2nd March is National Old Stuff Day(旧物日) in the US. It is all about old stuff — things you used have been forgotten for ages in your home. You must have some old stuff around. And today is all about enjoying it and reusing(再次使用) it. Because what's better than finding something really great from days gone by?
It's so easy to forget things you have. If we don't use them every day, some things can be put away and stay there. And that's not just the things in your home — technology grows so quickly that new toys come out all the time, and new books keep coming out. In the age of new information, we can have so many things easily. Today is all about remembering the things we left behind.
We've learnt to value what age can bring to things. Wines, for example, are more valuable and tastier as they grow older. It's certain that old things still have their uses, value or charm. People today will pay a lot of money for stamps, toys, video games, board games, books, coins, and clothes of yesterday.
You can really get into the charm of old things by visiting a junk shop(旧货店). Another person's old stuff could be your new stuff! Or maybe now is a good day to clean up! Old stuff could become a great gift for someone else, or you could always send your old things to a charity(慈善机构). If you're free, you can turn your old clothes into new ones with just a little change.
Today could be a good day to visit your elder families. You could ask your grandparents to tell you stories about family history, their childhood and their youth. Learn about what was going on in the world when they were growing up.
Most of all, remember that today's new stuff will one day be old stuff.
