“In
the sunset of dissolution, everything is illuminated by the aura of nostalgia.”
I
came across this quote from Milan Kundera and suddenly realized the place
where I wanted to escape out of is the place I really dream of.
Once
you leave somewhere, it will live in your memory. I had been living in China
for more than 20 years and I was fed up with everything that surrounded
me: air pollution, water pollution, fast-paced life, superficial relationships
amongst people, etc. Everything began to annoy me.
Finally,
I got on an airplane flying to Canada which is miles and miles away from my own
country. When the sunshine is down on the ground here, it is midnight and full
of darkness in my hometown. Canada is really a brand new world to me.
Honestly,
I do not miss my old country, but I do indeed miss many
aspects of my life there. The food I liked, the places I travelled to, the
festivals I celebrated together with my beloved family
and friends; these memories are just like the blood circulating in my
body.
I
keep this blog as a container for my forever lasting memories. My past is
full of life and I will present it here for you.
