one of my most precious things is a gift form my best friend in china. that is a glass bottle contained the mod from the feet of the Great Wall. he also covered the mod with a piece of chinese national flag. he gave me these right before i came to america. he said the reaosn why he gave me this was telling me i was a chinese, and always be.
maybe you can notice, i was using present tense to describe the whole thing, because i didnt really lose it, but at the same time i couldnt bring it to america. it is now sitting right on my cabinet in beijing. i do miss it, because it's not only representing my home country but also the friendship between us.
there are always something improtant for us, but the reason why they are important is not because of the value of them, but the meaning comes from them. once we lost those, the first thing we would do should be finding a substitution of that. for me, i just remember im always a chinese and always save a place for him in my heart.
