Counting the days ,I’ve been exactly right in this new company for two months . I had said to myself ,also to others that I would never come back to this city again .However ,after something really tough happened to me ,I am back here ,back to Dongguan city again .I want to say thank you to my friend ,this is the best thing he did for me .He is the one always helps me and asks for nothing in return .Compared to the difficulty 2 years ago ,things were harder for me ,and I almost gave up myself .It was him who cheered me up ,and introduced me a new job .And 2 months past ,even though I am still not good at the work at present , I totally love it ,enjoy it ,and I would like to devote all my life into it . I am the only foreign trade sales person in charge of alibaba.com ,a popular cross-border e-commerce platform founded by Jack Ma .Finally ,I am not only a consumer purchasing goods on it ,I am also a supplier showing and selling products on it , At the beginning ,I need to display all our products and makes it looks like a real shop .Then ,I must learn how to design the minisite ,I had to admit that I did not do well in designing ,or rather ,I have no sense of picture processing or webpage making .As you could imagine how odd the webpage would be . No sense of aesthetic except comply with online shop rules, the platform seems meaningless. Later ,with more and more types of products displayed on the minisite ,I was more proficient to handle the site .There are at least several visitors everyday in the end .This is a process of personal growth and experience acquisition ,for me it is really precious . I am also the only woman in marketing department , I guess that’s why I feel happy in everyday’s work .Of course ,that is a far-fetched reason .Now ,I summarize the following reasons : First of all ,this is the first time I worked in a sales job .I had a prejudice against sales work before ,even though my elder brother has already achieved in this field ,I am still not interested in it .In my opinion ,sales is like a scram ,as long as you can say any fine rhetoric ,you will be easily make an achievement .Not until I become one of them and have to deal with every single thing myself ,I got to know that is not a piece of cake .There one must acquaint the product knowledge as well as the applications of each product .The market competition is getting more and more intense nowadays ,and salesman also becomes more and more like a technical expert .Curious about the products and their main functions, I don’t feel like to leave work every day . Secondly ,I don’t know what will happened to me everyday !Without repetitive work ,everyday is new to me .I have been followed up a client from Belarus for days .He finally asked me to send him some samples ,as the freight is costly ,I asked him to pay for that .He did that ,and all prepared .However ,ways of delivery are not easy .I have to send to Urumqi city and transfer there .I am afraid that he’ll doubt the authenticity and won’t believe me ,after all we are far away ,who can guarantee the money safety ?I sent him the tracking number which was only valid in China ,and said that I knew he doesn’t understand Chinese even a little bit ,and this just for his reference .He said ,I trust you ,and don’t worry ,tell me when you ready !I was so touched at that moment .All I had done was not in vain . Holding on ,maybe next second you will get a big surprise ! Last but not least ,I become what I want to be .From pessimism to optimism ,it is not a easy thing .But I think it will be the same awe-inspiring wonder as the metamorphosis of butterflies someday !Like I once said it is just starting ,not over .But yeah ,it will start over !

