Today is December 25th, here I want to give my best wishes to all of my friends. Merry Christmas. It's also the end of the year which is a good time to review all the things that happened in 2023. After the three years’ pandemic, people all around the world definitely started 2023 with excitement and hope. But as for me, when I look back at this year, I think it's the hardest year I have experienced. Just like now, I have been sick for over a month due to many kinds of germs and viruses. An earthquake occurred last week many kilometers away from my city. When it happened, I was woken up by the tremors caused by the earthquake which lasted for about 20 seconds. At first, I really wanted to get up and run, but eventually I didn’t do anything. I didn't know where I could go. I accepted all the arrangements of fate at that moment. Fortunately, I was OK. But there were over 100 people who lost their life during the earthquake. Many people also lost their houses. The best thing was that in the next 12 hours, thousands of volunteers went to the city and villages located at the epicenter. They carried enough food and water for the people there and rescued survivors. Though I can't go to help people, I gave them some money. There are just 5 days left before the end of this year, I hope everything will go well next year. I have learned many lessons from 2023. Thank you, 2023!
