A song in the early morning, the most touching, touching the deepest, bottom of the heart. In order to see you, not far away, across the ocean to see you.
The acquaintance is too accidental, online unintentionally encountered. The first thing I'd like to say is that I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to do that. A young, sunny, humorous person.
Every day to say hello, chat, talk about what happened around, everything is so natural. Not because it is on the network and seems to have a gap, funny, he always make me laugh. Now think about how we can synchronize with me when there is a time difference. One in the romantic capital of Paris, one in the coastal city of Xiamen.
Unexpectedly, will take the initiative to come to see me. This 10,000 miles apart, meet really is not an easy thing, and he also planned for a long time. And after I refused again and again, he secretly hid from me, he flew over alone. To be honest, he went to Paris since he was in junior high school, and he didn't come at all when he was in China.
Getting off the plane and calling me to say that he had arrived and asked me to pick him up. I smiled and said, no way. However, he pulled aside a staff member and told him to talk to me. The moment I went over to see him, I did see a handsome, sunny big boy.
Write here, really can not write, I do not know how to continue to express, touched? I don't know how to continue to express, touched? It seems neither, as if it is a special kind of feelings, and the first thing he did was to hug him.
And he stayed two days from the moment he got off the plane. The latter know that he is just these two days, and the planes chosen are at night, so as not to waste time.
For this big boy, not far from thousands of miles just to come to see himself. In retrospect, perhaps more is touched. And we can't possibly think of a novel as having a back story. Because we are clear that our worlds are not together.
Single song cycle, listening to it over and over again, will think of that big boy across the ocean. The one who traveled thousands of miles across the ocean to see me. Thank you, thank you for giving me more touches.
Prose 2
"In the wind and sand in the sky, looking at you far away, I was so sad that I couldn't help myself, and I was looking forward to sending you a thousand miles, until the mountains and the water are exhausted, and a lifetime of being with you."
Both the words and the song come from Lee, who previously said in Ghosts of a Lunatic that he has a very unique voice and singing style. Although he wasn't the original singer of this song, after listening to all the versions, it just seems that perhaps only the original author sang it more flavorfully.
Originally I did not think of this song, a friend told me that recently I heard this song in a single song cycle, and even wanted to talk about a long-distance relationship, to experience the feeling of seeing the love of my life across the ocean, in addition, she felt that this subject matter may remind me of a lot of stories. So I thought I'd enjoy the song some other day, and then write one as a gift to my friend. I didn't realize that I had just searched for the song and it was pulled, and I'm really kind of sad that I can't bring myself to do it at the moment.
First of all, let's talk about my story. 2009, I met a girl at a friend's party, and this acquaintance, even I didn't think it would continue for so long, and I didn't think it would leave such a great regret in my life. With the popular words on the Internet, meet you is the best thing in my life, just did not expect just meet you, spent all my luck.
In that youthful age, everyone will not express their own feelings, may also really do not know what they think inside, just simple good feeling, simply feel that this girl is very beautiful, I like, that's all. Blame me for not being good with words, and not being able to express my feelings, and also blame me for not understanding what that I love you means. Because at that time we are all in school, contact off and on, and she is two grades lower than me, the distance is even more distant.
Until the university, one day she told me that she hoped to be able to get into the same school as me, and then they will be able to always be together. Later, perhaps it is the creation of people, she got into another school, more than eight hours away from my trip, and only the train. Fate really likes to joke, one day she suddenly said to come over to see me, I was full of expectations. But she did not return the message, as if evaporated like, I only silently sent her a message: "feelings are not used to play, so play me interesting?"
In this way, about a year, one day she told me, in fact, that time the phone was dead, came back to see my message is very sad, so cut off my favorite long hair, do not want to contact me again. In the middle of a lot of interludes, but the ultimate end is that she sat on the train hard seat for more than eight hours by herself to come to the door of my university. At that time, I actually did not think, a girl not far from a thousand miles to a strange city, how much courage it takes, how much love it takes.
