I just try to write in English ;)

On the Mit-Autumn Festival, I went back to Guangzhou and met many old friends, including senior sister apprentice who was one of the colleges in my last internship in undergrauduation; undergraduate roommate Wang Zhen who is now a social work master student in SYSU. And I also went to the college town to meet Wang Qi who was one of my parterns in student associations. In addition, I had lunch with close friend- Jiang Xiaohuang, and wandered the south campus of SYSU, communicated with a junior fellow apprentice who is studing sociology in SYSU and wants to apply for media in CUHK or HKBU. Then I had dinner with my senior high school classmates in Taotao Ju and shared the mooncakes. What a wonderful day!

During communicating with them, I found many differencies between different people and their status. Friends who are working in the companies have many complains and seem helpless to change the situation of overtime work. Others who continue further study of master degree in Mainland feel chanlleged about the new start of the master study, since the demands of master is much higher than that of bachelor. I can't agree more with this feeling, especially when I compare with my local HK classmates and other mainland classmates who work so hard and have much better abilities than me. It is not only because the higher demands from the professors, but also the peers around me are much different. I realized that during the last 4 years of undergraduate study, I lived a too comfortable life when many others I don't know tried their best to study really hard. When I saw my junior fellow apprentice's status- sleepy, boring, sluggish, just spend the whole day watching drama since there is no course in the last year of undergraduate study, I feel astonished and familiar. I was familiar with this status because I lived a similar life in the same period; I was astonished because presently I cannot believe we just waste time during so valuable period- how silly I was! However we cannot go back to the past, so we needs to work harder to offset the time and works we lost.

 

During social policy and social welfare lecture, the professor asked us "what is well-being?" Once I think if I can do what I want to do without any restriction, I will feel happy. Then I believe that owning enough money to buy what I want and do what I like to do will make me satisfied. After all, the professor said "to  have capabalities to choose to live a life with a reason of value, that is well-being". Nevertheless, I am not sure I understand the essence of these words, but I agree with this perspective, because I believe that everyone is born to be valuable, and I am still finding my value so far.

One's dream may be strongly related to one's well-being. To be a professor in the university is my dream from long time ago. I usually imagine the scence that I teach students and let them see the interests of the knowledge and the potentials of themselves. Whenever I think of this dream, I feel happy and blessed. Although I know there is a long way to go and I still have no more detailed and grand plan for the future. All I can do now is to try my best to study in my postgraduate, to do what a student ought to do, and learn real ability to fulfill myself. The objectives may not be so clear up to now, but I suggest that they will become clearer when I devote to something with my nature talent.

Compared to my classemate and roommates, I may move forward very slowly, but what matter is that I still move forward. Never give up, never give up, never give up. Just remember why I decide to study in HK, in CUHK- it just because I didn't lose the hope of the society and I wish I can do something benefit to social welfare development in Mainland China. Because I believe everybody has the responsibility to the society and I hope I can be an angle in the mortal world to let the people around me live a bit better life. Now I still remember, I wich I won't forget it one day. Fighting, Ester~ the better me is always by my side:)
