又结束了一天的学习，合上笔记本后我看向窗外。月夜格外静谧，星光璀璨耀眼，夜景依旧如此引人入胜，一如疫情发生之前般美丽。圆月当空，有人说外国的月亮比较圆，但此时的月亮，真的更圆吗？
时间的齿轮回转起来……似乎又是2020年2月末，寒假结束，我这时应该已经搭上了回中国的班机。又可以见到那群活泼好动的好朋友，又可以回到校园开始新的学习旅程，又可以在异国开始新的冒险之旅。这时的北京应是雪白一片，但却不如寒假前的冬天那般寒冷。我拖着行李，踏着白雪，一步一步地走向敞开的校园大门，周围还有和我一起回校的学生，大家脸上都写满了对学习生活的热忱和对未来的憧憬。
随着冬去春来，万物复苏，时间河流冲刷过的北京，渐渐又有了春的色彩，生活也变得更加忙碌起来。但春天的美好，仍旧不容错过，于是我与朋友们忙里偷闲地逛起了校园。我们沐浴在温柔的阳光下，在红桥周围缓步漫行，欣赏春日风光。高贵优雅的黑天鹅正坐在草地上梳理自己美丽的羽毛，姿态间优雅又充满了神气；勤劳的小蜜蜂纷飞于花丛中，忙碌地采集花蜜，认真专注地完成自己的工作。美景如画，我看得入神，脑里浮现出诗句：“纷飞花蕊间，不得半日闲。脉脉花香终成蜜，一分辛劳一分甜。”接着，我们继续走到湖边，湖面如镜，倒映出湖边的美景——几只白鹅在岸上和我们一起观赏着，这时，一群鸭子悠哉游哉地游了过来，划破了平静的湖面，于是白鹅便也下水凑起热闹来。此情此景，往常忙碌的我们在它们的感染下，心情变得格外放松。

春天忽而离去，蝉鸣响起，阳光愈加灼热。潮湿闷热的教室里，学生们昏昏欲睡，但随着学期末的到来，缠着学生的瞌睡虫也被赶跑了，大家都挺直腰板、瞪大眼睛、竖起耳朵，生怕错过教授说的任何一个重点。经历了长达两个星期的考试，终于迎来了心心念念的暑假。夏天，阳光与海滩必不可少，于是我们一行人出发到海南三亚，开始我们的夏天之旅。六月是三亚旅游的淡季，旅客相对较少，因此可以远离喧嚣，好好地放松身心。海水清澈，椰林树影，我们惬意地在沙滩漫步。海底珊瑚丰富多彩，水上项目精彩刺激，当地美食清新可口。这趟三亚之旅可谓不虚此行。
转眼暑假结束，秋天悄然而至。我最喜欢秋天，天朗气清，遍地橙红色的落叶，每次在户外都可以感受微风轻柔地拂过脸颊。“嘎吱嘎吱”，这是我最喜欢的踩落叶的声音，清脆悦耳。老师说，秋天一定要到香山公园观赏红叶。于是，趁着周末，我们又开始了另一次游玩之旅。来到香山，红叶如花海般热烈，绽放枝头。不过，红叶固然美丽，古色古香的建筑也吸引了我的目光，它们默默地矗立在那里，见证着历史长河留下的沧桑。我也拾起一片漂亮的落叶，将它做成书签，见证我读过的书籍，记录我看过的美景。

北京的秋天是短暂的，天气很快变得又冷又干燥，太阳起床的时间也越来越晚。冬天的风来势汹汹，把坚硬的树干吹得稍稍弯腰，还把宿舍前的单车都推倒了。终于，白雪如约而至，我和同伴们见到降雪兴奋不已，跑到室外的空地和其他人一起堆雪人、打雪仗，神奇的白雪消除了我们之间的隔阂。下雪后，我们又来到万里长城参观，被白雪点缀的万里长城少了几分严肃，多了几分浪漫。寒冷的冬天，热腾腾的火锅也是必不可少的，爬完长城的我们到火锅店享用晚餐。寒冷的天气和麻辣的汤底已是绝配，再蘸上甜甜咸咸的麻酱，简直就是味蕾的盛宴！我们兴奋地分享今天的所见所闻，悄悄地夹走朋友放进汤里的肉，又热情地夹菜给朋友吃，好不快乐。

