A Dream Place
When I look at the map, most of the time, my eyes will keep on that peninsula. It is so small, that I'm sure, if without you, I will never pay any attention to such a small place. But you are there, and just because you are there, I will be gazing at that place each time I look at the map. I know that somewhere on that peninsula you are living, somewhere on that peninsula you are laughing; somewhere on that peninsula you are missing me. So when I look there, I am very happy.
Peninsula has different meanings for different people. For some, who are fishermen, it is a way of leading a life. For others, who are tourists, it is an attraction to have a holiday. For geographers, it is a problem that they have to make a research on. For some, it is just a place like any other place in the world. But for me, because of you, it is special. I know that on that little peninsula, you are laughing. So it seems that, the whole peninsula is laughing when I look at the map.
I will go to that peninsula some day. I'll set my feet on your land, breathe your air, feel your sea breeze, and look at your sky. I will go to the primary school you once were in. I'll touch the pillar you once touched at the school gate. I'll have a look at the painting on the second floor of your library, which you told me you love best. And I'll have a taste of the local food which you said is your favorite…… There are so many things that I want to do. But I'll never inform you of that. Never!
"The thing that is important is the thing that is not seen."—someone once said. And I want to say: "the thing that is most beautiful is the thing that is not seen." I would rather keep such good memories in my heart than to meet you. For I am not courageous enough to find that you can not speak Chinese fluently after leaving china for such a long time, even though you have written a great amount of letters to me in Chinese. I am afraid that we can not get a topic to talk with each other. And I'm sure that I can't bear the long silence between us, which will drive me into tears. I don't want you to see me cry. Two years ago, I succeed when we said goodbye to each other in china. But I'm not confident to make the same good control next time. So I give up meeting you.
I'll tell you that I get a nice dream a few days ago, but what's in the dream I'll not make you know. I believe you must be laughing when you are reading my letter. Then I'll look at the map, look at that peninsula where you are living, it seems that the whole peninsula is laughing. And I'll smile to it, to your peninsula, as I used to smile to you.
