“Oh yah they are. ” When talking about her children, her eyes were brightened, “They are absolutely two extremes, you know, One is so independent that everything has to be tidied up, no chaos at all .The other is in disorder utterly. ” She said smiling, “One is like my husband and the other is like me.

It was full of bad remember at that period of time. One of my aunts is sick of cancer, and another went to hospital for cardiopathy. I myself was confused about my future that if I should stay in Canada or came back to China, as well as my roommate fell out with me so that most of time I couldn’t stay in my own room. No relaxing, no goal even no power.

There is a half-length picture of Jesus closed to the door, in front of which is a table . I didn’t know that this small table is actually a altar for praying for a long time, since I haven’ t seen any one use that .
