Xia Guang seen in the subway station.

Twilight is coming, and the glow is gradually emerging. In the twilight, the sky is a little red, which sets off the blue residual clouds and has a clear outline.

When I passed the subway station, I saw many people holding their mobile phones to take pictures before I noticed the sunset.

At first, I thought there was something strange in the sky, so I looked in the direction of everyone's mobile phone. It turns out that the sky is just a little redder than usual. I stopped to watch for a while. Mainly depends on how the photographer composes the composition. In the boring walk after dinner, apart from going to the cinema occasionally to watch a movie, my greatest pleasure is to watch the little actions of passers-by idly.

When they see the sunset glow, most people just hold up their mobile phones and wipe them casually. Looking back quickly, they quickly put away their mobile phones and continued on their way. It seems that beauty is like wool. If others fail, they will stop and fail. Otherwise, what should we do? As for where the loss is, probably no one will think about it.

In addition to the vulgar trend of these people taking pictures of me, there are occasionally refined people who pursue photography. For example, a girl in front of me, wearing a floral skirt, combing a ball head and stepping on a pair of canvas shoes, exudes a literary atmosphere except LV bags. She seems to be very particular about composition, constantly changing angles with iPhone X, but never pressing the photo button.

I look a little worried. I looked at her screen carefully, but I was surprised to find that composing music was really not easy.

This sunset glow is always a little cramped.

I looked up and looked away from her mobile phone screen. When I look at the sunset carefully, I find that it is not the sunset that is cramped, but the rambling buildings that make it look cramped. Reminds me of the Beijing skyline. A while ago, the billboard was demolished vigorously to let everyone see the less cramped sky. From this point of view, this move is somewhat wise.

A few years ago, I lived in a small county in Fujian for about half a year. The sunset there left a deep impression on me.

It was midsummer when I first went, which is the current season in Beijing. There are mountains everywhere in the small county town. If it is a little farther away from the county seat, the residents will become very scarce. Walking into any path under the mountain, you can go straight ahead, and it seems that there is no end. I used to think that the word winding path was quite artistic. When I am here, I will have a deeper understanding of this secluded font, which is not only quiet, but also hazy and cool.

There is no one in the mountain, but it is not silent. The high and low intertwined insects and birds, and the rustling sound of colliding with leaves echoed, enough to drown out many small sounds. Until you feel as if there are some different small voices in the bottom noise, then look up and there is a squirrel on the road, with small eyes looking at you. It's not afraid at all. It seems to lead you to a deeper mountain. At this time, a person can't help thinking of the story in the serial, and his heart is cold. Suddenly I was hit on the head by something, which scared the whole person to jump up and lie on the ground for a long time, only to find that it was just a ripe wild fruit that fell from the tree.

A little fear can always arouse people's curiosity. Walking in the mountains, you can always find the motivation to move on. Sometimes when I hear the sound of running water in front of me, I can't help but walk quickly and find that there is indeed a mountain spring falling from a slightly higher place, forming a small waterfall. Holding a little water in my hand, I tried to take a sip, which was sweet and crisp, and the summer heat disappeared. Just when I was happy, I found several bare graves not far away. I was scared and left quickly and walked forward quickly.

I don't know how long it took, but finally I came to a place where I was suddenly enlightened and joined this road. I found myself halfway up the mountain. Xiaguang reflected the whole sky, and a little kitchen smoke floated out from the scattered houses in the distance, rose to a high place, and stood still, attached to the clouds in the sky. How apt it is to think of Li Bai's sentence, "Autumn waters set the sun together, and distant mountains are extinguished by time".

Such a sunset glow is actually very common in the small county town in that mountainous area. Sometimes, the sunset glow is not completely red, but seven colors. Scattered on a large cloud at will, it will become various shapes with the wind. The first time I saw that colorful auspicious cloud, it was like an angry phoenix spreading its wings, which shocked my heart. I thought it was a miracle of the times that bloomed for me alone. At that time, I only hated being born at the wrong time. In ancient times, I must have picked up a bamboo pole and launched a peasant uprising to take the Central Plains.

Later, I stayed for a long time, only to find that rosy clouds, colorful auspicious clouds and rainbows are all common sights in the mountains, and I can only trick a second-hand literary youth who went to work in the city from the countryside and returned home with picky habits to raise his mobile phone to take pictures. The locals are used to it and are too lazy to look up. These are common natural phenomena after rain, and the most important thing in the mountains is rain.

There is so much rain in that small and medium-sized county in the mountainous area that it can be described as waves turning over clouds. It is foolish to go out and watch the weather. Because the sun is shining high and the sky is clear, there may be a sudden rain that will drench you in lightning speed. Sometimes you can race against the rain. You run ahead and the rain chases after you. I just won a few times. Run to the place where the sun is the fiercest, and the rain finally stops and doesn't go forward. I stood looking back. It's raining heavily where I run. It was a wonderful feeling, as if everything in this mountain was alive, revealing similar personalities to people everywhere. There is a long and narrow umbrella in the local people's small electric car, which is used to cope with this kind of unexpected rain.

Those few months in the mountain city naturally made me remember the sunset glow, and I felt that it should be reflected in the sky and red. Lighting is reassuring. The sun seems to say, let's go and see you tomorrow. And tomorrow, it appeared on time, still the same color. Just like your family, you will always appear at the end of the road when you think you should. They all seem to be trying to resolve the impermanence of life with business as usual, so that the sheltered people can temporarily forget the pain that time will eventually bring.

At that time, I exhausted all my imagination. I couldn't imagine that Xia Guang would be so crowded.

Crowded in this big city.
