真我的云彩

祥韵

世界赠予我什么？

业余时间，才能寻找自我。

下午暴雨警告，如雷贯耳，像是空头支票。彩虹，今晚给了肇庆，我却在他乡。

也是一个追逐晚霞的傍晚，我的目光落在一个美团小哥——黄袍加身，戴着头盔，骑在外卖电动车上，背靠尾箱，并不下车。蘑菇云已经褪去铅华，他手里仍然举着相机瞄准。我忍无可忍，和他寒暄几句，称赞他即使忙碌，仍然保持对生活的热爱，不忘善待自己。他说今天已完成很多单，不想太累了。他略为腼腆，谦称设备不行，才一万二的松下套机。我说不要紧，关键看镜头，MTF指标。并且提示他找到日落方向的耶稣光。

我一边返回一边思考，职业无分贵贱，管它回报悬殊。没有一个人，有放弃尊严的权利。下了班，你就是自己的领路人，热爱生活，奔赴山海，活出真我的风采。

What has the world bestowed upon me?

It is only in spare time that one can seek their true self.

The afternoon downpour warning thundered in the ears, yet it felt like an empty promise. A rainbow graced Zhaoqing tonight, but I was far from home.

It was also an evening chasing the sunset glow when my gaze fell on a Meituan delivery rider—dressed in the iconic yellow uniform, wearing a helmet, riding an electric delivery scooter, leaning against the rear storage box, and not getting off the vehicle. The "mushroom cloud" (a metaphor for the spectacular sunset) had faded its splendor, but he still held his camera up, ready to shoot. Unable to hold back my admiration, I struck up a casual chat with him, praising his ability to keep a passion for life and treat himself well despite his busy schedule. He said he had already completed many orders that day and didn’t want to overexert himself. He was slightly shy, dismissing his equipment as "not good enough"—just a 12,000-yuan Panasonic kit lens camera. I told him that didn’t matter; the key lies in the lens, specifically the MTF (Modulation Transfer Function) index. I also reminded him to look for the crepuscular rays in the direction of the setting sun.

As I walked back, I reflected: no occupation is superior or inferior, regardless of the vast differences in rewards. No one has the right to give up their dignity. After work, you become your own guide—love life, march toward mountains and seas, and live with the grace of my true self.
