Hi Pln, You are really very kind.It makes me feel better while writing to you.
Shanghai is better than Beijing.I know that.It's just that I cann't survive here now.what a pity!LOL LOL LOL.I am trying to improve myself to have the capacity to go anywhere. It's okay.Trying to help me does already make me heart-warming.I really enjoy writing to you.You know,my status is better than few days ago.I went out travel some visiting place in Chongqing yesterday.They are Three Gorges Museum and MeiXin Changjiang.In Chongqing,go Museum,if you want to know this city;go Meixin changjiang,if you want to meet foreigners.GOOD PLACE. That's great! I plan to trouble you for a long time.^_^ My birthday is Sep,28.Two days before the birthday of my country.Will I get a present?^_^ The young in China like me is confusing now.We have many knowledges and great ideas.We have seen many amazing things in big city.However,We have to work with older people whose age is 30-40.When they are young,china is so different,which is bigger than any other countries.So We have a huge conflict too.LOL I am trying to focus on what I can control and do my best. What should I do,if I plan to go Europe to visit you when I have enough money? Good day to you.
