All encounters in the world are reunions after a long absence
Hey brother, long time no see , I miss you so much
I want to come to every family member who has received the “Hero Order” of the Old Friends Association
Almost always in the same state as if you were about to meet your first love
The excitement and anticipation that lasted many sleepless nights…
Or run thousands of miles, or fly thousands of miles, nothing else
Just to be able to hug and drink with brothers at the old friends meeting
In the name of an old friend, for a brother
In March, Brother Mai Cao invited me to talk about writing something
Kind of flattered, for some reason
Actually, it’s been a long time since I wrote anything in this circle.
I have always felt that my experience is too shallow, and I have never experienced many things
So even though I have repeatedly used words to convey my heartfelt voice to this circle
Recorded a lot about travel/cross-country/modification/events/public welfare, etc.
Stories of passionate freedom and dream belonging
But I never dared to say that people who know the e family
But maybe some coincidence in the dark
For example, longing for the martial arts world of Jin Yong Gulong
For example, dreaming of fresh clothes, angry horses and swords, the end of the world
For example, those passionate and adventurous “jianghu spirit” who pursue the ancient west wind road
For example, I really spent a long time in the forum and carefully read the posts.
The wonderful stories of the predecessors of the e family in the past
So, maybe I really know a little bit about the world of FB
I arrived in Shijiazhuang at 11:00 on the night of the 9th
A little earlier than most
Why not come the next day during the day?
Because, I want to feel the moment when everyone arrives
I want to feel every moment of this gathering of old friends
Greeting and seeing off are complex emotional experiences
In fact, apart from the volunteer team who arrived in advance
And some because they can’t wait to see the brothers
Has also quietly arrived ahead of schedule
So, those old friends who booked tickets for No. 10 were in a hurry in the group
“The notice tells you to report on the 10th, why are you all ahead of time?”
[On the day of registration, the crazy brother will tell me as soon as he sees me in the afternoon.
“Seeing that everyone has arrived in the morning, I’m in a hurry…”]
Parking lot at Late Night Hotel 9
First, I ran into Xianyi Numa, a senior from the Film Association
It is a “netizen” that has never been seen before, but there is no strangeness
Afterwards, in the straw room that served as the organizing committee’s office
With Xianxian, Damei, off-road insects,
The “cold face and warmhearted” mouse is reunited
With the guide, the colonel who is very familiar with the ID
It’s the first time I’ve seen a COM that asks what to eat for supper after sitting down
That scene, I obviously experienced it for the first time
But it feels so familiar and kind
It’s like returning to a hometown in a dream
I think maybe I’m going through the mood that everybody’s been through
I can’t accurately describe and express
But I really felt a vibe from that moment
It’s probably what the seniors said about returning to the feeling of getting together in the past
On the night of the 9th, some reunited brothers
Directly opened the mode of talking all night without getting drunk
[There are also some brothers who had a drink first when Liu Ling was drunk]
The brothers in the working group are still picking up materials late at night
Packing those sponsorships that are still coming in… [Thanks]
And for the 8 × 8 super off-road touring car to appear on the scene as scheduled
Chongchong and COM did not finish coordinating at high speed until four o’clock in the morning
I saw Brother Chongchong for the first time in March
This is a senior who has been silent for a long time
Just because this event ended up in Shijiazhuang, where he lives
Come on buddy, come out and do something for your brother
And COM, which seems to be a little more active in recent years,
In fact, he is an old member of the e family for more than ten years, a super player
A person who just wants to play with like-minded brothers on simple and happy FB
He likes to be “invisible” and doesn’t like to show up, but he will be there when he needs it.
i want to be in the e family
Whether it’s always here, or it’s been a long time
Even those who have been disappointed and can’t find their way
“If there is a call, it must be answered”
But it is still the voice of many family members
May 10th, the official registration day
Old friends who got together, born after 50/60/70/80
On this day, it seems to be back to the boy
Embracing brothers, even tears
Maybe it’s not too sentimental, it’s just that the true feelings are revealed to the point where I can’t help it
You Ershengxia shared his motivation for joining the Friends Club
1. Take a group photo
2. Meeting old friends and meeting new ones
3. I haven’t participated in a large-scale event for a long time
4. Thanks to the party, you can get a lot of souvenirs~
Of course, this is also the motivation for many people to come.
