This afternoon in 2016, I was still doing boring work in the laboratory. Suddenly, several undergraduate students said they were graduating, and came to take a photo with me. what! Graduation season is here again, and I've become the campus mascot again, to be put in the camera and taken away.

When I opened Facebook on my phone, a friend on the face said that she was washing vegetables until she found worms, and she screamed and turned pale. It reminded me of my former colleague at National Taiwan University. She likes to get food in the lab very much, and sometimes she will take me to dine with the boss after cooking. Once we made a big pot of hot pot, and everyone ate it just right. Suddenly, we found a curled vegetable worm in the soup pot. It was probably the size of a little finger, and it should have been fully cooked.

At the moment, everyone stopped eating.

Then, in the next instant, the junior girl started to shed tears quietly but clearly, and followed one by one.

The boss was most reluctant to cry, so he immediately pretended to be heroic:

"Hahaha, vegetable worms! I'm used to eating as a soldier, which meal does not have vegetable worms! Hahaha, eat vegetables with worms and add some meat, nutritious protein, hahaha! Do you think so?"

wow! How to drag me into the water? I just drank two bowls of soup and was feeling disgusting, but the boss had already made a statement, so I had no choice but to follow up shamelessly:

"Ah, hahaha, yes, yes, nutritious, delicious, and elastic. I tell you, junior girl, military Chinese dishes are not washed (really? I was talking nonsense, and I wanted to vomit). "

The junior girl looked up at us and said sobbing:

"It's all my fault. I didn't catch the vegetable bug. The soup was so hot, he was scalded alive. It must be very painful..."

Our faces turned green, and we instantly became spokespersons for corn.

In every period of your life, there will always be a place where your memories are stored; in that place, there are a few people who will speak to you when you think of it. The way you remember it, that's the point.

"I remember...I remember...but most importantly, I remember every face of you. I'll never forget you. I have a thousand faces in my mind—student's. Faces. In the years to come, if you come back to see me (I hope you will), I will try to remember your familiar faces, but most likely I can't. Then, someday, you will see them somewhere Me, and I don't recognize you, that's when you say to yourself, 'That old guy doesn't remember me.' But I do remember you -- remember you as you are, and that's the point."
