The flight from Harbin to Beijing was delayed, and it was over 19 when it took off. When the plane lined up on the runway, the sun shone into the cabin, and the sky was beautifully dressed by the sunset clouds. A pleasant journey began with the roar of the engine.

Passengers sitting at the edge of the sunset excitedly took out their mobile phones to take pictures and sighed with surprise from time to time. As the plane climbs, the field of vision becomes wider. Xia Guang is more beautiful, the sunset glow is redder, the clouds are like brocade, and the sky is bright. Harbin is beautiful at night.

In an instant, the beautiful Songhua River broke into my lens. The river twists and turns, like a golden ribbon floating on the northeast land. There are many colors of light, and the direction and color of rivers are also changing. It is true that "this scene should only be in the sky."

Outside the porch window, the scenery is beautiful and there are thousands of thoughts. In my career of nearly 60 years, Songhua River, a beautiful river, has always been with me. She is the mother river that I really grew up with. There must be the hard work of my grandparents and my parents in this river, and there must be the tears that my mother shed when she missed me. At this moment, I seem to hear the sound of Songhua River, like my mother calling my birth name.

Songhua River, our Manchu language is "Songa Chariura", which is translated into Chinese as "Tianhe". Now it is the largest tributary of Heilongjiang. It is formed by the confluence of ten rivers, including Toudaojiang, Erdaojiang, Huifajiang, Yinmahe, Nenjiang and Mudanjiang. Originated in Tianchi Lake in Changbai Mountain, it flows northwest to join Nenjiang River near Sancha River in Fuyu County, and then turns east to be called the main stream of Songhua River. After Harbin and Jiamusi, it flows into Heilongjiang near Tongjiang.

The total length of Songhua River is 1.927 km, with a drainage area of about 550,000 square kilometers (21.20,000 square miles), spanning Liaoning, Jilin, Heilongjiang and Inner Mongolia provinces. Finally, it joins the Sanjiang River and flows into tatar strait. Songhua River is my mother river and the mother river in the northeast.

The turbulence caused by the airflow woke me up from my memory. The plane changed its flight direction, and the sun hit the wing near me from the other side, making the wing bright and beautiful.

The setting sun is under the clouds, but the afterglow still blends with the moonlight through the thick clouds, and the sun and the moon shine together. The color of the cloud is no longer colorful, but becomes deep, heavy, solemn and dreamy. Suddenly, I think I really understand the meaning of the word "cloud".

The plane passed through the clouds, and the moon appeared and disappeared, and the clouds fluttered freely with the wind, changing their graceful shapes. She wouldn't know that someone in the plane was intoxicated in this moonlight dusk and photographed her beautiful image.

When the plane landed, I was still immersed in the fabulous "sky".