Some people say that long-distance relationship is doomed to break up. At that time I strongly refuted, I told all the people around me, you watch, I will be very happy. The ending is that I still lost her. Or rather, she lost me. I'm a roadie, I only remember the way home, and I only occasionally dream about the time I rode the same train she rode on, and stayed at the train station anxiously waiting and inwardly overwhelmed with despondency and helplessness. Later, I wrote a lot of articles about her, the most impressive is in the train station hugged her and said, baby don't cry, separation is to let us meet better next time. However, once separated, it is hard to get together in this life. To be honest, now I am very calm inside, not merciless, but this may be the best story I have ever written in my life.
And then there is the story of my friend. I met this friend when I was still reeling from the ending of the first story. At that time, I ran to a strange city to escape from everything to work, running around in a suit during the day, hiding in the corner to smoke, accompanied by uncle bar to buy drunk at night, accompanied by netizens Internet cafe all night. She worked as a summer job in a fruit store and ended up not receiving her full paycheck. Although I always mocked her mercilessly, I was inwardly grateful that there were actually such kind people in this world. So I wrote in "May every heart not be let down", may every heart not be let down, may every kind person be treated gently by this world. In fact, we have known each other for several years, contact off and on, until recently she has a boyfriend, and I do not know how to use the tone of communication with her, so when she said "so annoying", we all lie quietly in the blacklist. I've written her story in a very short space, and I don't mean to say anything else, but I've said what I needed to say since that year, and now it's a cold story.
I have never stayed in the sandy sky, but I have literally watched you go away in a strange city. I've had my share of sadness, despair, but life goes on; I've thought about sending you a thousand miles away, but since I have to say goodbye eventually, why should I stay bitterly.
I would like to send this article to the owner of the two stories, perhaps one day to hear this song, we will be in the late night tossing and turning difficult to sleep.
The first time I saw you was when I was a young man, and the second time I saw you was when I was a young woman, and the third time I saw you was when I was a young woman, and the third time I saw you was when I was a young woman.
Along the way,
I was thinking about how to face you,
the long-lost, once you.
Finally, as promised, I met you,
joy in the mixture of vicissitudes,
smiling face is full of uncertainty.
We are very frank, calm,
Can't help but walk into that bitter memory ......
I can't help but repress, or cry,
In fact, I want to seriously tell you,
Once, how much I love you!
You listened quietly,
trying to explain the original must not.
I would like to hug you,
with my sincerity to warm your heart;
I would like to lie on your shoulders,
Catharsis of my many years of difficulty;
but, I know, can not really!
To be your big brother,
To shelter you from the wind and rain,
To listen to your joys and sorrows;
To be my little sister,
To pray for you,
To send you blessings,
To send you the news,
To be a good friend to you!
I have traveled across the ocean to see you,
in a strange city, in a familiar corner,
also comforted each other and hugged each other tightly.
In the wind and sand in the sky, looking at you far away,
I even sadly can not own ......
I can not participate in your past,
Your future I accompanied to the end!
A lifetime with you!
Life is sometimes full of accidents and surprises--written at the top
Two years ago, I gave my mom a set of Polish travel brochures to learn English and inspire her to go out and see the world for the first time. Poland. Although I knew that one day I would visit this relatively unknown country, I didn't expect that day to come so soon.
Just as my father took the initiative to support my mom's study abroad fifteen years ago, my mom was encouraged by my father to go to Poland for an exchange program fifteen years later. This meant that our family would be split between three continents: Dad in Asia, me in Africa, and Mom in Europe. That sounds pretty cool!
From the time my mom decided to leave the country to the time she flew out, I took care of everything from getting a visa to preparing my luggage. I don't know when I started treating her like a child, fearing that she wouldn't think things through, that she'd get lost, that she'd be cheated, so I tried to do everything for her as much as I could. After my mom set off on her own, my dad reassured me, "You can't keep letting your mom have dependence, she has to grow up on her own." In the end, mom quickly adapted to life in a foreign country and proved her ability with facts. I also began to apply for a Schengen visa for Poland, although I applied for a maximum of three months for a tourist visa, but I was notified of the interview, I spoke truly and truthfully explain the purpose of the trip, from studying in France to work in Africa, the visa officer may really feel that I see my mother's heart, and finally got a six-month Schengen visa by accident. I have not yet been to Poland, but already feel its warmth.
