Reborn Troops

Zhou Wanwan was immersed in the design of the correspondence between gemstones and the heavenly stems and earthly branches.

The pen in my hand quickly sketched lines on the paper, and the teachings of Master Sun Yat-sen kept emerging in my mind.

Suddenly, the door of the store was gently pushed open, and a familiar voice came: "Sister, are you busy?"

She looked up and saw her brother Zhou Guo standing at the door with a blank diary in his hand.

Zhou Guo's face was filled with anticipation, and her eyes were gleaming with a familiar persistence. Zhou Wanwan put down her pen and greeted with a smile: "Guoguo, why are you here? Come in and sit down."

Zhou Guo walked into the store, looked around, and his eyes fell on the gems scattered on the table.

There was a glimmer of curiosity in his eyes: "Sis, what new things are you designing? These gems are so beautiful."

Zhou Wanwan smiled and handed him the sketch in her hand: "I am designing a calendar with gemstones as the carrier.

Each gemstone represents a celestial stem and terrestrial branch, symbolizing the passage of time. What do you think? "

Zhou Guo took the sketch, looked at it carefully, and a hint of admiration flashed in his eyes:

"Sister, you are amazing! This design is very profound. It is not just a decoration, but also carries the meaning of time."

Zhou Wanwan nodded, feeling somewhat proud, but then asked, “By the way, what do you want to see me for?”

Zhou Guo scratched his head and said a little embarrassedly: "Sister, I have a request, I wonder if you can help me."

"Tell me, what's the matter?" Zhou Wanwan asked with a smile.

"I would like you to help me design a diary with fire as the theme.

Add some interesting gemstones as decoration." Zhou Guo said, handing her the blank diary.

"I want to use this diary to record some important moments, but I always feel that ordinary decorations are too monotonous."

Zhou Wanwan took the diary, flipped through a few pages, and began to think about it. She looked up at Zhou Guo and asked, "Fire as the theme? What do you want to express?"

Zhou Guo's eyes became serious: "Fire symbolizes passion, strength and hope.

I want to use this diary to record my process of pursuing my dreams. Each gem represents an important moment and reminds me to persevere. "

Zhou Wanwan nodded, already having some preliminary ideas in mind. She picked up a red garnet and said:

"This garnet symbolizes passion and energy, which fits the theme of fire perfectly. We can use it to represent the starting point of your pursuit of your dreams."

Zhou Guo's eyes flashed with excitement: "Great! Sister, you really understand me!"

Zhou Wanwan smiled and continued, “However, garnet alone is not enough.

Fire is more than just passion, it also symbolizes strength and hope. We can complement these meanings with other gemstones.”

She picked up an orange fire opal and handed it to Zhou Guo: "This fire opal symbolizes strength and courage. It is suitable to represent the challenges you encounter in the process of pursuing your dreams."

Zhou Guo took the fire opal and examined it carefully, with a hint of determination in his eyes:

"Sister, you are right. There will definitely be many difficulties on the road to pursuing my dreams, but I will not give up."

Zhou Wanwan nodded, feeling relieved. She picked up another yellow topaz.

Said: "This citrine symbolizes hope and light, and is suitable for representing the way out you find in difficult situations."

Zhou Guo took the yellow crystal, his eyes sparkling: "Sister, you are so amazing!

These gems are more than just decoration, they carry my dreams and hopes.”

Zhou Wanwan smiled, feeling a little excited: "Guoguo, what is your dream? Can you tell me?"

Zhou Guo was silent for a moment, then whispered: "Sister, I want to be a writer.

I want to use words to record the beauty and cruelty of this world, so that more people can see the real life. ”

Zhou Wanwan was stunned for a moment, then a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes: "Guoguo, you never told me this dream."

Zhou Guo smiled bitterly and said, "Sister, I have never dared to tell you. I am afraid that you will think I am unrealistic. After all, the road of writing is too difficult."

Zhou Wanwan shook her head and patted his shoulder gently: "Guoguo, there is no right or wrong in dreams, only persistence or not. As long as you really like it, I will definitely support you."

A trace of gratitude flashed in Zhou Guo's eyes: "Sister, thank you."

Zhou Wanwan smiled and continued, “Since you want to be a writer, this diary is even more meaningful.

We can use gems to record every stage of your writing, and each gem represents a story and an inspiration. "

Zhou Guo nodded, his eyes full of anticipation: "Sister, let's start designing now!"

Zhou Wanwan picked up a pen and began to sketch a flame pattern on the cover of the diary.

She placed garnets, fire opals and citrine in the center of the flame, symbolizing passion, strength and hope.

Each gem seems to be telling a story and carrying Zhou Guo’s dream.
