LOVE STORY

本文发表在 rolia.net 枫下论坛She was born in a middle class family in China. Her parents loved her very much, but they didn’t have time to take care of her. They were too busy with their own work and business. After she was 4 years old, she started to stay in the kindergarten all the time. She missed her parents, and she wanted to please them. She took all advices from her parents and teachers, followed all rules, and made all efforts to be a good child. In her little heart, making trouble to her parents was the last thing to do, she wanted her parents to focus their valuable time to their work and family life, and she wanted her parents to be happy! She made that! She was always such a good child.


After she grew up, she values self-discipline. She believes “self- discipline is the bridge between goals and accomplishments.” She is always a good student and a good employee later on. In her memory, there was only one big disagreement between her parents and her -- her marriage.


She felled in love with a young guy in college. He is handsome, he is smart, and he is tall. In fact, what attracted her most is his deep love to her. They had such a good time together, full of sweet memories. But when the graduation day came, both of them became silent: they would go back to their hometowns, which meant they would live in two different cities.


There were 400 miles between their cities. And the young man did not give up their love. He started to visit her city biweekly or monthly depending on his working schedule. To save both money and time, he chose the night train. He took the train at 10 pm on Friday night and arrived at her city at 6 am on Saturday morning. They spent the whole weekend together. They went to shopping, had dinner together, or went to all travel spots, just like all young people in love. On Sunday afternoon, 5 pm or 6 pm, he took another train back to his city. None of them remembered how many times they had stood together waiting for the train; the train station was the most familiar spot for both of them. They also called each other after 9 o’clock every night, because the longer distance call between cities was half-priced after 9 pm.


Two years past. Her mom said: “Well, he is really a nice guy. But stay with us, you can have a better future here.” That’s true. She had a good job and easy life in her city, and so did him. What to do?


One day, he called her, said: “Let’s go to Canada. We can live together and we all have a better future together!” Looking at him into his eyes, full of joy and excitement, she said “Yes!” They were still young at that time and they wanted challenges. And the most important thing was that they could get married and live together! After two more years, they landed on Person Airport, Toronto.


Like all immigrants, their lives were not easy. To support their lives and education, both of them took part-time jobs. She successfully completed a specialized honored bachelor degree, and he completed his master degree with excellent grades. After she graduated, she started to make small pay cheque to support their family. They always struggled to make ends meet especially after they paid back all their student loans. But they never regretted, in stead they always had hope for their lives. Finally, all the hard work paid off. On the seventh year after immigration, they had their own big,comfortable and cozy home, and they had a beautiful and healthy child together!


Well, love is not all about romance, diamond ring or fame; it is about responsibility, promise, self-discipline, and hard work. You made your word, and then keep it. And family, for most Chinese, is always a big house, with beloved ones living together, hand in hand, heart to heart and side by side forever! (家)
