Have you ever been to Harbin before? If so, you must came here in Winter or in Summer. Harbin is cool in summer and bitterly cold in winter. For it is an ideal place for those who want to escape hot wave of southern China or those who like appreciating ice and snow scenery spots. In fact, seldom come here in fall. Fact is, autumn of Harbin looks also great.

 

    There is a park, the Harbin children park,  near our work unit. Every noon, I and my collegues have the privilege of rambling in the park. This is a good way to disperse fatige gathered in the morning. The majority of visitors of the park is gray-hairs. Several years ago, I was shocked by those pictures of disppointed elders  in the street of Japan. Japan has tumbled into aging society since 2000. But the same scenarios appear in Harbin too.

 

The Children Park is an artificial park which is a strap-like park. there are lots of amusement facilities scattering here and there. In summer, these facilities are favorates of Children, Because of piercing wind, Children select to stay at home. Lacking of vigor is right the eminent characteristic of  autumn. 

 

Walking on a straight  boulevard, I felt I am walking on a course of philosophy.  Leaves fell hither and thither, dancing with the wind.  They have finished their task and  then falling down to embrace the earth and  will become a part of the earth after a while.  The next spring, new leaves, nourished by falling leaves, will conjure up in a wink. The same kind of drama put up  year after year, which interprets the meaning of lives.  Life and death are perpetual topic of philosophers.

 

Considering of the life circle in nature, I should not fell sad about falling leaves. But for those grannys languishing on the bench, the autumn should stand for some thing ominous.   Their present is our future. Time is omnipotent. Before him, we human beings is not better then a leaf.  What we should do is to cherish time and  lead a meaningful lives.