我缓缓睁开眼睛，热闹不见，四周依旧平静，桌案上的笔记本还余下一丝温度。我伸了伸懒腰，走向窗边，还是那片朦胧的月色，繁星也依旧在闪烁。如果没有疫情，2020年只是另一个年代的开端，是再普通不过的一年，平凡而美好。共享美食、寒暄握手、聊天打闹、旅游闲逛，疫情让所有平凡的事物变得更加珍贵。再多的美好都静待发生，只是无奈如今的我只知道，明天出门采购要戴好口罩，避免与人接触，保持人身距离。
My Fantasy of Four Seasons
［Malaysia］ Tan Zi Hua， Beijing Institute of Technology
After another day of study， I closed my notebook and looked out of the window． The moonlit night is particularly quiet and peaceful with bright and shinning stars． The night is as alluring and beautiful as before the outbreak of the epidemic． A full moon hung high in the sky． Someone says that the moon in foreign countries is relatively rounder， but is the moon above me rounder？
The gear of time flies back．．． It was late February 2020， which marked the end of the winter vacation． I should have caught a flight to return to China． I should have met those lively and active friends again， returned to the campus to start a new journey of study and kicked off a new adventure in a foreign country． At this time， Beijing should be snow－white， but not as cold as the winter before vacation． I dragged my luggage and treaded on the snow step by step towards the college gate． Around me were also students returning to school． Everyone’s faces were full of passion for study and vision for the future．
As winter leaves and there comes the spring， everything on earth comes back to life． Beijing， washed away by the river of time， gradually displays the colour of spring． People’s life was on a fast track again． But the beauty of spring should not be missed． My friends and I wandered around the campus． We bathed in the gentle sunshine， walked slowly and leisurely around the red bridge and enjoyed the spring． The elegant black swans sat on the grass combing their beautiful feathers， stylish and full of air； Industrious little bees were flying in the flowers， busy with collecting honey and doing their work attentively． The beautiful scenery was picturesque． I was absorbed in it and a poem came upon my mind “Flying among the flowers， they can’t rest for an hour． The fragrance will eventually become honey． Every little bit of sweetness comes from every little bit of labour．” Then， we continued to walk to the lake． Like a mirror， the lake reflected the beautiful scenery by the water． Several white geese watched us on the shore． At the moment， a group of ducks swam leisurely and broke the tranquil lake． The white geese couldn’t help joining them． Escaping from the busy schedule， we were appealed by the campus view and felt at ease．
Spring does not last long． Cicadas were chirping as the sunlight became scorching hot． The students were sleepy in the muggy classroom． However， with the approaching of the end of the semester， the drowsiness of the students was driven away． Everyone straightened up with wide open eyes and ears for fear of missing any key point said by the professor． Going through two weeks of exams， we finally ushered in the summer vacation． Sunshine and beaches are essential in summer and so we set out for Sanya， Hainan Province to start our summer trip． June is the off－season for tourism in Sanya， which sees relatively less tourists． Therefore， we could stay away from the noise and have a real relaxation． The sea was clear and shadows of the coconut trees were swinging in the wind． We strolled pleasantly along the beach； The sea corals were rich and colourful． The overwater activities were exciting and stimulating． The local food was fresh and delicious． What a rewarding trip！
In the twinkling of an eye， the summer vacation was over and autumn came quietly． I like autumn most． The sky was crystal clear and cloudless and the land was decorated with orange red leaves everywhere． Being outdoor every time， I could feel the breeze gently brushing my cheeks． “Crunching， crunching” is my favourite sound of stepping on fallen leaves， crisp and pleasant． Our teacher said that we must go to the Fragrant Hills to enjoy the red leaves in autumn． Therefore， we started another trip． The red leaves of Fragrant Hills Park were blooming like a sea of flowers． Although the red leaves were beautiful， the ancient buildings also drew my attention． They stood there silently and witnessed the vicissitudes left by the long river of history． I picked up a beautiful leaf and made it into a bookmark to record the books I had read and the beautiful scenery I had seen．
Autumn in Beijing is short． The weather soon became cold and dry and the sun got up later and later． The wind in winter was so fierce that it made the hard trunk bend slightly and pushed down the bicycles in front of the dormitory． Finally， the snow arrived as promised． My companions and I were very excited at the snow falling． We ran to the open ground to make snowmen and have snowball fights with others． The magical snow narrowed the distance between us． After the snow stopped， we came to the Great Wall again． Dotted with snow， it was a little less serious and a little more romantic． Hot pot was also a must in cold winter． After climbing the Great Wall， we went to a hot pot restaurant for dinner． Cold weather and spicy soup were a perfect match． Dipping the food in the sweet and salty sesame sauce， we did feel it was a feast for our taste buds！ We excitedly shared what we saw and heard on the day and stealthily took away the meat our friends put into the soup． Meanwhile we also served food to friends． How happy we were！
I slowly opened my eyes and bustling scenes were gone． Everything was still calm around me． There was still a little bit of warmth remained in the notebook on the desk． I stretched myself and walked to the window． The moonlight was still hazy and the stars were shinning． If there had been no epidemic， 2020 would have been just the beginning of another year． It would have been an ordinary year， nothing special but something splendid． The ordinary things， such as enjoying delicious food together， exchanging greetings and shaking hands， chatting and playing， traveling and wandering， became more precious due to the epidemic situation． I am patient to wait for more good things to take place soon after the epidemic ends． Now I have no choice but understand that I should wear a mask when I go out shopping tomorrow， avoid contact with people and keep distance from others．
