Amidst the hustle and bustle of the city, there was an inconspicuous tricycle with dim headlights that illuminated my way home. This tricycle belongs to Lao Li, an ordinary city porter who cannot be more ordinary. Every day, he rides his tricycle through the streets and alleys of the city, transporting goods for people.
Lao Li’s tricycle is not new, with traces of time all over its body, but the pair of headlights always shine brightly. Whenever night falls, Lao Li lights up the car lights, and the faint light appears particularly warm in the darkness. Although car lights may not be as bright as car headlights, they have a unique meaning.
Once, I worked overtime until very late, and the neon lights in the city had already gone out, leaving only scattered streetlights on the streets. I was walking alone on my way home, and I couldn’t help but feel a little scared. At that moment, I saw Lao Li’s tricycle, with its headlights flickering like two stars in the darkness. I quickened my pace and followed behind the tricycle, feeling at ease with the light from the headlights.
Lao Li’s car lights are not just meant to illuminate the road, they are more like a symbol of spirit. In this fast-paced city, people often overlook those unknown laborers. Lao Li and his tricycle, like those pair of headlights, although inconspicuous, are indispensable existences. They contribute to the operation of this city in their own way.
Although the light of the car headlights is weak, they can penetrate darkness and bring hope and courage to people. Lao Li’s tricycle headlights remind me of many “ordinary people” in life. They may not have prominent status or amazing achievements, but they add light to the world in their own way.
Whenever I feel lost or confused, I think of Lao Li’s tricycle headlights. It reminds me that even in the darkest moments, there is always light waiting for us. We may not be the brightest star, but we can still shine and heat up, illuminating our own and others’ paths.
In this challenging world, let us all become a lamp, big or small, capable of bringing a touch of warmth and hope to others.
