“生而为人，愿你我心存爱而活。”
一个冬天又到另一个冬天，2020转眼只剩最后一个星期。
疫情仍未终止。
国外，英国继30万人从伦敦疯狂大逃离后，又传来发现另一种变异病毒的消息。
这一回，它更易传播，突变程度更大。
国内，刚刚看到热搜，又有人来给我们添乱。
加拿大一家9口飞抵上海，先后全部确诊新冠。
更可怕的事情还会来吗？
国外我们无法预知，但国内，总有那些难忘的画面让我们相信，不会了。
黑龙江绥芬河，疫情二次反扑。
零下20度的凛冬，泼水即成冰，两个内着单薄，外穿防护服的医护人员，正站在小区楼下的冷风中瑟瑟发抖。
人们喊着叫她们进屋暖和暖和，两人却说什么都不肯进来。
原来，她们刚给小区的密接人员做完核酸采样。
虽然已经消过毒，她们还是怕给别人带来危险，便坚持站在外面等来接送的救护车。
“冷点没什么，你们的安全最重要。”
“我们来就是干活的，再冷我们也得坚持。”
没有一句矫情的话，没有一丝抱怨的心。
无论夏天最热的时候，还是冬天最冷的时刻，都有人在默默守护着我们，守护着一座城市，守护着我们共同的家。
时隔5月，大连疫情再次爬坡，昨天一夜又新增6例本土确诊。
学校停课，市民非必要不离开大连。
同时，全面核酸检测正迅速开展，不漏一户，不落一人。
医护人员、志愿者、社区工作者们，通宵达旦，又一次奔赴战场。
一名抗疫人员，为方便工作干脆露天办公。她往那一坐，就是从白天忙到了深夜。
另一种感动也在同时发生着。
大连格林小镇，一只纸飞机不知从哪个窗口飞出，正好落在了防疫执勤人员的身边。
上面歪歪扭扭写着：“祝福你们！加油！奥利给！”
稚嫩的笔迹，暖心的文字，让寒冬的这份坚守突然有了温度。
如成都机电工程学校，操场上排队检测的同学们用手机的灯光，瞬间为医护人员点亮的那个黑夜。
如环卫工大叔用掉落的银杏叶，一点一点摆出的那几个大字：中国人民抗疫情，努力奋斗加油！
当国外变异病毒不断出现，当国内疫情一次次反扑，我们终于不用恐慌畏惧，因为每次事实都在验证，我们可以最快控制它。
只要我们团结在一起，病毒就无法把我们给打倒。
就像这个冬日，即使凛冽哪怕刺骨，一丝暖阳尚存，我们便有满腔赤诚，一边抵御寒风一边继续往前。

12月14号，湖南长沙。
农民工大叔在外面徘徊许久，终于走进了一家服装店。
原来他是想给孙女挑件新衣服。
大叔不太会用手机，店主主动教他打开了视频通话。
那头传来孙女亲切兴奋的“爷爷，爷爷”。
这头爷爷笑眯眯回应：“喜欢吗？喜欢那爷爷过年给你带回去。”
怕把店里衣服弄脏，大叔全程没舍得触碰，都离得很远。
被一屋子新衣服包围，他看不到自己身上的早已破旧不堪，他满眼都是自己牵挂了一年的宝贝。
我们似乎习惯了世界的功利。
付出一点爱就盼着回报，给出一点总要考量100次。
这个世界还有无私的爱吗？
有的。
你在外面时，他每天都盼着你早点回家。
他在外面时，时刻都想着把最好的给你带回去。
他一辈子都在努力证明着那句话：
“爷爷还活着的时候，这个世界的风雨，都绕过我，向他一个人倾斜。”
02
小时候没被郑渊洁爷爷给“俘获”，没想到，最近被这个“童话大王”给圈了粉。
大家都夸他的评论区太有趣，他的每一句回复，却无法只用有趣两个字去概括。
有人求教，自己暗恋的女生正喜欢别人，该怎么办？
他用心作答：“命运掌握在自己手中，但有一条底线：只强求自己，别强求别人。”
有人追忆，我妈妈初中时就给您写过信，还收到了回信。
他温柔回应：“告诉你妈妈，她小时候给我写的信，现在住在我的房子里，风雨无虞。”
有人求祝福，脱单了才能让孩子看他的皮皮鲁。
四个字就能解决的问题，他认真回了一大段：“与其同床异梦生不如死，不如独孤求败傲视群芳。”
年少时，他用童心书写成年人的世界。
长大后，他依然在用心关照着我们的童年。
没有敷衍，只有认真。
没有阴阳怪气，只有温柔以待。
原来看透人间冷暖，也真的有人一直可爱，阅遍世间百态，也永远有人把童话藏心底。
愿你我也可以。

