[交流] Childhood Memories

If only I could go back some fifteen years, things would be much more different. That’s exactly how I felt when I coincidentally encountered Rui Lee, my classmate and best friend fourteen years back in Butterfly Primary School. After all these years’ disconnection, we did know each other about almost nothing. I even did not know how to continue our talk when sitting next to him on the bus. It makes me feel not belonged here and I’m kind of sorry for all my negligence.

Ten years elapsed since we were in sixth grade and that was when I last met him. Something from my childhood flooded my head ten years later. I couldn’t help thinking of those years and imaging me as a naughty boy who likes to play with his friends in the wild and naturally forgets what he has been told by his grandma. Weird, isn’t it? I have a good memory for things happened long ago. I can suddenly remember how I did feel when I got up one morning ten years ago. I can recall all the places we have been playing hide and seek in. I can even knew my thoughts back to that moment. But things changed so did people.

I was brought up in a poor family, and my parents are both peasants. I had very few friends when I was a child and learned how to survive in those offensive abuses from kids raised in rich families. I was kind of more sensible than other kids in our village as I knew I had to. Those are just some unpleasant memories that I will never get rid of. Later I studied as hard as I could to send myself to high school, and then university, and now become the only one who is going to get a postgraduate degree in this small place. I could hardly imagine this to happen to me when I kept all my sufferings in silence those days. But fortunately it happened.

Sometimes when I look into the past I would also feel so lucky and thankful for what I’ve experienced in my childhood. If I hadn’t been through all the difficulties I shall never know how to appreciate working hard to get something one needs. I know I’m not the one who is always aiming at something but I do have found my own way to live a more colorful life. I know what I want and what the meaning of my life would be in the future. That’s really important to me. Now I’m working hard not just for a comfortable life but for the “colors” I want. I always tell my parents that I’m not going to be very rich and nor will I be powerful, but what I’m going to be is a special person. I know what villagers have in mind about the college students. But to me, what they are interested in never seems so attractive. I’ve made it easy for my parents to understand by telling them that I’m going to be fine and doing something special. And that’s exactly what I am thinking of.

Back to my childhood again, I could also find some sweet memories. I remember the big lake I have swum in and the wild lotus smelled that nice. I remember the fishing Sunday on every weekend. I also remember bringing back home some shrimps and shell fish to keep in a big glass discarded by our neighbor. I used to love our family cat and feed her with raw fish. I had picnics in the wild sometimes with some of my best friends and we really cooked something like toasted corn then. Occasionally I would go hunting for hares or pheasants with some villagers. I really had a lot of fun. But what made me most excited was making snowman in winter. I loved snow when I was a kid and did never feel tired in the field chasing after snowflakes. That’s all I can remember and I thank god that I was born so close to nature. I also thank my parents for their years of being tolerant with my willfulness.

I can’t believe I have written so much about my childhood life even though I won’t be surprised by my own understanding to the past. But I feel really great after doing this. Diaries do help me go through a lot. And this time I guess I find my colorful childhood again.
