• a piece of astounding news

  2010-3-12

      It has been two weeks after the term began. I am just too lazy to do anything every day. A coworker of mine when I was working in the other school has gone to Beijing to receive an operation. I was astonished to hear the news.

      Another lady coworker has been diagnosed as having cancer. One day on the way home when I met her, I saw her dilapidated simply. Her situation must have been declining. She was pale, thin and lack of spirit. She has been an optimistic, though she divorce twice and is living only with her daughter. Her disease has been a catastrophic disaster to her family. I don’t know what will happen to her daughter after her possible end day that may come.

      This time this lady’s situation is not as serious as that lady’s. But I am also astounded after hearing the news. I don’t know why. Why should such disasters happen to my coworkers?

  As clearly as can be seen, all the teachers of the present day are under heavy burden every day. They are assaulted by trivial but tough matters. The students are not like what we were in the past. Most of them are disobedient. But we can’t think of any means to keen them under control. We are not supposed to do this and that. We can’t punish them as our teachers could when we were receiving schooling. And we have the divine responsibility to teach them to behave themselves. What is more, we are facing a lot of problems that come from the students’ parents. In their eyes, we have to help their kids to get high marks to ensure them to go to a higher and even quality school.  But they don’t know the fact that they have brought up a problem child. We are not saints. How can we make a stone out of hay?

      It makes me reconsider what I should do every day. I shouldn’t strain myself too much, for otherwise I might face the same consequences in the future. I should know what I can’t do and what I can’t. I can’t always make the extreme efforts to do things that may go beyond my capacity.

  Life is transitory. Think of how much time my life has left to me, I can’t help sweated all over, especially when I am widely awake and look at the four walls. Why should our life be full of such cares and worries?

      Don’t try to alter whatever is unalterable. Let it be and just whatever that may benefit ourselves.

• It is a tragedy.

  2010-3-01

      A new term is coming. We are going to start to work the day after tomorrow.

      It has been a busy and free holiday and it has gone too soon. It is busy because there was so much to do during the spring festival. It is free because I don't need to work.

      According to others, I have been a successful teacher. At least in the district, a lot of adults and students approve of my teaching style and results. In public, I vow that I like teaching so much and I wish to devote all my time and life to teaching. In private when I am despised not for inability to do my job as a teacher but simply for my job, I feel frustrated. As a matter of fact, I don't like teaching. If I have to do teaching, I would like to teach in a university, where I can say what I want to say and make any comment that I would like to make.

      I like freedom and I like democracy. I wish to say anything and do anything that within the law. I don't think it is right to do whatever we wish to do. There should be something such as the law to set limits. However, I feel that we can't do so many things that it is legal for us to do them. It is a tragety.

• About the Spring Festival

  2010-3-01

  About the Spring Festival

      I don't know what it means to others to have a Spring Festival. To me, it is rather a burden and not an enjoyment at all.

      I went back to my hometown and gave some gifts to my relations, some money or things I prepared for them. Then I came back, together with my wife and my son. My son didn't fire fireworks for three years, because of the passing away of my mother. There is a tradition here in my hometown that if one of your family members passes away, then you won't be expected to fire fireworks for three years. My son is so happy that he can do that this year and he does that a lot.

      My wife and I did some preparations for the spring festival. From the last day of the last year till now we have spent most of the time indoors. I have been accustomed to a life of solitude. We ate what we have prepared for the festival and watch TV. There is nothing particular about the festival, only a common day in my life.

      I felt my life was like an unmoored boat that was floating in the river. After marriage and the arrival of my son, I felt some divine responsibilities were on my shoulders and my life has become significant as a result.

      It was downcast for a few days. But today it looks up and my heart leaps up when I see the warm and consoling sun.

• I dreamed of her last night.

  2010-1-18

   I dreamed of my late espoused sister.

        Last night dreams haunted me all through the night. I dreamed of her in my dreams.