昨晚没有风，楼下的银杏叶子被保安大叔收起来，在草坪上摆了一个笑脸。
这个如寻常一般的早晨，住在这里的所有人，睁开眼终于不再是单调重复的24小时。
今天，他们都将收获这份从天而降的治愈。
微博@苍南派
《肖申克的救赎》里说，人生可以归结为一种简单的选择：不是忙着活，就是忙着死。
在这里，我们终于有了理由去反驳。
在忙于生死、存活的时候，我们还可以抽空去发现生活里的小确幸。
你不知道，那些热爱生活的人，他们有多可爱。
即便一阵风就能把笑脸给吹散，这个治愈的瞬间，它已经驱走了足够的阴霾。

74岁的程奶奶，和老伴因足球相识相爱。
第一次约会在足球场，然后就一起看了大半辈子的足球。
去年秋天，老伴却先一步离开了这个世界，离开了程奶奶。
他还在时，她总想和他争个高下对错；
他走后，那些不讲理的话，如今再无人可诉。
孤独成殇，思念成疾。
她给他写了一封信，希望他在天堂能收到。
“亲爱的老伴儿，你走了一年，我仿佛明白。生命中曾经有过许多灿烂，但终究都需要用此刻的寂寞来偿还。”
以前羡慕轰轰烈烈，现在只求细水长流。
因为越来越明白，爱情有千百般模样，却没有一种抵过：相濡以沫，一牵手，就是一辈子。
我们吵过闹过，却从未相看两厌过。
以至于，一个走后，一个仍在深切怀恋：“我们相爱一生，一生还是太短。”
你等我，如果可以，下辈子我们一定还要再相遇。

山西晋城，一个老人手里拿着一摞现金不小心掉在了地上。
那天风很大，一下子钱就被吹散了满地。
老人猝不及防，只能着急着跪在地上去捡。
就在这时，一个穿着校服的小女孩飞奔了过来，还有一个路过的大哥，他们一起帮老人把钱捡了回来。
一张都没有少。
看到小女孩跑过来的时候，眼泪瞬间就出来了。
如果没有他们赶来，不知道老人要有多难受，多绝望。
还好，有那些大雨中为你撑伞的人，帮你挡住外来之物的人，黑暗中默默抱紧你的人，还有那些在你狼狈、无措、危难之时，及时伸出手的人，他们都是满天星，聚集成这个寒冬最珍贵的暖流。

还记得辽宁那个冒死把起火的货车，驶离闹市的司机吗？
数月前，大挂车在焊接维修时突然起火。
见火一时灭不了，而周边就是民居加油站，司机师傅没有犹豫开着“火车”就往没人的地方跑。
“驾驶室里相当热，后面大火炉似的。”
他下车后没几分钟，油箱就爆炸了。
卖房贷款买的车瞬间被大火湮没，但那时他想的是不能连累别人，那一刻他是把自己的命豁了出去。
大家都夸司机师傅勇敢有担当，很多人不知道，这个故事还有更让人感动的后续。
一汽解放免费赠送了孙师傅一辆新的牵引车。
开着新车第一次上路挣了4000块钱，连带一个好心人捐给他的2000多块，他全部捐给了一家敬老院，而这家敬老院，还藏着一个温暖的故事：
敬老院里收留着30多个孤寡老人，那里的全阿姨和丈夫，几乎是在免费照顾着他们。
总感慨人心冷漠，这次却见证了世间美好环环相扣。
当《无问西东》里说，这个世界缺的不是完美的人，而是从心底里给出的真心、正义、无畏与同情。
但你看，这样的人其实也不少。
永远不要吝啬你的善意，因为那些你赠予别人的，迟早都还会回到你的身上。