I suddenly realize that it is time to say goodbye after so many sleepless night ,just like the first time I got the news that I can work abroad .The difference is that it is provisional to leave homelands ,but leave this country for good . Time back to that day when I came to Baiyun airport waiting for the international airplane to Phnom Penh, Cambodia .I was full of excitement at the thought of walking into a totally new world .For many people ,this country seems to be extremely poor and backward .However ,it is highly appropriate for a girl who wants to travel around the world some day but lack of money temporarily .Moreover ,I was just a newbie at that time .Cambodia is a good beginning which means I was on the way from then on and never have an ending . I have been working here for one and half year, gain some , lose some , like a zero-sum game .When the feeling of freshness wear off ,the passion of exploring unknown world arose .The time has come for me to move on another environment. During this time, I got my driving license ,I had traveled to Vietnam, Angkor, Sihanoukville, and Thailand with my colleagues .Never had I dreamt of those, my dream ,my goals come true so easily and quickly . With the rapidly increase of private cars, driving license becomes more and more important at present in China ,no matter you own a car or not .This license plays a critical role in finding jobs ,same as other certificates for instance diploma of university ,certificates of HR, accounting, English and so on . In some cities this is not a special skill but normal one. “You can either travel or read, but either your body or soul must be on the way.” Perhaps those are the only two things I have insisted on. Traveling is the initial purpose to be here. Therefore I had seized each possible opportunity to go out. “Books are the stepping stones to human progress.” Wherever I am, here are always some books at my bedside .Both traveling and reading enrich my leisure time and broaden my sight. In the meantime what I lost seems even more, I have to take much time to make up in the future. I had been back to hometown twice during working period. To my surprise, I had been away this city only one year; the city has changed a lot. High buildings spring up like mushrooms. The routes of bus changed a lot accordingly, thus easily get lost accidently. When I am abroad, what I know about China is partial and fragmental, but the variation of details are the one in close attached with personal life .There is a little example: one of my colleague who has not returned home for so long went shopping for the Spring festival with her daughter in a supermarket, she saw a round golden things and was ready to buy that one .Her daughter stood by her and looked at her in curiosity, finally she could not help herself bursting into laughter. “Are you sure you want this, mom? This is bread, and super yucky!” While I was busy with my work, my mother’s phone call came in. She was so angry because I could do nothing to help her out the problem. She had already resigned, but the boss withheld her wages and did not let her go. My mom was so impatient whatever I said .About one minutes later, she suddenly hang up, left me endless guilt and remorse. I was major in human resource in college, why can’t I apply my professional knowledge to deal with her troubles. It took a long time until she finally forgave me. One day when I phoned my father as usual, I found that his voice was so hoarse; I realized that there must be something bad happened to him or to my mom. It was a long 3 minutes he broken the silence “Your mom was ill and she came to the hospital by herself yesterday .I got to knew this after her operation .She did not tell anybody before .But don’t worry ,she felt better now.” I fell into a trance but had no choice, only a few words of consolation. The master said “When your parents alive, do not travel far.” So when can I learn to balance the family ties and work or my dream? Last but not least, I still want to appreciate my company, after all I cannot have cake and eat it!

I had thought that I was not a person of nostalgia, at least before I came here .Then I realized that as long as you do not leave your country you will never know what is homesickness. The first month was full of curiosity, Everything was new ,the people ,the language ,the goods ……all you wanted to do was to be familiar with everything around in a short time .Once you got to know all around very well ,you would found that there is nothing new at all ,everyday just repeat and repeat .Suddenly ,you become tired of the work ,of the life. What is worse, when you are aware of that there is none to share with your sorrow and happiness ,the desire for back home will be stronger and stronger .That is what I am facing now. There is a poem written by Xi Murong which is in relation to the thoughts of home .As a student, the poem is merely a poem, with nothing special , even do not know what the meaning of it .However when I read it once again ,the tears course down my cheeks . The song is a native flute, quiet and remote Always sounded the night the moon The face of home is a vague wistful Waving goodbye as if the fog After parting Homesickness is a tree without rings Never to grow old Even though Chinese Lunar New Year is drawing near ,there are few visitors .Those two photos are both from the Lucky supermarket here ,it is decorated according to the Chinese style as you may see the letters on the lantern .The red envelop and red clothes remind me that the new year comes indeed .But we were still working on that day ,which made me really upset .East or west ,home is the best !While there is no me this year ,how I miss you all !

