Seven days of time with the daily warmth and simplicity and gradually left, Meng Ting can never forget the last day of the National Day, Yu Manxue's father who was on a business trip suddenly came back, when he heard the news that his only daughter had died, his whole person instantly became like a demon, his mouth kept shouting Yu Manxue's name, looking for it room by room, in his opinion, his daughter did not leave, but made a joke, the daughter must have been hiding, waiting for his father to look for it. Meng Ting looked at Yu Manxue's father's sad appearance without tears, she couldn't stop crying again, and her mind once again remembered the time she had been with Yu Manxue at Huangpu University.

That year, Meng Ting clearly remembered that she received a surprise on the first day after the seven-day vacation. The Faculty of Liberal Arts of Huangpu University and the Faculty of Liberal Arts of Tung Bay University in Taiwan held an exchange activity, and the Faculty of Liberal Arts of Huangpu University is preparing to send five outstanding students to visit and study at Tunghai University. After receiving the notice from the college, Meng Ting was first a surprise, and then a melancholy, the surprise was that she really wanted to go to Taiwan for exchange and study, different places will bring her different experience, and go to Taiwan, a new environment will gradually purify her soul, in the days of Huangpu University she experienced too many sad stories. What makes Meng Ting sad is that she won't be able to come back until half a year after going to Taiwan, what will happen to Yu Manxue's mother after she leaves? What about the beds in the dormitory? The five students who received the notice, and the other four were all happy, after all, Taiwan is still a magical place for them, but Meng Ting was the only one who was deeply hesitant and did not reply to the academy for two days.

After Meng Ting told her parents and Liu Jingjing the news that she was selected to go to Taiwan, they all strongly supported it, thinking that the opportunity was rare, after all, the number of places was limited, and going to Taiwan to experience it for herself was not only a broadening of horizons, but also a growth. After Meng Ting hesitated for two days, she decided to tell Yu Manxue's mother the news. When Yu Manxue's mother heard that her goddaughter was going to Taiwan for exchange and study for half a year, although she was reluctant, because she loved this goddaughter who had just been with her for a short time, she still forced out a smile and told her goddaughter to go to Taiwan with confidence, and she would not be immersed in sadness all the time. When Meng Ting told Yu Manxue's mother the news, she hugged her godmother and cried, and kept saying sorry.

The day of going to Taiwan for exchange and study was set for the weekend, and after leaving from Yu Manxue's mother, Meng Ting saw that there were less than four days left. Meng Ting thought carefully about the things she had to arrange for four days in her heart, first of all, she had to entrust Yan Ning and Zou Yanhua with the task of keeping Yu Manxue's bed tidy. Secondly, you must prepare the items you want to bring and exchange Taiwan dollars, after all, if you go to Taiwan for the first time, if you don't sort out the details of your future life, you will bring great trouble to yourself when you get to the other side of the strait.

The day Meng Ting got up to go to Taiwan, the sun was shining, the sky was cloudless, and the sky was blue. Meng Ting and her entourage rushed to Shanghai Pudong International Airport before dawn. For Meng Ting, this was the first time she took a plane in her life, and before she arrived at the airport, she began to constantly imagine in her mind the feeling of being in the blue sky overlooking the thousands of miles of land, and that feeling must be very different from galloping on the railroad tracks.

The plane took off on time at 8:30 a.m. and will cross the ocean and fly across the strait two hours later to reach the treasure island of Taiwan. When the plane was moving smoothly in the blue sky, Meng Ting quietly looked at the blue sky through the window, and she deeply experienced the different feeling from taking the train. At this moment, outside the window, there is a blue sky and white clouds as far as the eye can see, and the world seems to have transformed into one character, two colors. Meng Ting looked at the endless blue outside the window, and at the same time compared the feeling of taking a plane and a train in her heart. Galloping on the railroad tracks, the mountains and rivers in the countryside, the city and the countryside are intertwined, and every minute and second will bring different changes. Swimming in the blue sky, there is not only the warmth of being in the cradle, but also the endless imagination of the world, looking out the window, although the plane is moving fast, but you can't feel its movement, no matter how long time passes, you are still wandering in the blue.

At about nine o'clock in the morning, the plane began to soar over the ocean, the blue sense at the moment is more intense, between the top and bottom, the heaven and the earth are one, whether it is the blue sky or the ocean, there is an infinite blue for you to gallop freely, free fantasy, looking into the distance, the blue sky and the ocean seem to be connected as one, together into a beautiful oil painting. Meng Ting's soul has never had this kind of experience of unlimited freedom, overlooking the vast sea, mist and white clouds fluttering in the wind, and the island she encounters looks like a building block toy, it is so small.

When the plane flew over the Taiwan Strait, Meng Ting saw scattered islands and huge ships sailing in the ocean from the window. A Taiwan Strait, a beautiful place, has long blocked the hearts of many Chinese sons and daughters, and blocked the dreams of reunion of many homelands. A shallow strait is an abbreviation of history, how many past years are buried in the middle, not only the heroic deeds of Zheng Chenggong in the bloody battle against the Dutch colonists to recover their homeland, but also the blood and tears splashed after the bloody war of the First Sino-Japanese War. Before modern times, the two sides of the Taiwan Strait had the same ancestry, shared the same fate, and grew up freely in the arms of a mother. However, history is sometimes cruel, and after the War of Liberation, Taiwan, the treasure island of the same family, has once again become a portrayal of sadness and regret, and for decades, there is no telling how many brothers and sisters have been sprinkled over the strait. Meng Ting looked at the calm Taiwan Strait, and couldn't help but think of the poem "Homesickness" by the Taiwanese poet Mr. Yu Guangzhong:

Childhood

Nostalgia is a small stamp,

I'm on this end,

Mother is over there.

When you grow up,

Homesickness is a narrow ticket,

I'm on this end,

The bride is on that end.

Later,

Homesickness is a low grave,

I'm out there,

Mother is inside.

And now,

Homesickness is a shallow strait,

I'm on this end,

The continent is on that end.

After arriving in Taiwan and getting off the plane, Meng Ting immediately felt the humidity in the air, there was no trace of coolness in Taiwan in the golden autumn season, and its footsteps were still stuck at the end of summer and refused to leave. Sitting on the bus to Tunghai University, Meng Ting looked at the city streets of Taiwan with excitement, and the strong marine style continued to come into view, merging into her body and mind. Every character on the street is in traditional Chinese, and looking at these fonts with classical meanings is like going back to history and feeling the heritage and charm of Chinese characters. When the bus did not arrive at Tunghai University, Meng Ting checked various introductions about Tunghai University from her mobile phone. It is a private church university, which was established in Taiwan by the Joint Board of Trustees of the Christian University of China to carry on the fine tradition of 13 well-known church universities in mainland China, including Yenching and Jinling, and is regarded as the most international university in Taiwan. Among them, in the first campus of Tunghai University, there is also a landmark in Taichung City designed by the famous Chinese architect I.M. Pei - Lu Siyi Church. In addition, Tunghai University also enjoys the reputation of "the most beautiful university in Taiwan" among many universities in Taiwan.
