I don't know why, these days few pieces of memories jump across my mind. It reminds me of the day at Lhamo La-tso, the day at Haikou city, and the days at Jiufen town.
I would like to consider life as a journey. We grown up, and go to different places for study, working and traveling. It looks like that we will meet new friend no matter when or where. As a journey, you have you own destination and purposes, some of the friends will accompany with you for a while. You will share a good or bad memories with others. It was nice that you can have a partner to enjoy the trip. Then, after a certain time, you will travel alone to your destination. Since no one will have exactly the same destination with you as long as you are traveling. Similar as you take high-speed rail from Guangzhou to Beijing, different people with sit around you and most of them will get off the train in the middle way. Even few of them will arrive at the terminal station, you will still have different destinations later. That means, you choose your path, you set your walking pattern, speed. Nobody can force you to arrive your destination. It is probably true that we were forced to study hard at high school to enter a good university. But it does means going to a good university is the end of your story, you still need to go anyway.
First piece of memories is the day at Lhamo La-tso, I went to Tibet at the summer of 2012. The day I went to the Lhamo La-tso was early August, it was first snow for that year. It was the first time, I saw the heavy snow at Summer time. The vision there was hard to express in words. You could feel the peace, the silence. In addition, I met a photographer. She had good equipment, such as Canon 5D Mark II. The unexpected experience of that day was that our face were all sun burned and eyes were snow blindness for a day, since the strong sunshine reflection from the snow.
The second piece was when I was walking at Haikou city at January, 2014. That day, I was just finish cycle the Hainan Island, and wait for the afternoon's train. Just remember that had a good breakfast, and walked in the parks.
The third piece of memories was when I was enjoying the sunset at Jiufen, Taiwan at May, 2015. That day, I was leave from Taipei city and had a daily trip to Jiufen. I met two friends, one is Amy, who is an exchange student from University of Wisconsin at Madison, and XX from Malaysia, who used to study at UK for a year. The weather of that day, actually was not so good. It was too cloudy with partial rain. But it turned out that the sunset was wonderful.
Best wishes to all of the friend I met. Hope you have a good journey as well.