I'm going to fly to you
At the end of January this year, after waiting for five months, I'm finally going to be reunited with my mom. It was like twelve years ago, when I took the train alone to see her in Hangzhou, and she took me from Hangzhou to Shanghai, Suzhou and Shaoxing. Thinking about it now, I really wonder how my road-weary mom managed to bring me back safely in those days without smartphones. It seems that there is no dependence, you can always find a way to do it. Today, I'm an "African" who is going to take a plane, change trains, and bring half a box of ingredients and domestic snacks to support the "Europeans" in my family, and then I'm going to take my mom to see the outside world. The trip, based on various considerations, I finally chose Greece, Portugal, France.
Although Greece is my reservation, but has not been able to go, this time with mom is also considered to pick up a bargain; Portugal to the civilization of the marine culture, is a small and exquisite country, everyone who has been to feel that it is not false; and France, as I am familiar with my second hometown, is an encyclopedia of art and culture, do not want to be missed. Therefore, this trip is based on the principle of relaxation and enjoyment, combining natural and humanistic landscapes, so as to recuperate my body and mind and at the same time have new rewards. Here is the itinerary:
20xx.01.21 Algiers - Warsaw
20xx.01.22 Warsaw - Lublin
20xx.01.27 Lublin - Warsaw - Athens
20xx.01.28 Athens - Santorini
20xx.01.30 Santorini - Athens

20xx.02.03 Lisbon-Paris
20xx.02.08 Paris-Warsaw
20xx.02.09 Warsaw-Lublin
20xx.02.12 Lublin-Warsaw-Phil
Too much to remember. I want to remember too much, so I'll write it in chronological order, but I hope it's not a running account ......
Departure--First Look at Poland
Before I came to Poland, I had the impression that it was a country that suffered a lot because of World War II, and had a certain kind of sadness in it. A little understanding, I did not expect the chemist Madame Curie, astronomer Copernicus, musician Chopin, these celebrities we know are from Poland, as if all of a sudden it draws closer to it. When I first arrived in Warsaw, I saw the long-lost snow, from the warm spring Mediterranean Sea to the snowy south of the Baltic Sea, and felt the temperature of the winter season, and I was happy.
After arriving, I took a break and couldn't wait to go out and see the city. It was already dark at 6pm, and there were very few pedestrians on the road. The clean, wide roads, tall buildings, and colorful billboards made me feel like I was back in the modern world all of a sudden, and it was intimate and familiar. Looking at the map, I walked all the way from the Palace of Science and Culture to the Old Town, passing by the Monument of Unknown Martyrs and the Presidential Palace. Along the way, the most impressive thing is that the local people consciously public **** consciousness, even in the absence of cars do not run the red light. I've been to so many European countries, but only in Poland have I seen such self-discipline and quality, and my feelings about it instantly soared. The Krakow suburban avenue leading to the old town is full of European-style buildings, and the whole road is dressed up with fireworks, and even still retains the flavor of Christmas.
Night and Day
The Palace of Science and Culture was Stalin's gift to the Polish nation. The building is currently home to nearly 70 institutions and organizations related to science and culture, and it hosts exhibitions in its exhibition halls, as well as the Art Room Theatre, the Puppet Theatre, the Parliamentary Hall Theatre, and a number of electric theaters.

St. Mary's Cathedral. Poland has a very religious atmosphere, with more than 95 percent of Poles practicing Catholicism. Perhaps this is one of the reasons for their warmth and self-discipline.
A makeshift skating rink in the old town square.