Is anyone interested in detective stories or fond of deduction inference? If yes ,you must not miss those two TV shows :Sherlock and Elementary which are based on Adventure of Sherlock Holmes .I have not have a chance to read a complete version of this novel, I watched Elementary by a chance ,and it suddenly triggered my interests and becomes the primary driver of the journey to read the book .Absolutely ,compared with the original work ,TV show changes a lot ,however it is much more vivid .You will easily feel the intense of vision and hearing .After watching Elementary ,I think it is not satisfied my desire to know more about deductive .Then I turned to Sherlock on BBC. Follow on I found two different styles of Sherlock. The following is my personal point of view.BBC version of Sherlock is played by Benedict Cumberbatch, while Jonny Lee Miller acts as the version of CBS’s Sherlock. By appearance, I bet most of people like Benedict more .Neither from the height nor the appearance, Benedict similar to the original one from inside out .However I prefer to the version of CBS. First of all, the Sherlock of CBS advantage in standing for the modern style. Live in the new century, I would like to see a modern Sherlock with the same intelligence .In CBS, Mr. Holmes is an addict recovering from drugs. John Watson is not a man who had experienced “Vietnam War” but a sober companion who gives up initial job as a doctor due to a medical accident. Absolutely, what is more surprise is the gender transformation. With the plot moving, I always thinking the same question, will they fall in love with each other? Lucy Liu is a Chinese American actress, as a Chinese I like the woman with oriental temperament more. Thus Sherlock is not just a sage stands high above the masses any more, he also knows the affection of human beings .With respect to Professor Moriarty, who could have predicted that he and Irene is the same person? This unexpected design, not only takes Sherlock by surprise, but also me. I like reasoning the plot, however I have never doubted Irene .Irene Adler is a sexy and good at painting woman.Each episode of the TV shows in CBS has a fixed pattern, that is new criminal events ---finding the wrong criminal ---looking back to the case (Watson provides the inspiration )----solving the case successfully .Sometimes you may deduct who is the mastermind .But you cannot imagine what will happen next in BBC. Watson is the punch line makes the case gradually clear in CBS.When Mr. Holmes found that Watson is writing an autobiography for him by chance, he fell into rage in CBS, he doesn’t like fame. While the Sherlock in BBC enjoys basking in the limelight very much, without doubt that they are true to the original work.When there is a clue of the case or he feels restless, Sherlock would play the beloved violin in BBC. However in CBS, Sherlock is fond of beekeeping and raising turtle and his violin was almost covered with dust. Nevertheless both of the behaviors are useful for the case. There are lots of similarities and differences between the two types of Sherlock; I cannot enumerate one by one. Which one do you like more? But in my opinion, as long as you like deductive stories, you would not find fault with the character itself. The special expression only belongs to him.

I have not thought that one day I can work abroad within such a short time .After three weeks training ,I passed the test .Then it was time for leave .On 26th September, when all the Chinese people enjoy their Mid-Autumn Festival holiday ,I took the plane to Cambodia alone .The airplane was late for no reason , thus I arrived the Phnom Penh airport around 3:30pm(Beijing Time).Not until I went through the Customs did I realize that I was in different countries. My colleague said something to me in Chinese ,and I thought she spoke in Szechwan Dialect ! “What !Are you kidding me ,I am from Hunan province ,how can I speak your dialect?” .Suddenly ,I felt that I could not understand any languages .She waited there for so long ,the sunshine was too strong at that time ,her skin almost burnt even stayed in the waiting room. It did scared me ,as my skin has become tan already .It took about 1hour from the airport to our company .The sceneries out of the window are really ugly .Garbage ,waste water ,and the dusty road made me sick .This is the capital city ,but the environment is far less than our countryside .However ,I should get used to there rather than complain about this ,because this is my choice .Now ,although I still can not bear the surroundings ,I appreciate my perseverance so that I can meet some good friends .When I first come to the office ,I worried so much ,everything was new to me ,and the majority of them are talking in Cantonese .I felt misanthropic and wanted to keep away from them. After being familiar with them ,I know that we have much in common as we are of the same age .Helping each other makes work easier .I have never experience the benefit of cooperating with others .I used to work alone ,eat alone ……everything if I can do by myself ,I will never ask others for help .Now ,I am aware of the mis-conceptions .The longer I stay with them ,the more I feel myself .Oh ,this is the real me !Thanks to all of you ,my friends !

