Rare! The Mid-Autumn Festival and National Day have been celebrated together only four times in the 21st century. What do you think of this?

There will be overlaps like this, which is also the reason why our country uses the solar calendar and the lunar calendar to calculate at the same time.

We all know that the Mid-Autumn Festival falls on August 15th in the lunar calendar, while the National Day falls on October 1st in the solar calendar. The date of the Mid-Autumn Festival in the solar calendar is not fixed each year. According to expert calculations, there are only four chances that the Mid-Autumn Festival and the National Day will be combined into one in the 21st century (that is, the Mid-Autumn Festival and the National Day will fall on October 1st). We have already experienced two of them. They are 2001 and 2020 respectively. The other two times are slightly further away from us, namely 2031 and 2077. Do you still remember yourself in 2001? What were you doing during the Mid-Autumn Festival and National Day that year? The last time the National Day and Mid-Autumn Festival were combined into one festival was in 2001, 19 years ago.

When I think of myself back then, it seems that when I was still studying, I was still living in this city with my dearest parents. The first big white cat I raised back then had just turned two years old. It always clung to me and stayed by my side. Because I had to live in college to study, the accommodation conditions at that time were relatively difficult, and my home was very far from the school. In order for my parents to live more comfortably, the whole family moved to a community very close to the university, about one stop away. It can be reached quickly by bicycle, and in case of special weather, it only takes one stop by bus. The first friend I made in college was a very enthusiastic girl from the Northeast. She often let me sit on the back seat of her bicycle and take me to school with her. At that time, the Internet had just begun to become popular, and my family bought me my first assembled computer, which cost more than 6,000 yuan, which was quite expensive considering my parents’ salaries at the time. Now in 2020, the trajectory of life has reached middle age, and the way and attitude towards things have also changed.

The gears of time always run faster than you realize. Every year always slips through your fingers inadvertently. It is different from the students who are taking postgraduate entrance examinations or studying abroad. , my qualifications are still average, I do a simple job, which is proportional to my income. In the eyes of others, I am considered a low-income and low-desire group. I am still with my favorite big white cat, but it is a continuation of that one. I have my own cabin and live a decent 9-to-5 life.

What I reflect on most in middle age is, how can I devote myself to doing what I like?
