Growing Up Under the Blue Sky Here, there is a river that runs through the city -- the Zhe Duo River. Here, there is a famous mountain -- Paoma (Running Horse) Mountain. Here, there is rich Tibetan culture. This is my hometown -- Kangding. This town does not have the noise and bustle of a big city, but a girl was born here and grew up here. In this little girl's heart, nothing can compare with what this town has given her in her life. In her eyes, when she was born, she already had her parents' love. When she was growing up, she had her sister's care. When she faced hardships, she had her friends' help and encouragement. So, this girl thinks she is very lucky. The girl's parents are common workers. Though the family isn't rich, in their home you can hear the sound of laughter everyday. Father and Mother both work very hard, and they let the girl know: If you want to do anything, you must work hard at it. The girl's sister is only four years older than her, so her sister was her role-model while she was growing up. Because of her sister, the girl likes to read books. At school, she does her schoolwork diligently and listens to her teachers carefully. Her grades are not that good, but she trusts that if one works hard, there will be rewards. In her life, the girl has a good friend -- Wu Jing. This friend helps her whenever she meets difficulties. Wu Jing is good at drawing. The girl has an interest too -- dancing -- but as she grew up and there were more and more subjects to study in school, she had to let go of this interest. She trusts that if one has heart, things will go well, though she has yetto achieve all she hopes for. The girl likes best to listen to music while doing homework or reading books because this makes her feel happy. Hi! Do you want to know who this girl is? The girl is me, a 15-year old Senior grade one high school girl named Luo Xi. ____________ See the original, written in Chinese by Luo Xi (Senior grade 1, class 2) Translated into English by Luo Xi, Synphen Wu, and Miss Jiang See this page in Tibetan |
