Bravery is the nature of children

Shut Up You This video has been in my playlist for many years. I have watched it from the Mandarin version at the beginning, to the later Northeast Chinese version and Chongqing dialect version, but as a Shandong native, I like it the most. I still like the Zouping version, but unfortunately there is only a few minutes.

I was chatting with my mother some time ago, and suddenly I mentioned something about my childhood. At that time, I lived in the countryside, catching soil yuan, catching grasshoppers, climbing trees, digging holes on the spot to make fires, and doing things like arrogant children, naughty, like a crazy little silly girl, He also fought countless fights with little boys from the same village.

But I don't know since when, my courage has become less and less, even the cicada slough on the tree can scare me. When I think about it now, I am still full of regrets. Because of my timidity, I have forgotten how many wonderful moments I missed and how much I took the blame. I dare not participate in debate competitions, dare not publish my own essays, and even face trumped-up charges in class, I am powerless to refute.

When I saw the story of Gangdan, one stone really stirred up a thousand waves in my heart. Before I decided to do something, I often thought, will it cause bad results? Will it add a little blemish to life?

But God knows, what I have to do and what I can do are only small things the size of sesame and mung bean.

I am timid at every stage of my life. Every time you are divided into classes when you are studying, you go to unfamiliar places when you travel, and you look at irrelevant people on the road.

I felt in a trance that I was a silkworm wrapped in a cocoon. Whenever I thought about the future of life, I was doomed to insomnia that night. There is a very funny thing. I took a super important exam the next day, and I didn't sleep all night the night before.

I don't deny that I'm an introvert, but timidity is like a dark cloud over the sky, obscuring my once bravery. I also slowly discovered that fear would eat all of my personality in a gulp.

I am so envious of Gangdan, he is brave and he can protect himself.

With his jewels in front, I might be able to raise my fist too.

It might take me half of my time to be brave again, but what does it matter? I'm thankful it came back.
