Ai.... Thank you you all. If possible, I would like to share my life in US more. I am not trying to show off but..... just suddenly think of the past.
Except for the life I mentioned in US, Actually, there is something more.
Actually, before I went to US, I worked and saved some money. Then I told my parents that "Hey, I can go study in US." I guess that I can get blessing from my parents, but what they said (first word) was that "no, don't go.” If you are gone, who would earn more to support us. We don't have money. Lucky that I have "my way" to get visa without their approval. Finally, I could get it. One week before I went to US, I "informed" them I decided to go. Still they did not agree but they just could not stop. They didn't support me, but very lucky that I could get scholarship from the first sem to the last sem.
In the last sem, I ran out of money for living fees. Therefore, I asked my parents to do mortgage with the flat first. After I came back, I would pay for it. What I needed was around USD 10000 only, but what they said was "No, if you don't have money, come back" because if we do mortgage, we have no where to live in (come on, I did not mean to sell it). They said that the house was for them to live till their dead, so they won't help. I was thinking ok. They needed it. It was understandable. I did not get mad. Fortunately, one uncle lent money to me. I could still finish it.
What I was very mad was that after that, when my brother got married and he did not have money to buy a flat, my parents gave the flat (transfer it to his name) to him without any charge. haha, what a "need to live until dead?" What a crap?
After few years, we had dinner as a family, and talked about me. My father said, "Actually, I did not think that he (me) could finish his degree in US." Ha Ha, finally I understood that it was the actual reason why they did not lend me any money!
I was so scared of not having enough money. Except working, I ate eggs and sausage as my breakfast, canned soup as my lunch, instant noodle as my dinner. When I felt that my body was weak, I started eating rice .... after I felt that my body became normal, I went back to eat soup..... noodle.... for 1.5 years.
Sorry all that I am not trying to show off or something, but with a 3.85 GPA for the first 3 years , I don't understand why my father did not trust that I could graduate. Now I can say my career has a little success. My parents asked me for more money. I live in the house with my brother which was transferred by my father to my brother but am charged money every month as rent. What my parents said was “Hey, don’t count so much. We are a family”
Because of what happened in the past (my parents) and what happened recently (my brothers and a girl I love….), I just suddenly think of few words for my life。
兄弟情﹕簿如紙。父母情﹕淡如水。兒女情﹕幻如夢。