便利店的门口，经常有一只流浪的小狗狗来光顾。
狗狗很乖，每次都是静静坐在那，不吵也不闹。
好心的老板给狗狗拿了食物和水。
没想到，第二天狗狗就给了老板一个惊喜。
它把自己一起流浪的小伙伴也带来了。
“呐~给你看，这是我最好的朋友哦！”
世界很复杂，越来越多次在人和动物的身上看到简单和纯粹。
无需语言，好像就有神奇的魔力，一个画面，就能治愈很久又没被触动的心。
天越来越冷了，如果你偶遇漂泊的它们，希望少一些嫌弃。
无家可归的孩子，它们很想要被人爱。

武汉一家医院，外卖小哥顺利把饭送达，准备离开时，却被护士给喊住了。
护士小姐姐反复看了几下外卖小哥的手，让他在这等一会儿，自己转身去了后面。
就在小哥的不安等待中，小姐姐拿着药出来了。
原来是刚才接餐时，她看到了外卖小哥手上的冻伤，认真处理完伤口，护士小姐姐还把自己的手套送给了外卖小哥。
越长大越发现，每个人都在和人生苦战。
抱怨过命运不公，埋怨过生活太苦，最后，我们还是一转头看到了彩虹。
你不知道，你一个小小的善举，可能在某天就改变了一个人的人生轨迹。
你不知道，那些来自陌生之人的善意，它再小，也能够温暖了一座城。

马路上的一个监控镜头拍下了这样惊险的一幕。
小女孩没有看到后面过来的车，朝路的另一边跑去。
眼看就要被车撞上，旁边等待的男子迅速冲上前，一把就把小女孩抱了起来。
几秒的时间，挽救的是好几个家庭。
没有英雄从天而降，只有凡人挺身而出。
那些意外来临的时刻，后退是本能，有人却选择了往前冲。
那些危难紧急的时刻，自保是本能，但有些人的善良是刻在骨子里。
生而为人，愿你我心存爱而活，然后皆遇是后者。

凌晨四点，消防员们终于处理完了外面的任务。
来到一家小餐馆吃面时，他们冻得发抖，脸边的霜还没化完，手里的筷子已经拿不稳了。
不知是谁的丈夫，谁的父亲，谁的孩子。
这个时候，他们只是一直用平凡之躯为我们庇护的战士。
夏暑冬寒，义无反顾，解我们忧虑。
洪水大火，一往无前，免我们危难。
没有超人的世界，有你们在，真好。
又是一年，你们辛苦了。

有人说，在世间，本就是各人下雪，各人有各人的隐晦与皎洁。
但我更喜欢一句话，在世上，追逐温暖的人都是成群结队的。
这个地球上有70亿人，总有一个人，会为你爬上月亮。
6年婚姻，有人3个字就终结了感情。
但也有人相爱一生，仍觉不够。
有人面目可憎一次次颠覆着人性的底线，但也有人恰逢其时，让我们相信人间的可爱和值得。
有人孤独地一个人在偌大的城市过冬，但也有人偷偷装饰着这个冬天的温柔。
前者让我们看清世界，后者让我们继续热爱生活。
就算是魔幻的2020，这一年的相聚很多次被疫情阻隔，这一年的毕业季没有同窗的大合照，这一年的回忆掺杂了太多离别和失去，我们沮丧过、崩溃过，努力过、感动过，但也从未放弃过。
那些微小却不渺小的人物，那些普通却不平凡的故事，那些真实却又不动声色照亮世界的瞬间，原来，都可以组成这个冬天最温柔最美好的部分。
“来日大难，口燥唇干。今日相乐，皆当喜欢。”
2020，终于正式进入倒计时了。
最后点个“赞＋在看”吧，2021，我们提前预定：都要全糖不加冰。
