Lost handkerchiefs
Although handkerchiefs were cheap, they had loyally accompanied us going through years. Whenever you took out a handkerchief that you have kept, you could read those silent hidden words and recall the happy or sad past. You could even think of how you felt when you bought it. It witnessed the growth of a whole generation and their emotional experience. It quietly brought about cleanness and happiness to many people and never asked for any reward. Nowadays many people like to use tissues of various brands. However, there are still quite a number of people who like using handkerchiefs. Tissues are thrown away after being used once, so in it we cannot see the path of life, memories of the past, and growing of emotions, which we do not cherish and have feelings to since they are just simple and superficial.

Handkerchiefs have faded out of our sight, walked out of our lives, and lost in the old days with time passing by, together with the childhood and youth of our generation. It has disappeared thoroughly although we still cherish the feelings. They have disappeared without trace that we cannot catch it. Only the beautiful memories stay deep down in our hearts. In fact, we are going to lose everything no matter whether it is precious or plain. So, why not cherish more when you still own it? Thus, there will be less pity or pain when you lose it.
