a song named "Dad, I come back"

There is a popular song name "Dad, I come back" in China, and this song was sang by a famous Chinese male singer who named Jay Zhou. He is the most popular singer in China. However, his parents divorced when he was young, and he was brought up by his mother. In this song, expressing the strong feeling about that he is longing for a complete family and Jay Zhou hopes he would be loved by his parents.

For me, I don't have much feeling from my own life, but I think it is a bad appearance in modern society. There are many people get divorced and many children are lack of love from their family. This social event makes youngers have more and more problems on morality and behaviors. In my own opinion, adults need to be more responsibe for a family and their marriage.

Those above are very important that yongers can have healthier and better life. I can feel much love and heed from my family. I think about many wretched people in divorced family and I also feel haapy since I have a good family.

Movie name Keep Moving Forward

I saw a movie named Keep Moving Forward from Disneyland. There are no real person in the movie since it is a cartoon movie. The movie talks about a child who had many good ideas. but he was givin to the other people to bring up. He never saw his mother before, then he wanted to invente a machine which could see the before and search the things are forgot in the memory.
He invented the machine successfully and make a bright future. Someone came from future wantted to steal his idea and made himself successful. This bad guy lied to this child through promising that he could take the child to see his mother. The child's son who also came from future wantted to stop this happen since he knew future would be changed. They experienced many difficulty to stopped it. Finally, the child had the chance to see his mother, but he gave it up since he had already found his family in the future. The child did't go to the future; he stayed in modern society and worked hard.

I felt I need look forward and do not memorize the bad things in the past. The past is past, I must look forward and keep moving forward. I can not change the past, but I can create my own future.

1 0 years old

9 years ago, there was the exam which was used to make a competition about entering good middle school. When I was 10 years old, I needed to study hard since this competition. At that time, I went to school at 6 o'clock in the morning and I went back home at 6 in the evening. All I did at school was studying. I didn't feel good when I was 10 years old in the school. Finally, I entered the best middle school in my hometown through my hard work.

Otherwise, at that time, I liked to play basketball with my friends. I did play it well in my childhood, but I had little time to play it after I was 10 years old. Due to the hard study, I played few times in a year. It was my hobby. Nowadays, basketball is still my favorate sport and important staff in my life.

Everyone thinks computer is interesting and helpful. For me, when I was 10 years old, I often used computer. I could use computer do my homework and search the information which I needed. However, it also was my tool for playing game. It took a lot of fun into my childhood.

When I was 10 years old, it was not only funny, but also bored sometimes.

Chicago Trip

I went to Chicago in last thanksgiving break. It was the first time I planned to travel a city which I had never been. I needed to make the schedule about the whole trip by myself. It was so excited. Before the trip, I bought the ticket in Greyhound station and it was cheap. I chose travel there by bus since the bus ticket was much cheaper than the air ticket and Chicago is near Iowa City. I had checked and memorized the map of Chicago when I still had class before thanksgiving break. I have found all rotes which could get the place I needed go and I wrote them on the paper with the wallet. However, I still didn’t know many places I wanted go when I was in Chicago, but it didn’t affect my Chicago trip.

In the trip, I went to many stores, museum and art institute. I understood much knowledge from the museum and art institute through this trip. On the other hand, there were many stores and I could buy anything I want there. I arrived the Michigan Avenue which was the best shopping place in Chicago. I bought a lot of goods and really had fun.

I did not only visit these places, but also visited the China Town in Chicago. It is really big and I stopped by there many times in the trip. There were many kinds of Chinese food which I could not eat in Iowa City. There were delicious and attractive for a Chinese student liked me.

I was so happy to get Chicago, even though there were only few days. It was so nice what I could make a plan of the trip by myself.

My grandma

In my family, there are many people, but only my father, my mother and me lived together in a house. Here I don’t want to introduce one of them. In this blog, I will introduce my grandma who was my father’s mother and she died when I was 9 years old.

Before I was 9 years old, I lived with my grandma and grandpa, since my parents were very busy on their work. My grandma sent me to the school and picked me up after school every day, no matter these was rainy or windy. She felt I’m very special for her, because I’m her grandson and the only one. In that time I didn’t understand that feeling, I might be too young. I never told her my real feeling before she died. It’s the pity in my entire life.

When I lived with my grandma, she usually taught me many things and what I needed to correct. I didn’t hear her edification and still did something wrong. I was so spoiled, but my grandma carried on telling me and educating me. I did what she said no and did it after she told me before, sometimes she told to my parents about my fault and made my parents angry on me. I had to correct, but I blamed her. I didn’t want she told my parents the bad things about me. I was afraid of them. I understand she was thinking how I can do the best and be the best person, but now she cannot know what I think.

My grandma got cancer after I was 8 years ago. It was just half year from I knew she got cancer to her dead. I didn’t accept all of there were truth. In that period, I understood many things. I knew I didn’t treasure her love, for this love I did many bad things and I was too spoiled. After my grandma died, I felt very sad and I never felt my emotion fell down liked that until now. I stopped going to school for a while. I became treasure the emotions and feelings with families. I’m not spoiled any more.

My grandma taught me so much, but I understood that a little later. I never told her I love her and I want to tell her through this blog. Wherever she is, I just hope she can know what I feel like a t this time.