How many component do you think constitute a modern city ?For instance, the people ,the vehicles ,the buildings ,and the plants and so forth .As far as I am concerned ,of all the basic elements the most important element is human beings .What if there is no people ,obviously there is no vitality .The whole city is a deserted city or ghost city . Dongguan which is well known as “the world factory ”.You can see factories everywhere ,even in the center area .However you may also be shocked by the old and shabby industrial park. There is nothing into it expect some rampant rats after the company closed down. Due to enormous fees of reconstruction, most of the plants were abandoned , empty at last . As for the public transportation ,only bus and high-speed railway ,no subway .Whereas you may feel a pity that there is also no fixed station for the bus .You can ask the driver stop anywhere along the way as long as you want .That sounds good ,right ?No ,always I would be confused by the rules of taking bus ,I don’t know where to wait the bus.Besides ,the fare are various from bus to bus ,except some of the city bus .Even though I have been stayed there for one month ,the regular pattern still baffled me . From the point of Mallow's hierarchy of needs theory, security is the top demand factor after physical needs. No one would like to live with all kinds of threats. Nevertheless this city brings me lots of sense of insecurity. Personally experienced swindle, the policemen failing to do its job. Seeing one strong man being robbed in the morning…….Is that the reason why plenty of people leave Dongguan ? One day my friend asked me suddenly, “ Do you think will Dongguan become a hole city ?””Hmmm, that is a question .I have never thought about this. But I hope not . And I think everything will be ok in future .As you can see ,many new buildings are springing up .” “Oh, ok ,let’s bet .”Even though I don’t like this city at all ,I still prefer to give with hope ,fill my heart with desire .

Have you ever try all day without mobile phone keep you company ,or just imagine if there is no cellphone with you one day ?What will bring to your life ,good or bad ?Well I had made the attempt the other day .And I thought it could not be worse at that time ,however when I looked back at the experience for a second time ,everything was well worth the try . I was going to go to a place I had never been to before ,I had made full preparation for the routes of travel and carefully taken down .When I decided to start off , I knocked down the notebook ,put down the phone ,only brought some changes with me . First I must found out the subway showing in my memory ,but where it is ,how can I go to there ,I really had no clue .I had to ask the pedestrians for help . Passers A around twenty -something ,wearing a pair of headset ,simply stared at his phone .And I screwed up my courage and about to asked him ,he just passed by without taking a glance at me .Alright ,he probably did not hear .Then passers B still a young man walked at a fast pace and his phone in his hand .I thought I would not be reject this time ,then I went up him ,he acted like seeing a patient , quickly made a detour in order to avoid contacting me directly .I felt deeply upset .I lingered about the road ,dared not to enquiry initiatively again. But the time was short ,I mustn’t waste time now .I saw an old woman wheeling a bassinet coming to me in the opposite direction .After I told her my trouble ,she told me warmly .Worrying that I would made a mistake ,she company with me a long distance ,on seeing me enter the subway ,she finally left .How touched I am ! On the subway, the situation was somehow alike .Yes ,it was quiet ,cause everyone stared at their phone,busy playing games ,watching TV or listening to music. Nowadays you can find free wifi on subway ,as well as many public places. The network becomes more and more advanced ,however people are getting more and more indifferent .So what should I do next? Only to sit reticently and watch the advertisement . Added up all the social network, I have at least 300 friends online .Everyday I will spend plenty of my time on chatting with them .Every night when I go to bed ready to sleep ,I will turn my cellphone, and check if I had missed an important message .Every morning the first thing I do is turn on my phone .I will scan what happened to my so-called friends, where did they go .I don’t need to read newspapers on purpose ,they will tell me ,perhaps more comprehensive than it original ,usually there are some unique personal opinions . And that night I promise to myself no phone , suddenly I felt that I had lost something .Almost made me sleepless. We can control the technology ,however we are willing to be enslave by it .We want to tell others that we are live a good life by putting our photos on the internet ,no matter whether they look at those or not .we make the flowery rhetorical ,we boasting the truth, merely hope get the flattery from others ,it seems that our life is so spending ,while we are being marginalized by the smart /high-tech phone. Even though there are many people listening to your stories,but they actually do not know you authentically . You do not need to tell others what you have done, the true things at present make you feel happy enough, when you keep you head down , you don’t know you may just miss the opportunity . As the video"look up "shows at last : So don’t give into a life where you follow the type , give people your love .Don’t give them you “like”, disconnect from the need to be heard and defined .Go out into the world ,leave distracts behind .Look up from your phone ,shut down the display ,live life the real way.