And the most important thing among them is to meet the brothers
Someone was at the check-in desk at Camp Goode that day
Jokingly said that the four-wheel drive small card “Are you going to work for Goodyear?”
I happened to overheard it, so I asked him privately how he felt at the check-in desk for a whole day
He replied: “There must always be someone familiar with the situation.
I do things for brothers, I want to see everybody
The sign-in area is a place where you can greet everyone…”
I think his answer is applicable to Chen Haonan, Xianxian, Laofan,
Rally, Dao Sun, Drift 159, Iron Steel, Two Legs…
Applicable to every brother who paid for this event
Every brother and sister in the working group, you have worked hard
Thank you for serving you wholeheartedly!
night of may 10
Temporary camp set up in Gute
Everyone sits around drinking, eating meat and eating rabbit heads, sharing delicious food and stories
I sat in camp for four hours and watched the seniors come and go
Clink glasses, talk about the past and present, and then move on to the next game
This gathering of old friends seems to have built a platform
Because of enough strength, I can gather the veterans in this circle together
Therefore, there are many small reunions under the big party
It’s nice to meet old friends and meet new ones!
[I have heard a lot of moving stories, save them for later and tell them slowly]
The theme summit on May 11 has a lot of dry goods
Many predecessors have done detailed reports
I will not describe in detail here
thanks to everyone involved
Among them, the cross-country E family shared the theme of “Emergency Rescue, Disaster Prevention and Mitigation”
Sorting out and guiding the direction and development of rescue work
Rescue is a tradition that the e family has always voluntarily adhered to
Later, we will start with an in-depth interpretation
night of may 11
After the group dinner at the Friends Club
Everyone also started one after another of not getting drunk and not returning
I want to be the initiator of the old friends club
In fact, Brother Mai Cao has always been very clear about the positioning of the Old Friends Club.
“This isn’t someone’s old friend’s club, it’s everyone’s
Not many people come here for me
But everyone has someone he/she wants to meet and a reason to come
This is the meaning and value of existence…”
What about things, if you don’t do it, you will never go wrong
But if no one does it, it may miss a lot
like if there were no old friends, many people
May never be touched again, and reap the long-lost touch
The old friends meeting in 2018 is considered to be a temporary initiative
But it opened a new chapter with unexpected grandeur
Brother Mai Cao said that in fact, many places are not good enough and rough
But everyone’s feelings are really devoted
2019’s Friends Club Tries New Ways, Not Perfect
However, I think for everyone
One of the most important goals has been achieved:
That’s old friends meeting, seeing brothers, hugging and drinking
I think for a lot of people in the Friends Club
In this life, probably never again
Ten or twenty years of devotion to love like in the E family…
What kind of magical or legendary existence is the E family?
There are many answers, but there seems to be no answer
Love and hatred in the bloody rivers and lakes are clear
It is so hearty and joyful that you can sing wine and sing songs
But where there are rivers and lakes, there are naturally disputes
But what does that matter?
There are brothers here, let’s carry love and hate together
To live is to toss
Besides, the cross-country rivers and lakes must follow the rules after all.
In the end, there are actually many things I want to say that I have not said.
There are many people to thank who haven’t had time to mention
In short, thanks to every family friend and brother who has contributed to the Old Friends Association
Thanks to every sponsor who gave great support to the event
Gathering is a ball of fire, scattered is a sky full of stars
Convergence and Convergence, Thousands of Miles
With you on the e-road, we will meet again in the coming year!
