There was an incident at school

From the classroom came the sound of reading, even in the playground can be heard. Lao Li shuffling on the playground, looking at the empty playground, the heart is very lonely lonely, he recalled the original school, every time to the physical education class, always and partners in this playground to play basketball, at that time the playground is synonymous with joy and relief. But now that he was past middle age, he had not seen his childhood friends for a long time. Where were the old friends? What are they doing now? Could they be thinking about me as much as I'm thinking about them?
