Two children were seen playing in the rainwater in front of an HDB housing complex in Singapore. This scene that recently went viral on social media has touched the hearts of many. In the picture, two children can be seen stepping barefoot into the water that has accumulated in the open space below the building.
They had toys in their hands and pure joy on their faces. Such spontaneous moments have become rare for many, even in the midst of busy city life.
Pure Childhood Joy
The video shows children running, splashing and playing in the water in their own way. The rows of HDB blocks and green grass fields around them make the whole scene more lively. The shallow water that has accumulated after the rain has become a small playground for them.
There is no arrangement anywhere, yet there is no shortage of joy. This simple scene quickly spread online and received a huge response.
Wave of Nostalgia
Many people said on social media that this scene reminded them of their own childhood memories. According to many, such mischievous days with friends were the most peaceful times in their lives. Some believe that today’s children are too quickly immersed in education and technology-based life.
So this age may be the time for them to truly enjoy themselves. Again, some older users said that even if there was no rainwater in their time, they would have fun and create an environment for sports themselves.
According to some, such free play plays an important role in children’s mental and social development. All in all, the scene has created a big wave of nostalgia online.