When the first little ray of light waked me up, I knew it was a sweltering day again .However such an abominable weather still cannot change my decision ----go hiking. With one apple, a packet of biscuits, sun umbrella (God! I forgot the most important one –water!), I started off. It was already 10 o’clock when I arrived at the foot of the mountain .I did not feel like taking the bus as my purpose was taking exercise. There were very few people, it was not strange because the weather was really hot that day and none of us wanted to catch a heatstroke, we would like to stay at home rather than under the hot sun .Nevertheless, I took back my words immediately I went around a corner, there a large crowd in front of me, made the narrow step narrower. The old, the child, the young, some alone, some partnered with others laughing happily. It was a steep climb, I had to struggle to move on. The speed and the status (alone) provided me a chance to observe how others behaved. There were two kinds of cases: one was that some walked slowly taking photos or speaking up freely, laugh and joke, if they were not alone . while the other walked quite fast though breathing heavily almost panting ,I guessed they maybe in the hope of arriving the top of the mountain as soon as possible . Then there comes to the question :Do you prefer to visit straightforwardly to the destination (the top of mountain ),or enjoy the scenery along the way while on your vacation ? Different people have different ideas .The destination is like the pursuit of life goals .Some would like to work hard ,hour after hour ,day after day ,just to achieve their so-called goals and enjoy the last moment of triumph .However ,some treat it as their life ,they admire every little progress they make ,they believe life is like a journey ,it is not the destination ,but the sight-seeing along the way that important . And I prefer to take my time and enjoy the scenery along the way .First of all ,,there can be some surprisingly beautiful sights on the way ,and I don’t want to miss them easily .They can be ever better than the destination .In addition ,climbing itself is a way of relaxation instead of a job, it can be a good way to give me a break from tedious daily work ,so why I am silly to rush myself .Otherwise I may already feel tired when I get to the mountaintop .I’d like to relax from the moment I set out . So ,to me ,it was really a meaningful day ,though my clothes were soaked with sweat ,my leg is still very sore after several days .However ,because of the pain ,the day –the Dragon Boat Festival left a deep impression on me .There goes a saying: I can't keep your waves, let me keep your footprints in my heart .Try to be in less of hurry ,just for the great things along the way . the start of the long waystand high and see farthe bridge connects between Shenzhen and HK.

“My mother wanted to introduce a boyfriend to me again!" ”The message bounced out immediately I logged on the QQ. It’s my classmate, my close friend in senior high school. “Good news, congratulations!" ”I replied with a crooked smile. “Stop saying that, otherwise I won’t talk to you anymore".”It seems that she was angry with me indeed. “"Why, tell me how come to that?"”I stopped joking with her, anything that would destroy our relationship, I won't let it happen. “You know what I am thinking about, we had talked about the topic so many times ,I don’t wanna get married ,at least at present .”Of course I am clear about what has in her mind, she is independent as me ,though not exactly the same . “Oh, darling, it is different now ,after all we are not young any longer .” “Not young ?Ah, dear don’t tell me that you want to get hitched !” “No ,I am not saying myself ,we are talking about you ,your life Concerning myself,. I will stick to my own principal, my dream.” “Me? OK !So do you think that I need to change my conditions ?” “Correct ,as you had told me that you feel lonely tired and hopeless sometimes , you desperately wish there is a person to keep you company .” “Yes ,but that just “sometimes “,I don’t think I am ready to tie the knot .And I deeply frightened at the thought of living with the same man through the latter part of my life .I have no patience, I don't like children ,and when my mom told me that ,I got really mad at her ,why are they so hurry like I am unmarriageable forever .I am only 24. ”Yes, both of us are twentysomething .She is a little sentimental at times. “Think on the position of your parents ,they merely hope their children lead a happy life, they are not at fault. Every step we take might get their nerves ,although they excessively worry about us ,they did love us.” Though I said that in a calm and assured voice, I would get annoyed too if I met the same situation .Each time I give them a phone call, they will insinuated to me that I should find a spouse .They would tell me who has gotten married, who has pregnant of my own age,I was often silent in