One afternoon after the snow had stopped, the school suddenly caught fire.
When the snow melted, a large branch was broken off. The branch fell and hit the high-voltage line, causing it to catch fire. The fire spread along with the north wind, and the entire teaching building was on fire.
The students were so frightened by the sudden fire that they didn't know what to do. The teacher shouted for emergency evacuation. I was stuck at the door and couldn't move.
Someone fell down and screamed behind me. I turned around when I heard the sound , and in a trance I saw that the messy classroom suddenly became tidy. My classmates were still in the classroom, the teacher was still teaching, Li Ye was bullying his classmates, Jing Yan was looking at herself in the mirror, He Xubei was sitting there smiling, and I was secretly sleeping on the desk...
"Yi Ping'an, come here quickly!"
The teacher in charge of evacuation was calling my name, and the classmates around me were pulling my clothes to urge me to leave quickly. But I couldn't bear to leave, I wanted to see them again... see them , they were here, the ones I cared about.
But without them, the classroom looked even more messy.
The fire was finally put out, the burned building needed to be renovated, and everyone moved into another teaching building.
Sitting in the classroom are the same classmates as yesterday , with the same teacher and even the same sitting positions.
But it’s different because some of the faces that were once so familiar are missing.
Black smoke rose from the ruins after the fire, as if paying tribute to everything that had happened.
In memory of yesterday, in memory of that summer when I was eighteen, in memory of everything that was lost that year, in memory of those who are gone forever.
Some people said goodbye that year, and my youth also said goodbye that year.
