A Beautiful Pink School Bag |
|
|
I remember it was during my childhood when my classmate, Wang Li, carried a
beautiful pink school bag. For some reason, I took one glance at it and
instantly fell in love. That day, my mind was filled with thoughts of Wang Li,
and even though the teacher was giving a lecture, it felt like they weren't
speaking at all.
As soon as school ended, I couldn't wait to rush back home. Once I arrived, I
pleaded with my mother to buy me that pink school bag. However, my mother said,
"Your current school bag is still new. Why do you want to buy another one?"
After persistently begging, my mother finally agreed.
The next day, I was incredibly excited. I felt light and airy as I walked. Even
the honking horns on the road, which I usually disliked, sounded pleasant to my
ears.
When my father returned home that evening, he actually brought the pink school
bag for me. I immediately snatched it from his hands, feeling so delighted and
overjoyed. But as I was admiring myself in the mirror and about to leave, I
noticed a large bruise on my father's knee. I was petrified instantly. I asked
my mother and learned that my father accidentally scraped it against someone
else's car while rushing.
My mood suddenly turned heavy. How could I have become infatuated with this
school bag without any consideration? I didn't even know myself. My father,
seeing my disappointment, said to me, "It's good to appreciate beauty, but
blindly following others won't allow you to truly experience it."
The next day, I happily carried my new school bag to school. But when I turned a
corner at the staircase, I saw Wang Li again, and she had a new school bag—sky
blue in color, far more beautiful than my pink one.
From that day on, I still loved beauty. Not for any particular reason, but
because beauty gave me aesthetic taste and endless inspiration. It made me
realize that beauty isn't just outward appearance; it can also emanate from
within.
Eventually, my pink school bag became worn out. However, I still kept it because
it served as a guiding light in my life. |
