My mother said it’s not good to not go out, especially during the day time, because we need sunshine. I told her that we should find a destination at least. I searched online and discovered that the former residence of Li Shutong (Hong Yi) is close to us, and so we went there for the first time, even though were born and raised in Tianjin. Some quotes: 'At the brink of the sky, at the corners of the earth, my familiar friends wander in loneliness and far from home, One more ladle of wine to conclude the little happiness that remains; tonight my dreams of parting leave me cold.' A man who lived two lives in one lifetime. During the first half of his life he created Chinese drama and in the second half of his life he was a patriarch of the Vinaya school. Ordinary people like us can only look up to and worship the man who was a genius throughout his life.

It’s cloudy today. Since it was too cold outside, we stayed home and snuggled around my tiny space heater, reading stories for the most of the day. Obviously, Dad wasn’t in the mood to correct my math homework yet. Anyway, after dinner, I will ask MeeMaw to accompany me to the gym; it’s back in business. She doesn’t have to do anything. I will just let her sit there and watch. I just want to spend more time with her.

It's phrasal verb time! Every English learner hates phrasal verbs: there is no particular rule to learn when it comes to phrasal verbs, and no way for teachers to teach them either... unfortunately, the only way to learn phrasal a phrasal verb is just to memorise it. ❓What does this phrasal verb mean? To gang up on... [someone/ something] Example: 'All my friends agreed that I should study harder. I felt like they were ganging up on me'.

I have just returned from the seven-day Chinese New Year vacation. The Lunar New Year is the most important festival for every Chinese person. During the festival, We usually spend time with family and are surrounded by a variety of tasty food. It's the most relaxed time of a year. Whether you did everything well or not in the last year, the Lunar Year is a new beginning for everyone. All the world is decorated by red ornaments. All the ornaments have a snake on them, because this year is the year of snake. Red things reprsent good luck for the future in Chinese culture. I hope everyone around the world has a good luck in 2025. After this neiher too long nor too short vacation, we return our work and feel energetic. We have made many new years' resolutions during the vacation and will try our best to achieve them. Another good news is that spring is coming, too! A fantastic world with green trees, red blooming flowers and warm sunshine is ahead of us. Everything is thriviing at this time!

"Sarah had always dreamed of traveling to Paris, so when the opportunity came up to work there for six months, she didn’t hesitate. She packed her bags and left the next week. Upon arriving, she felt a bit nervous, but after meeting some local friends and learning more about the city, she quickly felt at home." .

The sun blazed brilliantly today. I corrected my math homework in the morning under my dad’s supervision. Then we took MeeMaw to the park. I gripped her arm as we shuffled along the winding paths. Lunch was a distraction - sushi rolls and one huge ice cream. We devoured every dish and licked spoons, but the air felt heavy. MeeMaw has been noticeably weakening. Deep down, I know when dad forces a smile. We’ve all been wearing masks lately, pretending not to notice grief pooling in every silence. It’s suffocating. I am gonna do something to change that.

2/4/2025 This New Year vacation felt like it passed in the blink of an eye. The weather was surprisingly good—so warm that it felt like summer, and I could even wear a T-shirt. I went to Kaohsiung Port to take photos of the huge Chiikawa floating on the water. After that, I headed to the southernmost part of Taiwan to enjoy some fresh and unbelievably cheap sashimi—20 slices for only 100 NT dollars! Later, I went up into the mountains in Chiayi to overlook a breathtaking sea of clouds. It was so stunning that I felt like I was in heaven. My four-day trip down south went smoothly without any accidents. But honestly, I feel like I spent most of the time in the car! I don’t think I’ll have another trip like this in the next three years.