It's like being back in Xi'an, near the Big Wild Goose Pagoda
What's special about this road are the fourteen Chopin chairs scattered along it. When you press the play button, the music of Chopin, the piano poet, will slowly flow out, sitting on the chairs and listening to it with eyes closed, it is really enjoyable, and it is not enough to play it again. The contrast between the noise of the cars on the other side of the street and the quiet and peaceful piano music on the other side of the street gives you a wonderful feeling, as if you were "hiding in the city". Also on this road, Chopin's heart is placed in the second column from the left in Warsaw's most famous church, the Holy Cross. There is a tradition in Poland that if the body cannot be buried in the homeland after death, at least the heart should be left there. In the second half of his life, Chopin was forced into exile, but his heart was in his country, and he created a great deal of patriotic music, which Schumann described as "a cannon hidden among the flowers", proclaiming to the world that "Poland will not die". 39-year-old Chopin died in Paris of tuberculosis. At the age of 39, he died of tuberculosis in Paris, repeatedly telling his family to bring his heart back to Warsaw and his homeland. In the end, he returned to his homeland in such a way that although his heart no longer beats, the notes he composed will always beat in the world ......
Chopin Music Seat ,? Even if you listen to it in the cold wind, you still feel good
A night tour of Warsaw alone, you have to fill up your stomach. I've been thinking about Polish dumplings for a long time, and I wanted to try the strawberry dumplings at Zapiecek, a chain of traditional restaurants staffed by young, pretty girls in traditional Polish dresses. I've been here twice, and I'd recommend the sour rye soup, the savory dumplings, and the strawberry dumplings, which are wrapped in strawberry sauce and disappointing. The savory dumplings were soft and tender, with a solid filling, and the meat and vegetables were pureed and silly. The dipping sauces for the Polish dumplings were also wonderfully bold and imaginative, with bacon and onion sauce, cream, butter, and cheese sauce. A meat dumpling dipped in oily bacon and onion sauce is so full of calories that three or four dumplings will get tired of it, and I wish I could get them to try what a dumpling dipped in vinegar tastes like. After eating and drinking my fill that day, I took the bus back to the hotel. Although Poland gives me a very safe feeling, but alone at night, it is better to go back early. The next day, the noon train to Lublin, the morning free will walk to Wazinki Park.

Traveling than the car, I prefer to walk, I can go deeper into the city, to see more real, but also with a kind of unknown mystery, I do not know in which corner is a scenic view. That day, I walked for more than half an hour before arriving at Wazinki Park. This park is also called "Chopin Park" by the Chinese because of the statue of Chopin. Inside the park, there are palaces, pavilions, ponds and meadows, as well as rose gardens and citrus groves, etc. In this winter snowy season, the whole park is covered with a layer of white quilt, quietly sleeping, building up the strength to wait for the summer's prosperity and bustle. The huge Chopin statue is surrounded by a scattering of seats, empty, only a few crows play in the midst of it, and in the summer, it's a different story, every weekend under the Chopin statue will be held in the open-air concerts, the seat is not absent. If you have a chance, you must come to see the summer Wazinki Park, feel the elegant art of ......

Peace and quiet
Dry flowers in the winter is also very beautiful
Clean streets to see the quality of the
Warsaw half-day tour is over, although the time is limited.
Next stop, the reunion. I knew that one day I would go to this cold country to see, but I did not expect this day to come so quickly.
Just as my father took the initiative to take on the burden of being a father and a mother fifteen years ago, supporting my mother to go to a foreign country to study for a doctorate, fifteen years later, with my father's encouragement, my mother successfully won the opportunity to go abroad for exchange, and the country where she is going is Poland. This means that our family will be separated into three continents: Dad in Asia to hold down the home, I work in Africa floating, and Mom in Europe to experience a new life. That sounds pretty cool!
From mom is sure to go abroad to fly out of the country, the era of the big night to solve the visa, small to prepare the luggage, I fully managed. I don't know from what moment, began to take her as a child, afraid of her think not well, afraid of her lost, afraid of her being fooled, then as far as possible for her to do all. After my mom set off on her own, my dad comforted me: "Don't let your mom be dependent, she has to grow up on her own." In the end, my mom quickly adapted to life in a foreign country and proved her talent clearly. I also began to solve the Polish Schengen visa, although I applied for a maximum of three months of tourist visa, but was notified of the face-to-face visa, I said the real, measured explanation of the goal of the trip, from studying in France to Africa to work, the visa officer may really feel that I see mother eager, and finally got a six-month Schengen visa accidentally. The first thing I'd like to say is that I don't think I'm going to be able to do it without the help of a lawyer.
