      时光荏苒，日月流转，转眼间三年匆匆而过。时间如同一位急躁的说书人，从不停歇，而我们经历的一切也已成为了历史。三年的疫情，抗疫、封城、停课，仿佛是一场大梦。然而，尽管时光流逝，但有些人的身影早已深深刻进了历史长河，也铭刻在你我的心中。因为他们早已成为疫情肆虐，万物萧杀，冬日余晖里挥之不去的那抹最美的风景。

       2022年的夏天，我每天在家上网课，和父母互相鼓励，努力维持着那本就不多的一线希望。直到，那一天，你的出现。你日复一日地在小区中消毒，为老奶奶买菜、做饭，拿着扩音器一次又一次地鼓励我们。我不知道你的年龄、模样，也不了解你的来历。只知道你是一位年轻的姐姐，在那个灰暗的时刻，你就是那抹最美的风景，把我从深渊中拉了出来，让我闻到了春的气息。

       那是一个夏夜，天上突然下起了大雨。雨声淅淅沥沥地拍打着窗户，整个世界显得压抑而又恐怖。我在房间里来回踱步，心里像压了一块巨石，喘不过气。越是这样的寂静，越让人怀念往日的烟火气息，曾经的万家灯火和热闹的人间。

       走到窗边，我忽然看见你穿着防护服站在门口，顶着狂风暴雨依然坚定地守护着小区。风在你身上肆意拍打，可你却纹丝不动。冰冷的雨幕中，你的目光如一道炙热的光束，传递着无比坚定的信念。黑暗中，除了你，还有千千万万和你一样的无名英雄——医生、护士、快递员、环卫工人……他们默默无闻，组成了那抹最美的风景，装饰着，坚定地守护着我们的家园。

        那一刻，我感觉心中的巨石被移走了，风也小了，雨滴仿佛变成了翩翩飞舞的蝴蝶，点缀出最美的风景线。是啊，她不是一个人，有无数像她一样的平凡英雄在默默坚守。他们都相信：我们终将迎来胜利的曙光！

       你看，天总会放晴，雨终会停止。我们所坚守的，最终得以实现。

        历史的书页或许太薄，记不下他们炙热的一生。但像她们这样默默无闻的普通人，在中国有多少？雨夜中的那抹最美的风景，早已深深刻在我心里。她们的名字无人知晓，但她们却在不经意间成为了明灯，照亮了我们这一代人的赤子之心。愿我们以青春的热烈，拥抱着那抹最美的风景，筑就中华新时代的未来！

A Scene That Will Never Fade Away

(This article aims to eulogize the nameless and faceless people in COVID-19.)

As the days and months swirl by, three years have slipped away in the blink of an eye. Time is like an impatient storyteller who never pauses. Everything we’ve experienced has now become part of history. The three years of fighting the COVID-19, blockading the cities and closing the schools feel like an unbelievable dream. However, despite the passing of time, some people have already been deeply etched into the river of history, and into our hearts. They have long become the most beautiful scenery, lingering in the twilight of winter, amid the raging pandemic and the desolation of life.

In the summer of 2022, I attended online classes at home every day, encouraging each other with my parents as we clung to the faint hope that remained. One day，you appeared. You disinfected the neighborhood, bought groceries and cooked for the elderly lady, using a loudspeaker to repeatedly encourage us day after day. I don’t know your age or appearance, nor do I know where you came from. All I know is that you were a young girl, and in that dark moment, you were the most beautiful scenery. You pulled me out of the abyss and allowed me to smell the scent of spring.

It was a summer night, and suddenly, a heavy rain began to pour. The sound of the rain pattered against the window, making the world feel oppressive and terrifying. I paced back and forth in my room, feeling as though a huge stone was pressing on my chest, leaving me gasping for air. The more silent it became, the more I longed for the warmth and life of days gone by—the bustling streets, the myriad lights of homes, and the vibrancy of humanity.

I walked to the window and saw you, you stood at the entrance of the building in your protective suit, braving the storm as you resolutely guarded the neighborhood. The wind lashed against you, but you didn’t give in. In the cold dreary rain, your gaze shone like a burning beam of light, conveying a deep and unshakable belief. In the darkness, there were countless unsung heroes but you—doctors, nurses, delivery workers, sanitation workers and so on. They worked carefully and silently, forming that most beautiful scenery, steadfastly guarding our home.

At that moment, I felt the stone in my heart lift, and the wind seemed to get smaller. The raindrops turned into fluttering butterflies, adorning the most beautiful scene. In fact, she wasn’t alone—there were countless ordinary heroes like her, standing firm in silence. They all believed that we would eventually see the dawn of victory!

You see, the sky finally clears, and the rain eventually stops. What we hold on to will ultimately be realized.

The pages of history may be too thin to record their fervent lives. But how many ordinary, nameless and faceless people like her exist in China? That beautiful scene in the rainy night has already been deeply engraved in my heart. Their names are unknown, yet they inadvertently became beacons, illuminating the pure hearts of our young generation. May we embrace that most beautiful scenery with the passion of our youth and build the future of China’s new era together!
