I never thought that my first medal in life would be won in this way. When the host announced that our group had won the second place, the previous group had finished eating the gold medal, received the silver medal, hung it around its neck and looked at it carefully with the hand holding the medal. Oh, it's a little heavy. The medals are made of fine workmanship, not bought casually, but specially made for this celebration. At first glance, they are very attentive.
Several people stood in a row and took some photos with different postures and medals. After coming down, they watched it affectionately for several times and kept saying, this is my first time to win a medal! I have lived most of my life and never had a chance to win a medal. I didn't expect to win the silver medal today. I was a little surprised. This medal has luck in it, but it is more about showing strength.
20 19 12.6 was a Saturday, and the weather was good after the snow in Chu Qing. Get up in the morning, fry the jiaozi cooked yesterday with a little oil, put it in a square glass plate, cover it, and put it in a bag with heat preservation material. Clean up, get dressed, and wait for Eamily to pick me up and attend our sixth anniversary celebration of Fire Phoenix. The event was held in the form of a common meal. Everyone brings a piece of food, and the performances and games are interspersed. You can eat and play. Think about it!
When we arrived at the meeting place, the volunteers in the reception group were already working. According to the prescribed procedure, we should sign and register and draw a table number. At first glance, the first group, because they are all randomly selected, we don't know who to sit with. Forget it. Let's volunteer in our food group first. Angela is wearing a new apron with a Christmas pattern. She puts one next to me. I didn't want to wear it when I saw it as a decoration, so I put it on the table as a decoration. Angela is decorating the dining table with trinkets brought from home. There are several small pine towers under the green pine tree, wearing a red Santa Claus puppet, with golden chocolate balls and red and green decorations on the table, and the thick Christmas atmosphere will be there.
After 10, everyone arrived one after another. Long time no see, give each other a hug and say hello. I put the food brought by everyone here according to the types, watching the dazzling array of delicious food carefully prepared by everyone, and then looking at the smiling faces dressed up beautifully, my heart is warm.
When the host announced the start of the party and invited the volunteers to sit down, I met the people at our table. They are all elite soldiers and strong men. There are two people at our table who signed up for the individual talent show, as well as players with good skills and strong strength. Angela, a volunteer in our food group, was also assigned to this group. Coincidentally, everyone was attracted together. This is definitely luck. The little brother, the general planner of this activity, designed a scoring system for the party, which is both interesting and participatory, which can not only highlight individual talents but also play a team spirit. Until the last moment, I don't know where the flowers will fall and who will win the medal.
At the beginning of the celebration, members of the Fire Phoenix Art Troupe performed programs, including chorus and Qin Liu ensemble. All of them are dignified and elegant, fresh and refined, sweet and lovely, and they are very proud of their wonderful performances. Seeing this glorious side of sisters, who would have thought that they had suffered from illness and were forced to remove one or two female symbols, leaving striking scars on their chests? Suffering from all kinds of pain and discomfort caused by chemotherapy and radiotherapy, my face was swollen, my hair fell out, I had to shave my head, and I looked listless and gaunt with a wig and hat. In just a few years, sisters, like the phoenix reborn from the fire, ushered in a brand-new self, full of energy, brave and unyielding, determined and independent, and smiled brilliantly at life.
Our group's talent show began with Betty's solo dance. When I saw Betty, I noticed her red dress. Betty said that this year is her fifth birth year, an important year in her life and the sixth year of her freshman year, just like the fire phoenix. She will attend the celebration with great success. She wore red trousers black boots and danced gracefully. I was amazed! I didn't expect Betty to have such a gift. In the previous activities, I only saw Betty taking photos for everyone, collecting a lot of materials and editing them into videos to record the wonderful moments of the fire phoenix. Now look at her on the stage, with her Qin Liu ensemble, her solo and her, surrounded by Betty. Betty, you are such a precious woman. What else can't I do?
Claire wore white clothes and trousers, which was quite a bit like sage like type, and performed Artest Fan Chi. I still remember last year's party, when she was dressed as a Dai girl and played suona solo "Pteris on a Moonlit Night". I don't know when she learned Thai Fan Chi again, but she also formed her own band and volunteered to perform in nursing homes and other places to bring joy to everyone. In addition to individual talent show, team project is also an important scoring project. Claire played the suona, and our group danced with her behind. I also clumsily stretched my right leg and left leg for a while, for our collective honor.
We have taken the lead in the talent show, but there are still a few games with uncertain scores. The competition needs teamwork. Skills games, such as playing table tennis with chopsticks and playing rubber bands with straws, are well coordinated. Although not the first, they are all in the top three. I took the time to look at our achievements, and it is possible to win the gold medal. Tug of war is the last project left. I looked at the people in our group. They are not fragile sister Lin. There is still strength. We are fighting for collective honor!
At the beginning of tug-of-war, one second I thought victory was in sight, and the next I was severely attacked by the other side. Before I knew it, I was dragged to the ground, and several people in front fell to the ground. Betty, who stood in the first place, said it was a tactical mistake. I thought squatting might be powerful, but I didn't expect the center of gravity to be too low. Rope? One-sided but brought people down, sorry for everyone's fall. Everyone says we tried our best, and it doesn't matter whether we win or not. It's about participation. The floor is smooth, the shoes are smooth, and there is no focus. Indoor tug-of-war may not be a good choice, but the cheerful atmosphere of tug-of-war and the lively scenes that everyone is eager to try are really exciting. Everyone strongly suggests organizing an outdoor tug-of-war next time.
The fiasco of tug-of-war made us miss the gold medal. I always thought I didn't care about winning the prize. Now it seems that I still care, especially the sense of collective honor. Our group won the silver medal, and Betty and Claire contributed a lot. They are our best scorers. Fortunately, they were assigned to our group when drawing lots. In other projects, everyone is not to be outdone, and strives for the upper reaches tacitly. Strength and luck pushed us to the second place and won the silver medal. Looking at everyone's smiling faces, Jenny, the founder of Fire Phoenix, is the most grateful person in her heart. She organized everyone to hold a group to keep warm, jump out of personal circles and actively participate in various public welfare activities, so that the sisters had a wonderful time.
Medal is a summary and recognition of the past, and it is also the goal and direction of future life. I know that there are our bitterness and tears behind this medal, as well as our efforts and persistence, efforts and struggles. Medals are an affirmation of our achievements, as well as an encouragement and spur to us. Thanks to all the volunteers who have paid for Fire Phoenix in recent years, including me. We will strive for more medals for the collective honor and the Fire Phoenix Group.
