The first snow in 2020

The first snow of 2020 finally fell, one month later than the first snow of 2019, which came in mid-October. Suddenly I remembered Daolang's song "The First Snow in 2002", which contains the following lyrics: The first snow in 2002 came later than usual. The No. 2 bus parked on the eighth floor took away the last falling yellow leaf. Because of this song, the eighth floor of Urumqi has become a must-visit place for mainland tourists to Urumqi. Tourists have to see how the No. 2 bus stops on the eighth floor. This also reminds me of the song "The Girl of Dabancheng" written by Mr. Wang Luobin, the king of western songs. Dabancheng is also famous at home and abroad because of this song. I have met many foreign tourist groups in Dabancheng, and there are even countless domestic tourists. The charm of a song can be seen clearly.

The first snow of 2020 came very late. I checked the weather forecast and found that it was just light snow. Regardless of light snow, the white snow is crystal clear, flying all over the sky, and has a huge destructive power. It can cleanse away all the filth and filth in the world. When the snow falls on the ground, it turns everything that has been ruthlessly swept by the bleak autumn wind into mud and grinds it into dust. Only the green pines are not afraid. Still standing tall despite the severe cold and snow. Every winter, we are looking forward to a heavy snowfall, with the white snow remaining, and the vast northern scenery, thousands of miles of ice and thousands of miles of snow drifting. The purity, nobility, simplicity and unity of snow seem to affect the depths of human souls. No wonder countless literati and poets praise and chant snow endlessly and have endless aftertaste. It reminds me of a poem about snow by Zheng Banqiao that I like very much: Silver sand has no trace for thousands of miles, and the village is idle when a dog barks. The world of white snow is completely silent, demure, and the association of boredom comes to mind on the page.

According to the usual thinking, winter is coming, the snow is falling, all viruses and germs will be frozen to death by the cold, and the coming year will be a new year. However, God did not fulfill his wishes. According to folklore, the Year of Gengzi was a year of disaster. This year, not only Xinjiang but also the whole country and even the whole world were invaded by the COVID-19 virus. The epidemic was severe and it was indeed a year of great disaster. Xinjiang has also experienced two epidemics. The world is still experiencing the second wave of the epidemic. The United States, the most developed country in the world, has infected more than 10 million people, and the number of deaths due to the new coronary pneumonia epidemic has exceeded 250,000. Scientists warn the public: the new coronavirus is not afraid of cold and can survive normally at minus 60 degrees Celsius. Very scary! My primary school teacher told me: Winter is coming, snow is falling, and the cold can freeze germs to death. When spring comes, diseases will be far away from us. But now this statement is completely different, completely different. Not only does the virus not freeze to death, but it also survives better at low temperatures. Subverting imagination, it seems that keeping pace with the times is indeed a very scientific proposition.

Science must keep pace with the times, society must keep pace with the times, each of us and every family must keep pace with the times, and more importantly, our ideas must keep pace with the times. The best is like water, follow the trend of history, adjust your mentality and emotions in a timely manner, match and integrate with social development, and be content with whatever comes. A great man's poem says: Regardless of the wind and waves, it is better than taking a leisurely stroll in the courtyard. Determination, self-confidence, perseverance, tenacity...a poem perfectly presents it.

The severe cold has arrived, and the good days of the new coronavirus have also arrived. The situation of human beings fighting against the epidemic has become more severe and arduous. The expected situation of heavy snow and severe winter crushing viruses and germs will not come. Humanity has no retreat. The only option is to unite as one, strictly guard against it, and unite to eliminate the epidemic. From a global perspective, only our motherland, under the leadership of the Communist Party of China, 1.4 billion Chinese people have united as one and mobilized the whole country to fight against the menacing new coronavirus, paying huge sacrifices, costs and efforts. Later, China became the safest country in the world and the paradise of the world. I am Chinese and I am proud of my motherland! Thanks to the Communist Party of China for working for the well-being of the people! I firmly believe that under the correct leadership of our party and people's government, the sons and daughters of China will be able to overcome all difficulties and hardships and move from victory to greater victory. The Chinese nation stands among the nations of the world. The rejuvenation of the motherland and the rejuvenation of China are just around the corner!

Cen Shen, a famous frontier fortress poet in the Tang Dynasty, left this poem: The wind in Jianhe was so strong that the snow flakes were wide, and the horseshoes fell off due to the frozen rocks in Shakou. It is talking about the severe winter in Luntai, Xinjiang, which shows the ruthlessness of severe winter. The Chinese people have achieved a decisive victory in the battle against the new coronavirus, although the epidemic is still as ruthless as the cold winter. But we have winners of the National Medal of Honor like Zhong Nanshan, scientists like Li Lanjuan, and people's heroes like Chen Wei... Just like Marshal Chen Yi's poem: The snow is heavy on the green pine, and the green pine is straight and straight. The Communist Party will always be with the people, and there will be no "Flame Mountain" that it cannot overcome. I am reminded of a famous saying by a great man: The army and the people are united as one, and we will see who can be the enemy in the world. No matter how the world changes, no matter how bad the environment, no matter how great the difficulties, as long as there is the wise leadership of the Communist Party of China, as long as there is the Great Steel Wall of the Chinese People's Liberation Army, as long as there is the close unity of the people of all ethnic groups in the country, the Chinese nation will surely be able to Ride the wind and waves and move forward bravely.

The north wind blows the white grass on the ground, and the sky is full of snow in August.

Suddenly a spring breeze came overnight, and thousands of pear trees bloomed.

The pearl curtains are scattered and wet, and the fox fur is not warm and the brocade quilt is thin.

The general's horns and bows cannot be controlled, and the protective armor is still cold.

The vast sea is covered with hundreds of feet of ice, and the gloomy clouds condense thousands of miles away.

The Chinese army prepares wine and drinks for the returning guests, playing fiddles, lutes, and flutes.

Snow falls one after another on the camp gate, and the wind blows and the red flag remains frozen.

I saw you off at the east gate of Luntai. When you left, the Tianshan Road was covered with snow.

You can't be seen on the mountain winding road, and there is only a place for horses to walk in the sky above the snow.

This frontier fortress poem by Cen Shen may be a true portrayal of our current situation.
