Write a letter to 2021

Zhu Manting of the future:

Hello there!

I am you in 2019, maybe you will be surprised, how can I write a letter to you, but this is indeed the greeting I wrote to you eight years ago.

Now, you should be about to go to the third year of college. How are you right now? Which university has you been admitted to, is it my ideal university now?

Have you realized the dream that I left 8 years ago, has it become the person I expected to be that kind of person? Have you studied hard and studied hard? Have you taken care of your parents and family?

If everything goes with my ideals, then: You should now be sitting in the classroom of the Shanghai Conservatory of Music; you should sing on the stage; you should work and study outside the school; you should stay with your grandmother at home; look at your parents. Smile; should talk to friends about the future...

Have you never forgotten them, friends and classmates who have said that they will not be separated for a lifetime, are they always in contact with them, are you and their friendship as clean and transparent as before? Meeting is a fate. You should cherish every classmate, every teacher, every good friend, whatever they bring to you, is a landscape on your life journey.

Have you changed the bad temper that caused you to get angry when you were young? Will you still yell at your mom and dad? You have grown up, you shouldn't be so ignorant, you have to be more calm, you are no longer a child, you should become a more mature person.

In 2021, you have grown up, you shouldn't be so ignorant, and you have to go home to accompany your elders. They have put so much effort on your way to school. Shouldn't you return? There is a song that sings like this, "Let's go home and see, go home and see...". Old people will be alone, just like when you were a child, you can't find a parent. They love you. They are no less than you love them. Their love is selfless.

It is already 2021, and the talents must be much more than now. You must study harder, find a good job, and don't worry your parents. If you don't find a suitable job, don't worry, because the opportunity is to fight for yourself. Maybe you work hard. It won't take long for a good job to find you.

In a few years, you are about to break away from the protection of schools and families, and go to the society. There are too many problems in the society waiting for you to solve. You should not back down, you must work hard and believe that you are the best. That difficulty will definitely not break, is it not like this?

Under the transformation of eight years, you will grow stronger and stronger. I wish that in 2021 you can think as good as I think now.

Wish you

Academic progress, I want to make things happen!

Zeng Jin's you: Zhu Manting
