A feast for all seasons, see you soon!
The fair spring breeze blows away the tomb of peach blossoms, lonely summer cicadas swoop and fly away, red forests and yellow fruits stained the deep lanes, and winter snow falls on white passerby's black hair, make a cup of tea, and wait for you to come to a thousand mountains and rivers ......

Forest Transformer
A long time ago, in the days when mankind could not preserve fire, there was a hunter whose wife's little brother begged to go hunting with him. When they came to a forest, they saw a macaw's nest in a tree on the edge of a cliff, and the hunter asked his wife's brother to climb the branch to pull out the chicks.

An Archivist of Notable Planetary Events . Runner-Up in New Worlds Challenge.
"Nobody can hear a scream in the vacuum of space, or so they say." The sentence was the fourth or fifth of its kind that I'd received and archived within a few weeks' time -- indirect or roundabout references to old science fiction classics. It was delivered to me by a startling old woman who'd sat herself down on the bench I occupied while waiting for the afternoon express into the old city. She was carrying a large sea green snakeskin handbag that had an over-the-top clasp of golden entwined serpents. A big silvery hairstyle that surrounded her face like an elaborate wire nest. Bulging wrap-around sunglasses that seemed too large for her face.

"Nobody can hear a scream in the vacuum of space, or so they say." I hate to break it to everyone reading this, but that fact is most certainly wrong. Let me explain. Very few people can say they've been to space, I happen to be one of those people who can say that. My name is Reed, I'm here to share my story. I hope this doesn't deter you from space, but I need to share my first hand experience in space. This story takes place about 6 months ago when I got a call from an old friend.

Short Prince
Once upon a time, two princes wanted to go out into the world to grow up. However, soon after they went out, they lived a corrupt life of squandering money and simply did not want to go home again. Their younger brother - a short, unassuming man - went out to find his two older brothers. When he went through all the trouble to find them, they laughed at him, saying that he was young and ignorant of the world and should find a way to get out and travel around. Thus, the three of them embarked on a journey together.

Summer Rain
I love summer rain just like birds love the blue sky and fish love the sea, an innate love. Whenever it rained as a child, I would excitedly carry a big umbrella with my bare feet and my buddies to take the water from the ruts and potholes on the dirt road for half a day. When it rains in summer, parents also suspended their work in the fields, the whole family gathered together is very cozy. Perhaps the summer rain was distasteful to my hard-working parents, but for me, this warmth only became stronger with the arrival of the summer rain.

Optimistic Mindset
A lecturer was giving a lesson to the students, and everyone was listening attentively. A muffled voice came out of the silent classroom: "How much do you think this glass of water weighs?" With that, the lecturer held up a glass of water. Some people said two hundred grams, while others said three hundred grams. "Yes, it is only two hundred grams. So, how long can you hold this glass of water in your hands?" The lecturer asked again. Many people laughed: It's only two hundred grams, so what will happen if you hold it for a long time?
