapestry of human lives. It is a sensation worth treasuring, relishing, and embracing wholeheartedly. The act of being moved holds a unique power within it—it allows us to encounter warmth and to extend warmth to others. It resides deep within our hearts, allowing us to truly understand the complexities and contrasts of life. Being moved is a direct result of love, unravelling the sweetness and authenticity that exists within life itself.


To keep moving and to continuously be moved is to truly live. This perpetual cycle of action and reaction, of giving and receiving, is what breathes life into our existence. It is in this dynamic dance that we find the essence of life—where movement begets emotion, and emotion begets movement. The ability to be moved is a testament to our humanity and our capacity to connect with the world around us. This interplay between action and reaction is what makes life truly meaningful and enriching.
