It’sbeen eight years since my graduation of college. After graduation, myclassmates, each pursued his own way. Not a single classmate was within therange of one kilometer. Sometimes, I surfed QQ zone to check what’s going onwith them.
I have nearly thirty elementary schoolclassmates. Family planning wasn’t strict then, my village had its ownelementary school, Lemo Elementary School. Probably three years ago, I went thereduring Spring Festival, it was too old and broken, yet it reminded me of myhappy pupil life. I seemed to see my classmates running after each other on theplayground and hear their merry voices.
Amongall elementary school classmates, Li Yan, Yanjun, Li Xiong are the closest tome. We four always play cards under winter sunshine during Spring Festival.Yanjun worked for Flextronics in Zhuhai, Li Yan had his own furniture business,Li Xiong worked as a software engineer. When we grew up, we had to rush for ourlives. Yanxia was no doubt the prettiest girl in the class, now she is a motherof two sons and had to work overtime every day. When I was in my fifth grade, Iliked teasing Miaofeng’s little sister and she protected her like a hen. I didn’tknow where she was, but surely she became a mother now.
Injunior high school, I had fooled around for two years and then studied hard fora year. I didn’t want to be a farmer under burning sun and had to study reallyhard. I even used flashlight to read in my quilt at night and the period was nodoubt the most diligent time in my life. Yuan was no doubt the prettiest andsmartest girl in the class. I had never gained a higher mark than her and shewas also dream lover of Cai. Cai was my deskmate and also the smartest guy inthe class. He always lent me extra-curricular books to read and I found it wasa trick later for he didn’t want me to gain a higher mark than him. Now I heardthat he was in the US, but Yuan didn’t become his girlfriend. Yuan gained a PHDand got married recently. I didn’t find her attractive as before for I changed.
Insenior high school, there were only two beauties, one was YS and the other wasLH. LH got married and had a son, the charm of her youth was nearly gone. YSlived in Japan and was still as pretty as before. Maybe for someone, life was akiller, someone a sharper. What’s more, LZX was a super scholar, nothing else.
Incollege, there were ten girls in total of my class, none of them was veryattractive. Probably wisdom and beauty can’t exist at the same time in onegirl. Guys weren’t as pure as before, I hung around with JX most of the time,who was a rough diamond. Though he seemed rude, he was an honest guy. He couldvisit prostitutes in college, but I thought it was his private life and wasn’tdisturbed at all.
Aboutmy three roommates, Fatso became a teacher of middle school and was frustratedthat his students could earn much more than he did. Slim-jim became an engineerfor he was good at abstract theory. Jiang was from Xinjiang and I didn’t knowwhere he was now.
Thougheach had his own way, generally speaking, all has the same way. Working as anemployee, getting married, having children were things all of us did. I didn’texpect a classmate reunion, instead, I thought, let bygones be bygones.
Yesterday,I checked the website of my junior high school, I found the info of my Chineseteacher Ms Chung. She still listed my achievement of composition contest as herpride and I was moved by that. Among all my teachers from elementary school tocollege, I love Ms Chung and Ms Zou most. Ms Chung is my Chinese teacher ofjunior high school and Ms Zoe is my English teacher of senior high school.
Ialso checked the so-called excellent alumni and found nearly most of them werebased on education background. Maybe I should struggle hard to get a littlereal achievement so that my two teachers could be proud of me.
Backto reality again, learn English to native level, network to architect level,business to MBA level, HLP to Mao level, nothing else. I should compete withmyself.
Thanksto ZTE guys, they said they were willing to wait for me until November, but I’vealready promised my boss I would stay.
