Summer is just around the corner. More and more folks in town go to see the river Hanjiang by car or by bike. Along the majestic river are long stretches of flowers blossoming amid eye-comforting verdure. It is very cool there. The riverbank is the in place to be this season.

Yesterday following the herd, I pedalled a bike to the riverbank. On the way I encountered an elderly couple on a bike, with the gentleman steering and pedalling and the lady on the back seat. The lady was so vivacious that I doubted her real age. A Chinese woman of her generation normally would not be behaving like that.

The scene where the elderly couple were on the same bike was very romantic. It was a feast for my eyes. I had thought that such a picture could only be found in films, but I saw it with my own eyes in my real world. With my eyes glued to the couple, I found their eyes sparkling with love and tenderness. Obviously, they cherished the time they were together.

After I got home, I cast off a lot of negative thoughts from my mind thanks to what I had witnessed on the road. Now, I look ahead to my future full of hope. I will put my time in this world to the best use and relish every minute of it.
