After many years conditioning, We have been developed an unshakable faith that we must have been stayed with families on new years eve.But things can go wrong as unexpectedly,there are some instances when you missed your family so much and wanted to buy a ticket and go on the day that you had planed.However,if you were in china,i am sure you won't do those things as you anticipated,even though you are going to buy an air ticket you have to queue for hours for getting the ticket,even more time,Fortunately you got one with effort at last,but this is a small price to spend hours for this little ticket you got.because it can take u home,give you a warm family on bitter New years night.
The annual Chinese New Years eve has came,and most of people in china are preparing meals playing games,talking happily with their families,and waiting for the new years show in the night.But me,after i have been working away from my hometown for four years,I did not go back to my hometown even once,some friends around me asked me why can i stay in a strange place for such a long time,and don't i get homesick?I always smile and answer them,I don't have money how can i back home,and how can i give a surprise to my parents and relatives.yes,the bad truth is that i missed my family too much,and i really don't want to stay in a strange city spending the bitter night with loneliness again and again.every time when i want to dislocate my plan then preparing to go home,and i stopped,for i knew on being a man is not easy,we have the responsible for creating a happier family,changing the condition which is not good enough,no matter how arduous the journey will be in the future,we have to stick to it and we must continue.
Today,i am still alone sitting in front of my computer,thinking about what i have to do in the next year,But i know my heart is not here already,and my brain is conducting me to think more and more,i am just want a little peace right now,but whom can give me?and where my heart will takes me to?

mickey,my dearest niece,firstly thank u for reading,and secondly,i want to ask you a question,can you honestly say that you have not a little envious of looking someone is preparing to go home and have dinner with the family members,when you are still stay far from your hometown,and all of your friends have been home,only you are still live in there...how your feelings will be?can u still happily say that 'strange places are ok for me",i don't think so lo
thanks noaslpls,maybe you are right lol
You are telling not only yourself story, many young ppl in our country are sharing the same situation and view with you.
P.S. Staying a strange place is ok for me, just there are friends with me. And I want to visit more strange places~ hehe
Dear Wayne,
Maybe the biggest surprise and gift that you can give to your family is not in terms of presents but yourself. I am sure they will be more than happy just to see you even without you bring in any gifts. Don't deny them and yourself the happiness of seeing each other. Appreciate them when they are still there.
Nice blog.
i wonder , if this work which you do now , can't give you money or all what you want , so what made you stay and Bear all this hardship.
i think , no one can give you peace if you don't give it to yourself .
