I learned calligraphy last month. In the beginning l have to practice hundreds horizontal stroke, because I must know how to use my wrist with brush to present a right character"一". I had only practiced the horizontal stroke again and again two weeks. I really felt a little bit discouraged, so I said to myself:" It doesn't matter. You just are a beginner. Be patient for you." I passed the horizontal stroke after two weeks. I started practice more Chinese characters. One day my calligraphy's teacher (a elderly man)told me:"Thank you for your trust, many people think that it is boring of wrist training.So they can not get a faster progress.Chinese calligraphy need a large amount of patientce."

I like to write postcard or letter for my friends. I hope to express my emotion about my friends by the word. Words make encouraging us. I had written a postcard for a friend. She cried when she got it. She told me that she hasn't received the word from another people for thankfulness. Since that day, I'm conscious that is important got encouraged for people. When I receive the feed back from my friends l'm happy also.😄

I often cook apple oatmeal recently. It taste better if you put some milk in it. My family love it. My husband do not like oatmeal, but he loves the one that I cook.

I admire Tasha Tudor who was a artist of life. She was born in 1915 in Boston the United States. She has a kind of beauty that are peaceful, tander, alive and cleanly. She gots divorced and bring up her kids alone. She later built a stone house. The house has a big garden. She was planted many kind of flowers. When she was known by many people that she has become a old woman.No matter where, she always showed steady. I get a truth from her. A truly beauty won't disappear with the time went by, it only increases.I hope to become a beautiful woman like her when I was old.

I love touse and Chinese tea in the morning. I like to drink Lung Ching Ch'a(龙井) or Dian Hong Ch's（滇红）. Lung Ching Ch'a has a little bit scent of chestnut. Dian Hong Ch'a has a light scent of rose. It is amazing! I also love to eat boiled in beef clean soup, baked drumstick and Shaohsing wine mix chricken. I can make other foods except boiled in beef clean soup. So I could only eat it in the restaurant.

It is sunny and warm today. I especially like warm weather. I had a lot free time because my kids went out with their friends. I went to the restaurant alone. As a young mother I particularly need alone. This is a good thing today.

Today is warm and cloudy and windy.Someone wear merely T-shirt or shirt.Many trees haven't lost leaves. They will lose all of leaves of some kinds trees when spring coming.

My hometown is rainy and cold in the winter.There was not heater in the South China. It was a struggle for me to get up every morning.The furthest distance in the world,is not between life and death,but the between bedroom and washroom.

There is a general social in China. Old generations like to ask to younger some questions. For example:"How much your salary a month?""Why don't you get married?""Do you have a own house/car/kid?"Even you don't know each other. Sometimes I can refused reply the questions,sometimes I can't. It is look like as a game for me. I must very carefully to defanse the old guys. I love to see a surprisely expression, when I reply:"Why did you want to know that?"or"It's none of your business." Sometimes someone look like very nice, 不像会冒犯你隐私的人，但没想到“人不可貌相”，最狠的“问候”还是会降临在你身上. 让我防不胜防，我还是会像对待父母一样，老老实实告诉他们：我买没买房，我结没结婚，我有没有车……I hate myself！唉，谁让我生在尊敬老人的文化里呢！？😓
