Today is June 2, 2022, Thursday, the fourth day of the fifth lunar month. Yesterday was International Children's Day, and tomorrow is the Dragon Boat Festival.
International Children's Day is celebrated on June 1 each year to commemorate the Lidice massacre on June 10, 1942, and all children who died in wars around the world. In November 1949, the International Democratic Women's Federation held a council meeting in Moscow, where representatives from China and other countries angrily exposed the crimes of imperialists and reactionaries in various countries who murdered and poisoned children. The meeting decided that June 1 would be designated as International Children's Day. It aims to ensure the right to survival, health care, and education for children worldwide, to improve children's lives, and to oppose the abuse and poisoning of children.
The Dragon Boat Festival, also known as Duan Yang Festival, Dragon Boat Festival, Double Fifth Festival, and Tian Zhong Festival, is a folk festival that combines worshiping gods and ancestors, praying for blessings and warding off evil, celebrating and entertaining, and dining. The Dragon Boat Festival originates from the worship of natural celestial phenomena and has evolved from ancient dragon sacrifices. In mid-summer, the Azure Dragon of the Seven Stars ascends to the central southern position, which is the most "central" position of the year. The Dragon Boat Festival is an auspicious day of "the dragon flying in the sky," and dragon and dragon boat culture has always been intertwined in the festival's historical heritage. The Dragon Boat Festival is a traditional cultural festival popular in China and countries within the Chinese character cultural sphere. According to legend, during the Warring States period, the poet Qu Yuan from the Chu state committed suicide by jumping into the Miluo River on the fifth day of the fifth lunar month, and later generations also commemorated Qu Yuan on this day; there are also theories that commemorate Wu Zixu, Cao E, and Jie Zitui. The origin of the Dragon Boat Festival encompasses ancient astronomical culture, humanistic philosophy, and other aspects, containing profound and rich cultural connotations.
Sandwiched between these two festivals is the quantum mechanics exam. I still remember the scene of the midterm test, as if it were just yesterday, but today is already the final test, and I can't help but sigh at how fast time flies. This is also a special edition marking a year of writing monthly summaries; the first time I wrote one was in May (or was it June?), and a year has passed just like that. My sophomore year is almost over, and it's not that I don't cherish the present, but time indeed flows relentlessly day and night.
Azure Lane is also celebrating its fifth anniversary, but my Vanguard is still in the pool. This time it seems to be a well, and I didn't expect 🐤 to treat me, an old player, like this. Is this good? This is not good; young people don't talk **... (x).
Oh right, right, right, let's get to the point and summarize May's events. May concluded with engineering drawing, mechanics of materials, and fundamentals of materials science. The grades for mechanics of materials have come out, and they are okay; I still don't know about the fundamentals of materials science, so I'll talk about that later. As for engineering drawing... talking too much about it brings tears, so I won't discuss it and will just wait for the higher-ups to decide. The fundamentals of materials crystallography and solid-state physics show signs of becoming increasingly difficult, and with the final exams approaching, these two subjects are indeed a bit tough to tackle, but we must face difficulties, Ori give! Additionally, the CuBiC project is also pressing forward, and I don't know if it can be completed smoothly in the end; I can only report back later.
So, June, summer in Wuhan, what kind of memories will this year leave behind? Let's look forward to it a bit. As for July and August, it's summer vacation life, which means air conditioning and watermelons 🍉, and I also need to complete the STAR tasks, as well as the GitHub Repo and Minecraft; it shouldn't be boring, right? じゃね～
