Time is silent, allowing us to pass through.

In early 1915, during a snowy winter, Xu Huanyuan stood outside Li Shutong's courtyard. Without entering, he shouted, "Shutong, my family has gone bankrupt. We'll meet again someday!" Then he turned and left. Li Shutong heard the voice and went out, only to find a string of footprints left on the snow, extending into the distance. The snow was falling "rustlingly" in the sky.

In the spring, the famous "Farewell" was completed. Li Shutong wrote in it, "When will you return after this departure? Don't hesitate when you come back!"

After a hundred years, there are still people singing it. When the song rings out, we are always brought to a certain moment in our own lives, distorting time and space with our memories.

But the colorfulness of life is far more than just farewells. There are: The excitement of obtaining the desired result, the smoothness of understanding something, the calm and gentle walking under the warm sunlight, the sweetness when you and I understand each other, the warmth when the family sits together without any trouble, the inexplicable touch when seeing a corner of a park/store...

Such daily life, although not the most glorious moment, is our deepest quantum entanglement with this world.

The steaming past, the brilliant future, and the concrete and detailed life can interweave at a certain moment, which is particularly beautiful.

Such memories are often concentrated in our photo albums. A photo is like a wormhole.

When looking at the photos, we can clearly remember the situation and even the mood at that time, pulling us back to the past in an instant, making us mistakenly think that life is not a one-way experience process that moves forward with the passage of time, but a narrative network more complex than an epic.

Life also has another side of pressure, depression, powerlessness, and monotony. It is also those moments that can be engraved in the photos, becoming the gentle response in the folds of time given to us.

In this interwoven network of time and space, time is silent, and it is us who traverse through it.

01 Everything Can Be Photographed

A friend said: "Taking pictures" is a hobby without any drawbacks.

And for those who like to take pictures casually, daily life will definitely not be monotonous. Seeing snowflakes dancing in the light beam and hearing the joy of flowers breaking out of their shells when spring comes will make daily life itself an energy reactor that never stops, reorganizing mundane elements into a spiritual fuel that surges forward.

Listen to the stories in their photos:

We always want to leave the present and run quickly towards the future, but it is precisely the inadvertent moments that slip by our side that cure our fatigue.

This year, there is no snow in Beijing. I remember the biggest snow in Beijing in the winter of February 2024. At 10 p.m., I walked out of the subway station. There were few pedestrians. The heavy snow was intertwined with the warm lights, and the whole world seemed to be quiet and slow down. At that moment, all the busy and irritable emotions of those days were swept away.

Nothing is more important than delicious food except taking pictures. Because pictures are another group of our brain cells.

@Xinyuechengfu

The aroma of delicious food floats towards us, like cosmic stardust coming towards us, about to complete an energy exchange with us. At this moment, I myself am also a nebula, staring at a starry sky in the plate, and then folding it to become a ripple in time and space.

It is ourselves who take us through time. This journey of traversing is called "life".

A group photo with my child when traveling to the seaside. We look towards the distance, searching for the distance, but in fact, the distance, like a child, has been growing up silently by our side.

The meaning of life is not the great moment, but to make the daily life that surrounds us more worthy of being remembered.

My child's 12th birthday party. A few good friends were jumping on the grass on the terrace after dinner, facing the warm sunlight and fresh wind. I was happy for the carefree of the teenagers, and also felt the passage of time. There is always a generation in their youth.

Where the light and shadow pass, we turn into a fish and sink into life. Only the fish is not afraid of being submerged by water.

@NuannuanheHuanhuan

This is the first wild camping of our whole family. In the early autumn night, with the mountains as the backdrop and the ground as the mat, the stars in the darkness are particularly shining. Between the heaven and the earth, only the chirping of insects in the grass and the noise of children in this camp are quiet. It is as beautiful as a fairy tale.

Time is like a knife that carves us, and we hold a paintbrush to carve life. What we see and like in our daily life are all traces that someone has worked hard to carve. Therefore, humans like to gather together, and the world is so colorful.

Passing by a store, I saw a grandma with all white hair painting a picture, seriously and devotedly. Although her back was slightly hunched, her red and green clothes were still young. I took a picture casually. At this moment, for me, she is no longer a stranger.

Every choice in daily life is a collapsing point leading to a different greatness. The bedtime stories that mothers repeat are, in a certain dimension, the collective wisdom of humanity, and may also be silently infiltrating and shaping the collective subconscious of human civilization.

On the way to the interest class with my son, before going out, he said, "You all have your own bags. Why don't I have one?" He is imitating us, but this is the beginning of his independent self-awareness.

The greatness of daily life lies in that it is both a humble projection of the laws of the universe and the ultimate temple of the human spirit.

@KexiKehe

My husband is taking pictures for my parents, and I am taking pictures of them. Although the days go by, winter turns to spring, and sometimes it is boring and tiresome, but seeing that they have experienced so much and still love spring, like to joke, and can praise each other, I realize that not resisting the complexity of life, but loving and moving forward with a smile is the greatest power.

Have you ever had such a traversing moment that when you see a certain picture, you can remember the story and feeling in it. It is them that make you feel that life is peaceful and great.

It makes you sigh: Everything is lovely, and life is not bad!
