Memories--One of my high school classmates

Just a few days ago, I got an email from a college classmate in Shanghai, showing me a photo and asking me if I know one person in the photo. I recgonised the person who was my elementary and high school classmate 30-40 years ago in Shanghai. Now he is in charge of the Shanghai branch of Siemens (an german company). My college classmate works for my elementary classmate in a German company. What a change! However I am not suprised. He is always a very brilliant student in class. Back to the time of elementary school, it was still in Mao's era. We could hardly imagine 30 or 40 years in the future. I am sure that both of us would never dream about what we are doing today. Nobody ever thought about the current situation of China. China then and China now are just beyong imagination. Luckily, both of us live quite happily in different parts of the world. I am thinking of our other classmates. I wish them all well. I am anxiously waiting to know anything about them.

学生时代是最美好的回忆了.和同学在一起学习,一起打闹,一起成长,但是一切美好的事物都有终结的时候.毕业后大家都走上了自己所选择的人生道路.等到十年或是二十年以后,当大家再次聚到一起的时候,有些人身成名就,有些人得到了稳定,可以达小康的工作,有些人工作平凡却有了幸福美满的家庭,有些人像以前一样生活还是那样简单的生活,却也过的开心,有些人抱怨老天不公,觉得自己的什么都不好,有些人还未选定自己的发展方向......不管怎样,大家都已不是当年的小毛孩子了.大家都在人生的岔路口选择了属于自己的一条路,并且在路上努力的奔波着.虽然不知道路的尽头是什么,但是只要你开心,会不断的充实自己,那么我想你这条路就是对的.每个人的路都不一样,所以也没有必要去看人家的路走的有多好,我们只需要和自己的过去比较就好.其实,越简单的生活就越容易得到幸福.和同学在一起,重要的不是去比谁会过的更富有,重要的是要一起去重温那时美好的点点滴滴.

我个人觉得在美国这个国家,最轻松又体面的工作就是老师.

还有就是在美国你干其它工作, 很难有时间静下来思考.很难和家人在一起.无论是在四大会计所,还是在国际famous investment bank,你无非只是一个穿着西装的战士. 如果,你想在美国有个还算完美的家庭.如果,你是个顾家的男人.那么去当老师吧! 特别是中文老师!!
