It’s a lovely day, I think.
It could be an ordinary day if I didn’t make up my mind to the English Salon. But luckily enough, I did get my spirit back and went there straight. And it proves to be a rewarding experience. I met new people, we shared some views together, more importantly, I make a new friend who also graduated from JD. She treated me a meal. My deepest thanks for her to have trust in me. New friends are like new blood in our body, at all times, our mind and soul craves for fresh air.
I also met an Australian, Russell, very nice and friendly. He came here for knowing more about the culture and people, and I think he is a good and patient listener. His presence is a reassuring message for the meeting. Anyway, those who want to improve English would think the foreigners are most welcome wherever they are. Is it a kinda cultural hegemony? Absolutely. But I do appreciate his interest in adventure, which motivates him to change his majors three times in college, launch business after his graduation, play guitar as well as enjoy surfing. He loves changes, making a difference. That’s the passion for life I think. Few people now in China could find such balance between work and quality time. They amass great fortune at the expense of their leisure hours. We know well it’s not healthy and positive attitude actually.
Another thing that elevates me is that I’d like to take part in such benefit activity. Somehow, I am amazed at this activity. It seems to me that these organizers set up such base out of their goodwill and good intention. The activities they hold are designed to expand the possibility of friendship and charity work. On one hand, people from all walks of life could participate in it and learn something new from it, it’s a good occasion for them to form new friendship. On the other hand, they could donate some profits out of such activities to the underprivileged people. To do a good deed, to help others with rewards are the simplest forms of happiness. If time permits, I am willing to do any good deed to those people who are needed. Nothing can beat such pleasure.
