against time

"Race Against Time" was a popular song sung by Chen Chusheng (from the album "Chen Chusheng's Singles Collection", released in January 2013). It was also an essay written by Lin Qingxuan, a Chinese writer from Taiwan (the essay was selected for the China People's Education edition and the Beijing Normal University edition of primary school language textbooks). From the content of Lin Qingxuan's prose, the author described his perception of time due to his grandmother's death when he was a child, and elaborated on the point of view that time could never return. After experiencing the grief of his grandmother's death, the author had benefited greatly from racing against time, such as racing against the sun and the northwest wind, and completing homework ahead of time. He believed that although people could never run faster than time, they could run faster than before. If they worked harder, they could even run a few steps faster. These small steps had great uses. He also said that if he wanted to teach children a truth, that was, if they kept racing against time, they could succeed. In addition, the concept of "race against time" was also reflected in other scenes, such as Hunan Firefighters racing against time to rescue the masses in the flood, takeout riders racing against time to complete orders as soon as possible, and people looking for goods on the mountain racing against time because they were worried that the weather would affect the stock of goods.

In many death-related incidents, all parties were racing against the time of death. For example, in the 2013 murder case in Luocheng, Guangxi, after the police found a possible "death list" of serial killers, they raced against time to protect the people on the list while stepping up the pursuit of the murderer. The police of Beisheng Police Station of Liuyang City Public Security Bureau carried out first aid for the drowning and unconscious old man. They raced against time before the arrival of the ambulance and finally pulled the old man back from the brink of death. After the man in Wenzhou drank paraquat, the medical team closely monitored his condition and raced against the poison attack every day. After a long time of hard work, he turned the danger into safety. Ji Cien's 19-year-old friend asked for mercy, and his grandmother raced against time to arrange studies for her granddaughter with congenital mental disability to stand on her own feet when she was dying of cancer. All of these examples reflected the situation of different characters racing against time when facing the threat of death.

My Familiar Is Really Not an Evil God, by Morning Crow. This was a fantasy novel about a different continent. Lu Yu came to the familiar world where evil gods peeped and ancient taboos were revived. Everything here could transform into pets. The powerful ones had ecological niches and could radiate out all kinds of secret realms. After witnessing the Forbidden Sun incident, Lu Yu could extract materials from all things to edit the Secret Food. After eating the Evolution Secret Food, the familiar could evolve into the Dragon God of the End, and so on. There were also magical abilities such as the Secret Food skill and the Secret Food Sacrifice. His familiars were strange, like Spider Shadow, the Crimson Master, and the Devourer of Worlds, but he said they weren't evil gods. The combination of the familiar and Cthulhu elements in this book was superb. The setting was novel, the imagination was great, the interaction between humans and pets was warm, and the writing was exquisite. Although it had an otaku feel, it was still a very relaxing novel. The recommendation index was four stars. I also recommend Born to Run, a sports novel written by Zombie Dance. The protagonist was a poor young man from the countryside. He had no parents and grew up with his grandparents. He had a talent for running, and he had grown up from refusing to be a sports student to becoming a sports student. Without the system, transmigration, and other elements, relying on talent and hard work was very positive. The book described the change in the protagonist's cognition and the interaction between him and the people around him in detail. The writing style and plot control were even better than the author's previous book, Run Out of My Life. It was a clear and refreshing sports article that was worth reading.

" Running against time " meant recognizing that time was irreversible, and thus taking active action to achieve goals, complete tasks, or realize value within a limited time. From a different perspective, on the personal level, Li Shangyin cherished his time after being frustrated in officialdom and wrote many valuable poems in the later part of his life. Although Li Bai had experienced many years, he still firmly believed in his own value and actively faced the passage of time. In terms of social affairs, such as collecting the remains of fallen soldiers, due to environmental erosion and other factors, the staff had to complete the collection and identification work as soon as possible to comfort the spirits and bring them home. This was a race against time. In the current competitive environment, enterprises had to create the greatest value at the lowest cost in the shortest time, win customer loyalty, and achieve long-term success. This was also a race against time. At the same time, in response to emergencies, such as during the fight against the virus, the staff fought day and night, racing against time, fighting against the virus, racing against death, and racing against the epidemic. For students, in the process of learning and growing up, they should cherish time, develop a good sense of time, arrange their studies and entertainment reasonably, and not delay. It was also a race against time to speed up and seize the time.

The main reasons for racing against time were as follows: First, in some special circumstances, such as when faced with a disease, the patient's physical function would continue to decline from the moment he was diagnosed. For example, Cai Lei's physical condition became worse and worse after his illness, and his muscles gradually lost function and even faced the situation of being unable to breathe. Running against time meant fighting for more chances of survival. Second, in emergencies or emergency missions, such as the earthquake in Sichuan, time was life, and every second that the rescue soldiers were faster could save one more life. Another example was when a factory caught fire, the firefighters raced against time to control the fire as soon as possible and reduce the loss of people's lives and property. Third, in daily work, study, and life scenarios, because they felt that there was not enough time, such as taking the national examination, the number of questions was too large and time was tight. In order to complete the task within the specified time, they needed to speed up the progress and race against time to do something. Fourthly, from the perspective of the meaning of life and growth, time could never return. Cherishing time meant loving life. Although people could never outrun time, they could run a few more steps and achieve a better self.
