那段文不是英文，我直接用GOOGLE TRANSLATE

Every Tuesday, this little 3 year old girl sits by the windowsill at 7:20 am.

 

Because the garbage truck is coming.

 

Where a year ago the large garbage truck with bright flashing light still made a deep impression, it is now something else.

It is no longer about the car itself, but about the garbage collector who drives the big car.

 

The garbage man who takes the time every week to stop in front of our house.

He stops the car and switches on the light in his cab.

He smiles.

He waves.

He honks.

Weekly.

 

This guy gets it.

He knows what really matters.

Even in these crazy times...

 

He takes a moment.

And give it some time.

His attention.

And he connects.

 

And Fiep gets it.

I don't have to explain anything to her.

This just happens.

She's here. Weekly. And so does he.

 

Thank you garbage man for doing this.

That you show what really matters.

May you also teach my daughter what real contact is.

What connection is.

Cut through time, appointments, morning rituals and the Paw Patrol episode.

 

Shall we all create a Fiep garbage man moment this week?

Take your time. And give time.

Make real contact.

Such a small effort, such a big effect.

 

This morning the garbage collector drove an extra round.

Including extra swing and honk moment.

Hero.

• 我们这升学小学就分流了，留了上升通道。完全靠成绩。但是小学补上去了，中学掉下来的很多，10-20门课一起上，补习得了吗? -zaocha2002- ♀ (35 bytes) () 12/03/2021 postreply 11:20:42

• 说的不是不同阶层之间，而是同一阶层内部。 -Francine- ♀ (0 bytes) () 12/03/2021 postreply 11:27:12

• 这也还好，小学分流就基本把阶层分开，上大学的中学班大概是15%内的人，不需要互相屠杀争取大学名额。名额已经有了，看你毕业得了不。 -zaocha2002- ♀ (206 bytes) () 12/03/2021 postreply 11:38:27
