Going Across the Whole World to See You（1） ＂How much hardship have we suffered; how many tears were in our eyes; then we know sentiment is the heritage of love. How many beds have you wandered around; how many times did you change the belief; then we can exchange our rings without hesitation. ＂ After the call with Barry, these lyrics as a lightning suddenly broke into my mind. And an acute pain stuck my heart. How many experiences of love a person should have, before he can get to the happiness? In my girlhood, I once met a young man. With his sincerest love and generosity, he forgave and spoiled me. Unfortunately, after a fierce argument, I lost him; like a child accidently broke a crystal plate, and never can let it recover. Since then, my heart has been floating in the world. Through the mountains, across the rivers, by the seas, I don’t know where I can settle down. ＂The world is so big that I want to have a look at it. ＂ I wanted to see whether the world is big enough, and whether a new place full of joys and hopes was waiting for me. When I watched this world, I found a fact that no matter how big the world is, without someone’s concern, loneliness filled everywhere. But never is loneliness what I really want. One day, a stranger talked with me on a web site about learning English. He sent me a text, saying:＂Hopefully we can be good friends.＂I smiled, and added his Wechat account-I used to say the similar polite formulas. Afterwards, he often chatted with me on Wechat. I gradually found that he really regarded me as an important friend to get along with, and it was not just polite. This man is Barry. Once, he asked me:＂When is your birthday? ＂ ＂Why are you interested in it?＂ ＂Nothing that I wish to know.＂ I told him:＂Two months later.＂ ＂June what? ＂ I felt weird, though I told him. As a result, what he said shocked me: ＂If you can give me the opportunity to meet you, we can celebrate it together. ＂ I didn’t respond; I couldn’t either. A sorrow welled up from my heart. Nobody cared about my birthday after my mother’s death. He was the first. Half a month later, he told me: his company would open a new branch in Venezuela, and he was the one of the team members. And He would come directly to China to see me as long as he finished his work. I was scared and refused him immediately. I explained : First, my oral skills were not good enough, and couldn’t express well.
