A few days ago, I received a message from a friend in China. It has been a long time since the last time we met. We all missed each other very much. Since the rate of a message is so expensive that he crammed a lot of information into it, including a smiling and lovely face, which touched my heart greatly. And it seemed that I had stepped into and relived the happy time of high school we shared.
He was now studying in HUST—a university in China. He complained about his poor university performance at the last semester and sighed that he was alone all the time and how eager he wanted to be with his old friends. And he also promised to endeavor to find himself again since he had lost himself in the computer games once a time.
He is a wise and intellectual person, as far as I am concerned. He has a special opinion about his life and the world. And He always internalizes his philosophy into his words and behavior, just like Zhuang Zi, a great philosopher in ancient time of China. But his dream is really very realistic---just to earn a lot of money, support his family and make some contributions to his hometown. He likes to enjoy his life and playing computer games tends to be a regular approach for him to release his awful feelings.
He is a really nice guy. Maybe he was born in a wrong time which is not appropriate for him to be away from the material world and to be a great philosopher. After all, we all have to kick in the world if we choose to be a human.

Your article also calls out my memories of high school. Those happy days will never fade away for all us. I can surely understand what you and your friend feel because I myself also have such friends. You may feel blue for the fact that you two can't meet with each other for a long time. However, I suggest you and your fiend to hear a song sung by Wang Baoqiang named Chu Men Kao Peng You which means you can always turn to your friends for help when meet with difficulties outdoor.
ReplyDeleteWe all keep a beautiful memory of the past, which can flash into our minds every now and then. The things we did, the songs we sang and the smiles we had will be tresured all along our lives. However, during our lives, there are still some roads we should go on alone, scenery we should see alone and sadness we should feel alone. Try to sing the songs we used to sing and to love the person we used to love. Then there are no long shadows in our hearts.
ReplyDeletewow, a touching message from an old friend! How lucky you are! I feel really jealous for it. recently, I have been thinking a lot about my past life especiall the part of my friends in highschool. It was just like yesterday before you went to bed there were here with you but when you woke up this morning they are all gone. How terrible this is! Although we somethimes give some compliments to each other though the Internet, the feeling of friendship seems to have already faded.They now all get their only better things to do, and they are all busy with the study and stuffs. Those compliments are just like some kind of polite manners to show that we used to be good friends. And I have tried hard to communicate with them because I really cherish the friendships which worked out only a little. what should I do now? I don't know. Maybe it is time to make some new friends.
