Li Wei said in "The First Day": "On some days in life, there will always be trivial things that will make you feel extremely happy and light up your life. For example, on a wandering afternoon, you found a toy that you treasured in your childhood in an old stall; Or a hand that holds you and makes you feel warm; Or an unexpected phone call, a sweet word; Or your child suddenly runs into your arms and wants nothing but a loving hug. In life, there are always moments that fill your heart with gratitude: when a certain smell makes your soul dance; When a ray of sunshine pushes warmth through the window; When the road is covered with snow; When the pace of spring approaches, new shoots are thriving ...