        She looked as she usually looked when she was alive. She didn't grow old as I do. I forget most of the dream. I only know that she was expected to be married to my closest friend and they were preparing for a wedding. She was happy. Not a sign of sadness could I discern from her looks.

        The it dawned another morning to me. I waked, she fled, and the day brought me a sad night.

        It is as clear as can be to me that dreams are futile to all of us. However, how can I meet her if not in dreams? It remains a sorrow to me whenever I think of it. I can't get over the grief for the loss of her.

        Looking back on the time that goes by, I suddenly realize that sixteen years has passed by. She was only about twenty when she fled, from the earth that she had long been bored of. Her sudden departure left me in grief for over. Sometimes I hate her for her unconcern about me. She had never thought of the fact that how our mother and I would feel if she took such an action.

        It was all over for her when she put up the poison and swallowed it. It was for ever a grief to me. Only at the last day of my life can I be released from the pains and sorrows.

        I will live on, for her action taught me a lesson. I can 't think of only myself and leave others in deep sorrow. Whatever may happen to me, I will carry on, for the sake of my family and all those who love me.

• The meaning of life

  2010-1-11

      We should live happily because there is a long time to go after we die.

      So frequently do we often complain about the tedium of life. To pessimists, there is really nothing meaningful in life that we can live by. I am not a pessimist, but such a feeling occurs to  me from time to time.

      I logged on my qq this morning and found this saying at the qzone of a friend of mine. It dawned on me. It seems that that my views on life have taken a new turn.

      Yes, life is made up too many things. Some are agreeable, others are simply unfavourable with us. What a life it will be if our life is full of happiness. Misfortunes, miseries, setbacks, frustrations, are also necessary components of life. When we get tired of the happiness that surrounds us, a temporary indulgence into the pungent taste of misfortune may make us look back afresh on the life that belonged to us and make us cherish what we have. It is only after the savor of the bitterness that we can realize what an enjoyment it will be to indulge into sweetness.

      Whatever it will be, it will be. Think of nothing that may come tomorrow. Just try our best to enjoy life while we can. It is simply out of our hand to decide what may come tomorrow. What is the use being concerned about it every day?

      We are only antlike animals. We can only live and then depart from the world. They are only maniacs if they want to leave lasting infludence to the world after they die. Once we die, we are nothing at all.

      It is meaningless if we want to find the meaning of life.

• Misfortunes come at night

  2010-1-08

  2009 waved "good bye"to all of us and ushered in 2010.

        I can still remember that when I was just a small kid, I often imagined what a scene it would be when 2000 really came. But before I even notice the arrival of 2000, it has left me far behind. Now it is right at the beginning of 2010. I haven't made any new year resolutions. Life passes so quickly. I am becoming old this way. I can't foresee the future when the last day comes.

         Every day I am busy doing all kinds of drudgery. I have been used to living such a kind of life. Most probably I will live such a kind of life until I leave here for another world.

        The one who lives downstairs had a car accident. He is still in hospital. I decide to see him tomorrow. While I am still jealous about his purchase of a new car, he has been serious injured by it. It is really true that misfortunes come at night.

• am I not familiar with the ways of the world?

  2010-1-06

  I have to confess that I am ignorant of worldly affairs.

      At a wedding ceremony of one of my young coworkers, a man was needed to lead the  bride and bridegroom to propose a toast to each guest at every table. Someone recommended me for the post. I gave it no second thought and accepted the mission hehe. I lead them to every table and did what such a duty is due to do. 

      However after the wedding some say that it should have been a younger man to do the job. I am feeling rather ashamed. I don't know if the one who recommended me was joking. But there was no other beside but the three men, me included. So far as the age is concerned, I was just in the middle. What was more, we need someone unmarried to fire the firecracks. However we three were all married. The one younger than me  vounteered to do the job. The other one was in his forties. No one of the family of the bride and bridegroom was there. We had only three men and three ladies.

