At 9, I lay under the shade of a tree, basking in the dappled sunlight, cherishing the leisurely days of summer.

16 岁那年，坐在教室里，微风穿堂，盯着前排姑娘的马尾出了神，忽然觉得就这样下去也很不错。

At 18, I studied day and night, hoping to secure that one acceptance letter to a university.

By 22, I bid farewell to the campus, stepping into the so-called 'real world,' where a job became my new focal point.

At 24, I celebrated my wedding. As I looked at the guests and my bride, I couldn't help but feel a tinge of regret for the girl I knew at 16, yet, in that moment, my bride became the most important person in my life.

24岁那年，我迎来了我的婚礼。看着满堂宾客和我的新娘，她当然不是我16岁时的那个姑娘，心中只觉得有些遗憾，不过那一刻，我的新娘就成了我最重要的人。

At 26, I anxiously waited outside the delivery room, and when the cries of a newborn pierced the air, I knew that something even more important had arrived.

45岁那年，浑浑噩噩度过了半生，挺着啤酒肚在工位摸鱼的时候，回想起年少的梦想，从未觉得梦想如此重要。

By the age of 50, I witnessed my son and a fine young woman enter the sacred bond of marriage. It struck me that my son's happiness was more important than mine.

50岁那年，看着儿子和一个还不错的姑娘步入婚姻殿堂，我眯着眼，看着台上的儿子，觉得儿子的幸福比我的幸福重要。

At 60, I laid my parents to rest side by side. With advancing age, I have also learned to let go and accept, and I no longer minded my father's scoldings and my mother's nagging; in that moment, they were invaluable.

60岁那年，我将父母葬在了一起，年纪大了，很多事儿也便看开了许多，我没有流泪，只觉得爸爸的责骂和母亲絮叨，在那一刻是无比重要。

When I turned 70, my beloved wife passed away, and I watched my son prosper and my grandson pursue his college education. For some reason, I feel that my wife is much more important than those old ladies dancing in the square when I am wandering aimlessly on the streets.

70岁那年，妻子终究是先走一步，儿子儿媳事业有成，孙子在外地读大学，我只能无所事事的在大街上闲逛，莫名觉得妻子可比那广场舞的老太太重要的多。

In my 75th year, in the hospital, the doctor asked my son to stay behind as I realized that time was running out. I called my grandson to tell him to hold on to love, just as I had clung to the lollipop at the age of 3. Despite my hesitation to give advice, I made the call and simply said, 'Come visit when you can. Grandpa misses you. '

75岁那一年，在医院里，医生让我出去单独留下我儿子的时候，我明白，时间不多了，趁着这功夫，我给孙子打了个电话。我想告诉他，如果你在16 岁的时候爱上过一个姑娘，可千万要握紧，就像握紧3岁那手中的棒棒糖一样，思来想去，又觉得有些为老不尊，电话接通后，只说了一句，爷爷想你了，有空回来看看爷爷。

At 76, my grandson came to visit. As he saw my frail state, he may have felt a bit uneasy. My son and daughter-in-law stood by my side, tears in their eyes. I no longer had the strength to contemplate what was most important; I just hoped for a simple funeral. Then, an unexpected gust of wind blew into the room, temporarily blinding me. When I opened my eyes, I saw my parents, holding hands, their faces filled with familiar smiles. They looked young, and they opened their arms to embrace me. I wanted to hug them tightly without hesitation, I leaped from the bed and ran toward them. As I ran, I transformed into a 60-year-old, then a 50-year-old, a 40-year-old, a 30-year-old, until I was 3 years old. They could finally hold me, and I nodded, they smiled back, and together we turned and walked away. I looked back at my son, daughter-in-law, and grandson; they held the 60-year-old me, crying and feeling sad. But that was okay because I knew they would continue to live well.

76岁那一年，孙子回来看我了，让他看到我奄奄一息的样子，心里多少还是有点儿别扭，儿子儿媳守在床边，泣不成声。我没有多余的精力思考什么最重要了，我只想着后事从简。正想着，不知哪里吹来了一阵风，迷了我的眼，睁开眼，爸爸妈妈牵着手，脸上挂着我最熟悉的笑容，他们都是年轻的样子，张开双臂示意我抱抱，我好想他们啊，所以我毫不犹豫跳下床，向他们飞奔而去。奔跑中，我变成了 60 岁的样子，50岁的样子，40 岁的样子，30 岁的样子，直到变成了3岁的样子，他们终于能抱起我了，我向他们点点头，他们也笑着点头，带着我转身离开。我回望一眼儿子儿媳和孙子，他们抱着60 岁的我，嚎陶大哭，虽然不舍，不过没关系，我知道，他们依然可以过得很好。

So, what is the most important thing in a lifetime? Everything is important, and nothing is irreplaceable, because what you once considered most important will someday be lost. It turns out that regrets are a part of life."

所以，什么最重要，什么都重要，但又不是非有不可，因为你曾经认为最重要的，总有失去的那一天，原来，遗憾才是人生的常态。
