2001 I was born in Hongtang Town, Nanxun District, Huzhou City, Zhejiang Province. Mei is a friend who is four years older than me and has watched me grow up. I have played with her for as long as I can remember. I have many memories with her and another friend. But since I went to kindergarten in another place when I was 6 years old, we have gradually lost contact. We usually only see each other during the Chinese New Year when everyone returns to our hometown. Another friend completely lost contact with us after moving.
2004 I was sent to a boarding kindergarten in Bailuqiao Town, Shangcheng District, Hangzhou City, Zhejiang Province. Looking back now, this was probably the darkest episode of my entire childhood. My parents didn't have time to take care of me due to work reasons, so when I was only three years old, I went to a kindergarten 150km away from home to try boarding. I still have some vague memories of that time. At that time, there were only three children living in the whole kindergarten, and I was the youngest. I couldn’t even wash myself before being sent there. I was forced to grow up quickly there, and I had no concept of making friends at all. A particularly profound memory in my mind is my face pressed behind the glass door of the kindergarten, watching other students being picked up by their parents one by one. The road outside the kindergarten was brightly lit, and I knew that there was no one of mine among the parents waiting eagerly at the door. This memory may be a very important reason for my lack of security. A year later, at the strong request of other family members, I was taken home and sent to the nearest kindergarten from my home. After returning home, everyone was only amazed at my growth in personal abilities. For example, I could consciously wash my hands before meals, I could bathe independently, and I could fall asleep independently... No one asked me what happened to me in the boarding kindergarten……I have never talked about this with my parents again.
2005 I returned to Hongtang Town, Nanxun District, Huzhou City, Zhejiang Province to continue studying in kindergarten. I also had my own good friends in the class at that time, but because I transferred schools soon, I lost contact with these friends, and I can’t remember their names at all. I still remember where a few of my friends’ homes were at that time. Every time I pass by their door, I will subconsciously trace the memory back, but I have never tried to contact them.
2006 Due to my father's work, our family moved to Xunnan New Village, Nanxun District, Huzhou City, Zhejiang Province. I transferred to a kindergarten with the best educational resources in the district at that time, where I learned Chinese characters ,Go and Drama... It was also at this time that I met my good friend Xiao Wei. According to him, he was bullied by his teacher in his previous kindergarten, so his parents transferred him here. It was such a fate that we came here from different places at the same time and became good friends. In the next 13 years, although we experienced many tests for entering higher schools, we all went to the same school by coincidence. But in fact, after we graduated from kindergarten, because we went to different classes, our contact gradually became less and less. We only met each other in school and did not communicate too much. After graduating from high school, we gradually communicated more and more because of some common friends, and gradually became very close friends. We still keep in touch frequently until now.