I'm going to fly to you
At the end of January this year, after waiting for five months, I'm finally going to go and reunite with my mom. The scene seems like twelve years ago, when I was alone on the train to Hangzhou to see her, and she took me from Hangzhou to Shanghai, Gusu and Shaoxing. Now that I think about it, I really wonder how my road-weary mom brought me back safely in that era of no smart phone. It seems that there is no dependence, they can always find a way to do. Today, I'm an "African" to take the plane, transfer train, with half a box of ingredients, domestic snacks to reinforce my family's "Europeans", and then, it will be me to take my mom to see the outside world. This time, based on the various aspects of the elegant, I finally chose Greece, Portugal, France.
20xx.02.09 Warsaw - Lublin
20xx.02.08 Paris - Warsaw
Greece is my place of preservation, but consistently have no chance to go, this time with mom is also considered to pick up a bargain; Portugal to the civilization of the marine culture is a small and fine country, everyone who has been to think that it is not a trip; and France as I am familiar with the second hometown, is an encyclopedia of art and culture, not to be missed. Therefore, this tour is based on the principle of relaxation and pleasure, combining natural and human landscape, and there are new harvests while resting the body and mind. Here is the itinerary:
20xx.01.21 Algiers - Warsaw
Warsaw half-day tour stopped, although the time is limited, but I immediately fell in love with this quiet and orderly, orderly, easy style of simple and enthusiastic city.

The city of Warsaw
The city of Warsaw is the most important place in the world. p> There's too much to remember, so I'll write it in chronological order, but hopefully it's not a running account ......
Departure - a first look at Poland
20xx.02.01 Athens - Lisbon
Before I came to Poland it was a place that I remembered because of its history. I had the impression that it was a country devastated by the Second World War, with a certain sadness. With a little knowledge, I didn't realize that the chemist Madame Curie, the astronomer Copernicus, the musician Chopin, all these celebrities we know are from Poland, which seemed to bring me closer to it at once. When I first arrived in Warsaw, I saw the long-lost snow, from the warmth of the Mediterranean Sea to the snowy south of the Baltic Sea, feeling the temperature of the winter should have, the heart is happy.
After arriving, a little rest will be imminent to go out to see the city. It's already dark at 6:00 p.m., and there are very few people on the road. The clean and spacious roads, the tall buildings, and the colorful signboards make me feel like I'm back in the modern world for a while, and it's intimate and familiar. Looking at the map, I walked all the way from the Palace of Science and Culture to the old town, passing by the Monument of Unknown Martyrs and the Presidential Palace. Along the way, the most impressive thing is the spontaneous public **** consciousness of the locals, even in the absence of cars do not run red lights. I've been to so many European countries, only in Poland to see such self-discipline and nature, the good sense of it instantly soared. The Krakow suburb leading to the old town of Krakow on the outskirts of the night, full of European-style buildings, the whole road is dressed up with fireworks, and even the smell of Christmas remains.
Night and Day
The Palace of Science and Culture, a gift from Stalin to the Polish people. The building now houses nearly 70 institutions and organizations related to science and culture, and exhibitions are often held in the exhibition halls of the building, which also houses the "Art Room" theater, the puppet theater, the "Parliamentary Night Hall" theater and a number of e-cinemas. Theater and a number of other cinemas.
The first time I heard Zhou Shen sing "Come to see you from across the sea," was in 20xx year's Spring Festival, a dark suit Zhou Shen looks very capable, this is the first time I heard him sing, naturally did not pay attention to it, that this is just a very common program. However, the first line sung by Zhou Shen attracted me, "For you I used half a year's savings to come across the ocean to see you", and then the next line, "In order to get together this time, I've even practiced my breathing when we meet again and again" has nailed my eyes to the TV screen. The next line, "I have practiced my breathing for this meeting," has nailed my eyes to the TV screen. "Words have never been able to express my love one millionth of ......" A kind of long-lost touching and light sadness permeates my whole body, this is the kind of feeling I like, just like different people like different kinds of coffee, for love songs, I prefer the mood of light sadness. I'm not sure if you're going to be able to get a good deal on this.