this case . “Whatever ,I enjoy my current status .”In fact ,we all understand that saying “But parents are parents .” “As far as I can see ,you can pretend to accept their proposal ,even though you are not satisfied with them, do not let them down at first .Then after a period of time ,you can look for a “reasonable” excuse to decline their kindness. For example ,you could say the guy is not a cup of my tea ,we even have nothing in common .”Actually ,this is also my special way of dealing with the same question . “Humm ,sounds a good idea ,I will have a try .”Then no words come in, maybe she fell asleep since no trouble troubled her .But I lost sleep… Nowadays ,the rate of non-marriage is growing rapidly with more male than female .However with the improvement of women’s synthetic capabilities ,women becoming more financially independent ,thus more of them pursue a single life .Then people said that a woman with a doctor’s degree is the third kinds of people ,which different from men and women, because of their extraordinary ability .Here is a example :my economics teacher, who is already in her forties and has not get married yet, always warned us girls that we should not think about depending on others especially on a man ,we are not inferior to anybody else .Once we are strong enough ,we can protect ourselves instead of being despised and tortured .No one can help you unconditional except yourself，so make up your own mind .She is the epitome of beauty and wisdom and considered to be the best role model for all of us girls .It is likely that I was heavily influenced by her ,from then on the transitional view of love and marriage has changed in my mind .And I gradually accustomed to living alone without fear ,without loneliness. Is it possible that I become the member of "3s lady"?

It was a nice day ,not because of the weather ,but the exciting experience we have had . After carefully planning last night ,we set out from the bus station at 9:30 this morning .We got up so early ,in order to avoid burnout ,both of us took a nap on the bus .Around 45 minutes later ,when I opened my eyes ,I saw a lot of new but traditional buildings .You could not see the rubbish anywhere ,and I suppose that you would be shocked by the clean streets. Unfortunately , we were still a little late ,the tickets just sold out .So we had to change there for other bus .After the second bus transfer ,we finally arrived at the Tai’an ancient town .We passed through the town directly and began to climb the mountains .It was a piece of cake for me at first .I had climbed many mountains with friends or on my own before .Walking in the crowed ,I felt at ease and fun .And I told this to my friend ,my friend smiled to me and said ,”You will regret what you had said soon ,I bet !”I pretended not to care this , and headed on .It took only a few minutes ,I had to eat my words. So what does the roads look like ?This is a narrow mountain path ,the ground is wet with the cold rushing stream flowing under the one-way bridge .Every step must be extremely careful .Oh ,my feet ,they were still in the high-heeled shoes ,I was so sorry to them ,I was not on purpose . However ,joy is always greater than sorrow ,when we passed through a group of people, and then more and more ,I had a strong feeling of success . I am always eager to explore new territories, obviously this is a totally new world to me .We were anxious to reach to the top of mountain and forgot to eat .Time was limited , there was no time to waste. As we estimated that we could not return to the bus station on time ,so we decided to take the Baiyun Cableway .Ah ,It was very hot just now ,but when we took a seat ,we had to put on the clothes we just took off .It felt good to gaze down on the valley .The trees are sprouting .20 or more minutes later ,we arrived at the other sight spot ,and started to go downhill. We picked up speed as there was only one hour left . ”Don’t say there is no difficult down for the mountains, and it turns out to be a damp squib. When you enter into the circles of mountains , it is not as easy as you imagine.”(1) And now I deeply realized the meaning of this poetry. To sum up today’s experience ,we almost used all means of transportation: bus ,car ,bike ,boat ….how interesting ! The back hills of mount Qingcheng is located in the Taian village,70killometers away from Chengdu, a total area of about 100 square kilometers. There are many popular attractions ,for instance ,Tai’an temple, Baiyun temple ,Zushi cave ,Wanfu cave ,Cuiying lake and so on .It takes around 6hours by foot and is more likely prepared for the explores. But you can find many kids and the old all the same .So if you like climbing ,don’t hesitate . (1) This is a poetry by Wanli Yang .Which is “莫言下岭便无难，赚得行人空喜欢。正入万山圈子里，一山放过一山拦。”Forgive my Chinglish translation . the route of journey -----I think there is a mistake on the card . Baiyun Cableway only this one left,oh the smile is so ~~~~