      I only tried to help. I hadn't thought that I would do something wrong in terms of the local customs and traditions. I had the least intention to make a fool of myself. God damn it!

      We six arrived at the hotel where the wedding was planned to be held even earlier than the bride and bridegroom. The bride and bridegroom come from the countryside, and they know nothing of the wedding affairs in the city. We six had only gone there to provide help. What is more, they had their wedding ceremony held in their hometown. They only come here to entertain the guests of our school.

      Whatever they think of it, I don't care now. I only wished to help. I had no other interior motives.

• I am feeling somewhat relieved.

  2010-1-06

      I had been very sad recently. I had searched the internet just to have found that the psoriasis is incurable. All those who have been temperarily cured of it only have taken  western medicine which is highly composed of hormone. Hormone can only take effect for a short time, only to leave very bad consequences. The psoriasis will spread more quickly than ever after the possible temparary rehabilitation.

      I had been depressed. I only wanted to take advice from some of those who had been chronic suffers from psoriasis, to do exercise to build my body and take some Chinese medicine. I reserved this secret to myself and behaved rather inferiorly before others.

      I was intimidated as I had vowed here.

      However, I went to the hospital and have it diagonised. I went to the most renowned hospitals here in our city. Three doctors told me that what I have been suffering from was only eczema. I didn't believe my ears. I tried to tell them that I had been a victim from it for seventeen years. They only told me that eczema persisted in me as a result of improper treatment. For example, eczema should not been washed frequently, but my parents had washed it every night according to what had been advised by the doctor. I reiterated my questions to ensure if it was psoriasis. The three doctors, one very old man included, reassured me of the fact it was eczema. I was feeling so happy then. No words can describe my feelings then.

      I had been suffering from eczema which is curable.

      The doctors prescribed some medicine to me and ensured me that it could be cured, though they had no assurance that it might be cured once and for all. I was feeling relieved. At that time, the sky seemed to be brighter than ever, and the world all around me seemed to have been changed drastically.

      I only wish that it can be cured. Even if it persists, I am not afraid of it any more.

• We quarreled bitterly last night.

  2009-12-04

  We quarreled bitterly last night.

  We had been on good terms for a few days after the bitter argument. Last night, we quarreled again.

  The reason for our quarreling has been always around petty internal affairs, mostly because she sits up very late every night. Usually she does nothing before nine o’clock, only to set out to clean the floor and wash the clothes after nine o’clock. But it is my habit to go to bed early and get up early. And I am accustomed to finish all my work early before the deadline. It is her habit only to rush to the work and do it deep into the night to finish, sometimes she even works overnight when she is supposed to hand in the homework tomorrow. If I sit up very late, I will always have a headache the next day. I admonished her several times. But she insisted. I know it is not right to quarrel over petty affairs. Whenever I see my son toss and turn in the bed and can’t fall asleep, I can’t control myself and fly into a fury. Last night when it was nearly ten o’clock and my son was supposed to go to bed, she still kept the washing machine rumbling. No one can go to sleep when too much noise is sent into the ears.

  We quarreled bitterly. My son began to cry when he saw from his bedroom that we were quarreling. Our quarrel came to a halt. But after a while the fight restarted. We didn’t come to reconciliation. I felt my heart ached. And I tossed and turned in my bed for a long time. I didn’t sleep very well. My wife must have done the same.

  I know that either side should concede. If the two sides are persistent then it is hard to come to reconciliation. Although I am a man, I don’t want to yield, because I am furious. Ahahhahh

  I know too much quarreling hurts each other. However we can’t reach an agreement that we should abide by. We live under the same roof, so it is impossible for us to live separately. Although there will not be overnight confrontation according to a Chinese proverb, I don’t know how to talk with her to reach an agreement that we should go to bed at about the same time, for the sake of our own health and especially the health of our kid. It won’t do any good to him if he always goes to bed very late at night.

  I should have much more self-control.