Later, I went to the Internet to specially check this song, only to realize that it turned out to be an old song, which was composed by the famous Taiwanese music producer Li Zongsheng, and the original singer is Jin Zhijuan. It was supposed to be a song with a story.
"Floating Across the Ocean to See You" was Jin Zhijuan's masterpiece in 1991. It is her own true story. At that time, she met a married man (poet Yiu Yiu) from Beijing in Hong Kong, but fell in love and started this long-distance relationship. Thinking back to this past, she said, "I was an eight o'clock show hostess for about two years during that period." The company's first step is to make sure that the company's products and services are in line with the latest trends in the industry.
Back then, she only and Li Zongsheng casually chatted 5 minutes of their own relationship status, I did not expect to meet Li Zongsheng two days later, the classic lyrics have been born, dolls said: "He was very excited to come up with a stained with grease, the kind of chain of beef noodle store placemats, that is certainly when he was eating beef noodle, think of the matter, he is! Put it down on the top of the paper, is the lyrics of "floating across the ocean to see you".
When I saw the lyrics, "Words have never been able to express my feelings, one in ten million, and for this regret, I thought about it again and again at night, and refused to go to sleep. ......", the doll's first reaction was that it was really written into her heart, and she said, "Oh my God! "Oh my God! He has a monitor next to me, because the writing is very subtle, what breathing ah, what kind of yellow sand, Beijing's kind of yellow sand scene ah, and that kind of city feeling ah! That kind of two people are very lonely, but do not want to give up hope, I just feel like saying, too terrible silk."
Afterwards, in the recording studio to record the song, the doll simply cried until she could not sing, she said, "When I opened my mouth and sang the second line, I couldn't sing, and then I used up almost half a box of Kleenex, and then I organized my emotions, you know? When you're a professional singer, you realize that your voice has changed, so you just wasted that day and went home." The next day into the studio, or the same crying to record, and finally after a period of time, the entire album of other songs are recorded, dolls try to withdraw from their own, forgetting that they are the main character in the lyrics, and only finally completed the recording of the song.
After the release of the album, it really caused a great response, and also gave many men and women in long-distance relationships the courage to pay for true love, she said, "I remember once at dinner, the waitress, she came to me in particular and said, she said, 'I want to thank you for this song, and I'm doing this work now to save money, and then go to see me. save money and go see my boyfriend.' ...... It could be that they're going to get married after she passes, and I think that's a good outcome, great!"
Doll herself finally ended that relationship after the song came out six months later. Now, she's long since married with children and a beautiful family, leaving only this song to commemorate the bitter love that necessitated traveling across the ocean to visit her lover.
This is a song that must be listened to in a very quiet environment, because it is in a high and light key, like a woman who is obsessed with love, gently crying out to you about what happened to her after encountering setbacks, which makes the heart feel compassionate and full of sympathy.
"I used half a year's savings for you, and traveled across the ocean to see you ......" When the melody of this song plays, I always like to close my eyes and listen quietly, recalling my own youth in my mind, as well as those who fell in love in my youth. Just as Zhang Lijun "hanging obstacles" in the summary of the language: the so-called youth, in the end, is not the spirit of fooling around without any obstacles? Once the spirit of convergence of this, catty and two counts up, that is to prove that people are old.
I am a small bird
gently beat my wings and then floated up
wandering outside the window, balcony
just to see a passing gift--
passing through the streets of you
I am a small bird
you have never seen me jumping around
the eyes are tilted a few times to see the other side of the world, the other side of the world, the other side of the world.
My eyes could have been tilted a few more degrees
And I could have seen a fluttering bird
I waited, for a long time
Almost turned into a piece of forgotten wood
Going against my hyperactive nature
I heard that you went overseas
Is the wind and the water there as gentle as this place
Is a bird as devoted to you as you are here?
And the world is a place of love. >
