In the days that are carried by daily trivialities, I often need an escape to the mountains and wilderness to calm my tired heart. The 40km off-road race on Tianzhu Mountain on June 15, 2025, is my healing time. Starting from the starting point, we gathered and walked through the lush forests of the mountains, crossing trails and wooden bridges. Despite sweat soaking our clothes, we continued to measure the rugged mountain roads with our footsteps. Climbing up to 2760 meters, the mountain breeze brushes away anxiety, the greenery in the forest soothes restlessness, and every breath embraces nature. The 6-hour and 21 minute sprint, the persistence and breathing on the track, are all processes of dialogue with oneself. Shed away the hustle and bustle of the city, set aside the pressures of life, release emotions while running, and find relaxation in the mountains and wilderness. This off-road trip is not about ranking, it's just about healing oneself. (Jiangxi Yadong Cement/Shen Hanyang)

As a "super spy" professional woman who lives in both the workplace and home, she constantly switches on and off every day, occasionally feeling breathless. Fortunately, I have a secret resurrection trick - essential oil massage. Whenever you step into the SPA room, choose a fragrance according to your heart, whether it's a romantic and sweet rose or a steady and sophisticated sandalwood. With the smooth gestures of the aromatherapy therapist, the originally hard meridians are gently smoothed out, and the whole person relaxes and calms down. Listening to the elegant piano music in your ear, you feel the accumulated life pains are swept away with a press and push, until the massage is over. Your whole body feels like it has been recharged, instantly restored to full energy, as if you can continue to elegantly embrace various challenges! (Far Eastern Department Stores/Huang Ruiqing)

Taking advantage of my father's relatively strong physical condition and my son's job, I had more time for myself in my spare time. I had planned to try fields that I had never ventured into before, such as swimming and playing tennis, but ultimately couldn't shake off the shadow in my heart. Therefore, I chose zero cost leisure - walking. Sometimes after dinner on workdays, I make plans with three or five friends, take random routes, stop and go, browse newly opened food shops or beautiful wardrobe stores, and then happily walk home; Sometimes it's a weekend hike, not climbing too high mountains, not seeking too fast speed. Along the way, there are family members and laughter, enjoying the scenery along the way, and sharing snacks with each other... This gradually becomes the day I look forward to the most. Having a favorite job, accompanying family, and compatible friends, doing your best, living well in the present, and being peaceful every year, is the best practice of this life.

The challenges at work, the burden of family expenses, and the daily commute with people coming and going on public transportation always make people feel down, so I slowly found some "healing time" of my own. Whether exercising, play badminton, or even playing with children, I can quickly get rid of the tiredness of the day. Of course, sometimes it's great to take a long vacation and travel. The key is not the length of time, even if it's just taking a walk with my family on the park path, feeling the stability of the breeze brushing my face and the swaying shadows of the trees, it can help me regain the opportunity to talk to myself. Rest is for walking a longer path. Even in a busy life, it is necessary to leave some space to listen to one's heart and feel the beauty of the present moment. (Far Eastern International Bank/Irwin)

During the summer vacation, my wife and I went to the cinema with our middle school children to watch "Detective Conan". The children were fully immersed in the plot, with ups and downs in the story, sometimes nervous, sometimes laughing. At that moment, I deeply felt the connection between the hearts of a family. After the movie ended, we ate hotpot together, chatting while steaming hot. We shared our recent movie watching experiences and also talked about the details of school life. Watching the children laughing happily and brightly, and the wife's eyes sparkling with happiness, a warm current surged in my heart - the most healing time, not in the distant scenery, but in this ordinary but profound companionship in front of me. Although simple, it is full of power. (Ding&Ding Management Consultants/Chen Jiahong)

For me, the most healing time in a fast-paced life is preparing a cup of hand brewed coffee in the morning, sitting quietly by the window, watching the sunlight pour into the room. At this moment, there was no phone call or message notification, only space for coffee aroma to converse with oneself. On weekends, I will ride my bike to the outskirts for a walk, such as Xindian Yinhe Cave, Xizhi Gongbei Hall Trail, etc., away from the concrete jungle, to enjoy the natural atmosphere and clarify my troubled thoughts. Even if I don't go out, a good drama, a piece of music, or even focusing on repairing old appliances at home are a form of healing that allows me to fully charge and set off again!
