Horseman, Pass By I chose this university last June. It was my own decision. I like language study and I have been wanting to be a translater since I was young. But the life here doesn't look as good as I thought before I came to this city. Chengdu is really a great city. You foreigners should have a journey here if you come to China. The nice Sichuan food, the beautiful Sichuan girls which really makes me quite jealous, and, the most important, the horrible distance to my hometown. I'd been staying in Changshu for more than 20 years. I love her deeply but at the same time I wanna run away from her. Perhaps many young people have the same feeling. When the relatives and my middle school teachers asked me which univercity I would go to, they were all surprised by my choice. "Oh it's so far! You will miss home badly. Silly girl." Yes, I'm silly and brave. But my mom is braver. She never said taht she regreted to support me. She always sopports me. So does my daddy. Actually I know they miss me so badly because I miss them either. The horrible distance is a release of my hot young heart. Meanwhile I'm hurt badly from it. The journey which will last four years in this university and this city has told me so much. "Cause it's a bittersweet symphony, this life" The Verve
