As people reach a certain age, they tend to become nostalgic. Uncle Da has grown old, and he often likes to reminisce about the past, about the memories with his beloved woman...
…
He remembers that year when summer turned to autumn, and the cool autumn still carried the warmth of summer. He and his wife came to Guangzhou, the sacred place for young couples—by the banks of the Pearl River.
The ground, just sprinkled with rain, and the stone benches by the bank were still damp. Today marks their third wedding anniversary, and they returned to this place of first love to relive the sweet dreams of the past.
They leaned against the railing, just like two trees leaning on each other, as the gentle river breeze blew, and the river water flowed leisurely in front of them, quietly enjoying the sweetness of love... The tall buildings on both sides cast mysterious, glowing reflections in the water, and a luxurious, resplendent night cruise ship slowly approached from the east, capturing their attention. After a burst of laughter and chatter, the river surface returned to calm.
People really know how to enjoy life. After a long day of work, sitting on a comfortable night cruise ship, admiring the enchanting night scenery on both sides, chatting with friends about work and life, or like this couple, quietly coming here to date.
Unknowingly, the rain had dampened their shoulders. The night here, the rain here, accompanied this couple deeply in love. How they wished their love could be as eternal and unchanging as the surging river water in front of them...
The pot of white orchids on the terrace that bloomed splendidly in summer has withered quite a bit. As summer turns to autumn again, time flies, and before they know it, they have grown old. Yet, those beautiful and sweet memories will forever remain in Uncle Da's heart.
