The annual
Qixi festival (also known as Chinese Valentine’s Day) is just around the corner unconsciously. However, how many people still remember this festival? How many people can feel the perplexed feeling at a loss?
A festival can remind you of many bygones, and a loss can enable you to know your past ignorance; however, how many people would try them? Life teaches you the preciousness of what you have lost, unwittingly; however, what is this on earth? Long ago, I knew a feeling which was “love”; years later, I tasted a feeling which was “loss”. Maybe I’ll experience another feeling named helplessness which is the most torturous in near future. I was once accompanied with craziness and corruption, but for now, I’m living for a feeling.
Double Seventh Festival, a festival of Chinese lunar calendar, is still remembered by us. Why do we cherish the memory in such a manner? In my opinion, we are all human beings, we are all earthlings; we have more reminiscences and expectations because of love until our last contribution at the end of life. Life is ephemeral, but how many of us will grasp and cherish it?
Qixi festival is only a common festival. I didn’t even know what Double Seventh Festival was last year; however, for now, I can express my innermost feelings and stuff some crappy words for this post because I know this festival, I know the yearning in my heart; what’s more, I expect a feeling of that kind. When the day comes, maybe I will forget everything, switch off my cellphone and isolate myself from all external associations; I’ll find a place which is surrounded by mountains and has a lake inside it to reward my exhausted heart, because I’ll feel more comfortable only be doing so.
In my memory,
Qixi festival is a day that only the immortals in the heaven can celebrate. For us human beings living on the earth, it is the romance and persistence that are admired. Why is the story of the Cowherd and the Girl Weaver long-lasting? I think that’s because we also like their romance, like the feeling, the so-called accident that is incomprehensible and intangible in others’ eye. What else is more worthwhile pursuing than this feeling?
Qixi festival is only a festival, but I will treasure it. After all, you’ll have to wait for its reappearance for another year.
