A Meeting with a Friend I was very hungry when I left the hospital, for the health examination requires an empty stomach. I decided to find somewhere nearby to eat instead of going home. So I checked the map in the cell phone. Then I found the university my friend Tai on is very close. I chatted with him online and gladly he was on the way back to school. After the meal I finally met him. For five years since the last time we meet with each other. We talked a lot that day, about the past, the academic pressure, and life itself. I was alone for quite a long time, study alone, wander alone, live alone. When I met this old friend that day, after a long talk, I know I'm not lonely. Everyone has to be alone, both living and dying. But it is glad to know that I'm not lonely, giving me much strength to face the uncertainty of future.
