Twenty years ago, a big sofa recorded a big happy family. Thirty years ago, the baby girl fell in love, and the parents happily played with their children's wedding photos. 40 years ago, my daughter grew up happily with the hopes of her parents. Fifty years ago, when the old man was a young man, he played with the girl next door, and worked hard together to experience the happiness in life, building this indestructible little family brick by brick.

When looking back on the past, the memory pictures of its fragrant orchid will form a plain but warm life.
