Although today is only the second day of the May Day holiday, if we count the night before yesterday, it can barely be considered the third day.
This is the first May Day holiday after the lifting of the epidemic. Everyone is enthusiastically planning their travel plans. There was even a phenomenon at Hongqiao Railway Station where all the tickets were sold out for the day. My classmates also started asking me about the software I used to snatch train tickets during the Spring Festival travel rush. Although I haven't used the software for a long time, it is still being updated and my classmates have given positive feedback on its usability. It helped her snatch a ticket. The name of the software is: bypass ticket snatching, https://www.bypass.cn/
I didn't know about this software until after I graduated from college. I have been using this software to snatch tickets during the Spring Festival travel rush for several years. It's free and easy to use, and I am very grateful to the author for continuously updating it. If any students who happen to read this article also have a need to buy tickets, you can give it a try.
On the evening of April 28th, I watched a movie called "So Many Years". It tells the story of classmates who liked each other in high school and reunited after years of separation. I used to dislike watching these kinds of stories, but after watching it that day, I thought about it and realized that although these stories are exaggerated, they can also exist in reality. I don't want to criticize the hard work of the actors just because I don't like it, so now I hope that movies can truly reflect the reality of certain people. The beautiful wish of "May we all live long and share the beauty of the moonlight" is never excessive, especially after three years of hardship during the epidemic.
I often remind myself that as people get older, they tend to become stubborn and arrogant, only believing in their limited experiences from the past, and unwilling to accept new things. I also held these thoughts and allowed myself to accept actors I have never seen in movies. After the rectification of the entertainment industry in recent years, the overall atmosphere has improved a lot, and I hope that new actors can contribute more good works.
Yesterday, I had nothing to do, so I went to the botanical garden. There were very few tourists in the botanical garden, which was a huge contrast to what I expected. But with fewer tourists, I had the mood to walk slowly inside. It was drizzling in the morning, and it was still cloudy. By the evening, the weather improved a bit, and I even saw the sunset after many years of absence.
Working in the city, on one hand, the tall buildings block the horizon, and on the other hand, I can't see the sunset when I get off work late, or I miss the scenery of the setting sun in the subway when I get off work early.
Below are the sunset photos I took yesterday, I hope you like them.
Next to the botanical garden, there is a drive-in theater. I had only seen it in movies before, but yesterday I had the opportunity to experience it.
Compared to a regular movie theater, the venue here is more spacious. With the sunroof open, you can look up at the stars and the moon if you don't want to watch the movie. The air is also fresh. If you arrive early, you can park your car inside, and sitting in the car is more comfortable than in the lobby of a shopping mall. After watching the movie, you can simply drive away without having to take the elevator downstairs to find your car. Moreover, the drive-in theater will record your license plate in the parking system, and you can even have the parking fee waived (I played in the botanical garden all day, and the parking fee was quite expensive, but it was waived in the end).
The movie I watched was "Unfamiliar Life". To be honest, I didn't think it was good. The plot was unappealing to me, and after watching it, I felt that it was pieced together and lacked logical coherence. If we encounter one of the important events in the movie in real life, it would take us several days to resolve it, and it wouldn't be as easy and carefree as in the movie.
