　　The Eternal Smile， 50×76cm， September 2020

　　我们每个人从呱呱落地之时便带来了微笑，那份微笑是我们对于这个世界的一份善意与期望。微笑是这个世间最优美的语言，它让我们人与人之间的交往多了一丝温暖，少了一些隔阂，多了一份信任，少了一份猜忌。可你还记的自己最近一次发自内心的微笑是什么时候吗？也许大概是很久以前了吧。孩提时的我们会因为朋友分享的半颗碎碎冰而开心微笑，会因为家长老师的一句赞赏而欣喜若狂，会因为第二天的春游而兴奋的彻夜难眠，那时的快乐简单又纯粹，那时的微笑单纯而美好。有人说：“成长是一半明媚，一半忧伤的眼眸。”小时候的我们总是痴痴的幻想着成人世界的样子，盼望着自己快快长大。可渐渐的，不知怎的，我们的愿望慢慢被实现，那份笑容却愈发地意味深长。学生时代的海誓山盟，天荒地老无论多么的真挚感人，忠贞不渝，却终抵不过现实的残酷。一个选择离开，一个愿意留下，最后只有微笑着道一句各自安好，然后转身任由泪水划过脸庞。工作后的我们，渐渐学会收敛起自己的锋芒，懂得了谦逊避让，即使被人误解在偏僻的角落里放声大哭，却仍要强迫自己学会坚强，然后擦干眼泪，微笑着面对众人。有人成功的微笑背后隐藏了无数的泪水与汗水，有人在奔向金钱利益的大路上学会了微笑着曲意逢迎，有人因生存学会了隐忍，有人在浮华的世界里选择了沉沦。

　　或许这纷繁复杂的微笑背后隐藏了太多的无奈与心酸，忧伤与快乐。但无论怎样，当你困顿迷茫的时候，请想一想儿时那个单纯善良的自己，简单快乐的生活，也许你会豁然开朗。尽管生活固然带给我们些许不如意，但我们仍要心向阳光，感恩荆棘丛中的磨砺，感恩成长道路上每一个帮助你、指引你前进的人，学会用一双善良明媚的心感知这世间的美好与温存，给心灵留一份净土，做最纯真的自己。愿你我走出半生，归来仍是少年，愿你我永远年轻，永远热泪盈眶......

　　The Eternal Smile

　　Everyone was born with a smile， which shows the kind and expectation to the world. Smile is the most beautiful language in the world， it makes our interpersonal communication more warm， less estrangement， more trust， less suspicion. But do you remember the last time you smiled from the bottom of your heart？ Maybe it was occured long time ago. When we were kids， we smiled because of a half ice cream shared from a friend； we overjoyed because of the praise from teachers and parents； we were so exciting that cannot sleep whole night because of the spring outing in the next day. The happiness at that time is plain and pure， the smile of that moment is simple and beautiful. But someone used to say that “Growth is a half bright and half sad eyes. “We always fantasize about the adult world and looking forward to grow up quickly in our childhood. But gradually， somehow， as our wishes were coming true， the smile became more and more meaningful. Though the solemn pledge of love and stay in love forever were unswervingly promised during the school days， no matter how impressive they were and how firm they were， it still couldn‘t defeat the reality. One chose to leave， another decided to stay， they could do nothing but say “Each well.”  with a smile， then turned back and let the tears run down their face. We learned to convergence the edge and keep humility and low profile after entering the society. Even though we were misunderstood by others and cried in a remote corner， we still had to force ourselves to learn to be strong， wiped away the tears and smiled at everyone. Some successful smile implied countless tears and sweat， someone smiled to flatter others on the way to pursing the money and interest， someone learned to endure because of survival， someone chose to sink in the flashy world.

　　Perhaps these complicated smiles hidden behind too many helpless and sad， depression and happy. But no matter how， when you are stuck and confused， please recall your simple and kind childhood， happy and pure life， maybe you will suddenly feel light and dawned. Although life is admittedly bring us a little unpleasant， we still need to long yearned for the sun. Appreciating the hone from the brambles， gratitude to those who used to help us and guide us forward as we were growing up. Learning to use a kind and bright heart to perceive the world of good and gentle， leaving a pure land for your heart， do the most true of your own. May you return with a young heart after years of fighting， may you “O ever youthful，O ever weeping”....
