Simple Love

          Rapidly growing up into an adult, I become easier to be homesick, especially in such a holiday, when the tide of students ebb almost in a moment and the whole street is peopled with crowd. I like traveling, but not traveling in the crowd. So in such days, I would rather stay in the fast-thinning throng of people. In a trance do I always sit at my desk, while the rain falls quietly outside and the radio jangles inside.
          A friend came around. We talked heart to heart, about our hometown, the old days and so on. My homesickness gradually ware off.
          Parents telephoned. With an air of intense satisfaction, I really felt their bright smile went round like a streak of sunshine. And now I have learned to cover up my emotion. When I am facing them, little is said of the hardships endured, the danger faced, or the homesickness conquered. After all, it is a happy daughter that I wanted to make them see. A Chinese saying says: “Tell others good news instead of bad ones. (Bao xi bu bao you.) They have borne so much for me and now I just want to release the burden on their shoulders, even a little. They have been busy for half of the life, and a quiet bay is what they need. It is me that they are willing to depend on, though now I am still supported by them. I feel it; I understand it. Older and older are they becoming; more and more childish are they; more and more easily can they be satisfied by children. That is why I try to earn some money from my work and buy presents for everyone of the family when I return home. They wish me happy, and vice versa. We are all home-loving. What they need is something simple but true. So do I.
         Today piles of gaudy short messages of the same form crowd the narrow space of my mobile phone. I am bored with them until message from one of my close friends is received. It just says: “I wish the day is just a normal day because I hope you, away from family, are happy as in other days instead of homesickness.” Maybe the friend in silence is one who understands you best and the simplest wishes are the sincerest and most touching ones. That is called “True love is silent (Da’ai wu yan)”. This is what I need, also what my parents want.
