Encounter is fate
Maybe it's because I've been learning Korean in my spare time lately, so I pick up a pen and write Korean from time to time, like I wrote down sentences in my diary a few days ago that I thought were good. What is even happier is that I accept and learn this language very quickly, and I am also very happy, and I feel a sense of pride in watching Korean dramas and occasionally understand one or two sentences.
Let me tell you, I've finished reading "The Secret Garden", and I've taught myself that I can basically read general sentences in Korean, but I don't know what it means, in fact, it's like learning pinyin, reading a man marked with pinyin, Korean will be relatively simpler, learn and understand the vowels, consonants and pronunciation methods will read, now for me simple daily reading and writing is not difficult, the point is to know what it means, see a sentence or hear a sentence I want to know what it means. Of course, mastering any language is not as simple as I say, if you want to be able to read and write, you still have to study hard. You praised me in the broken Korean "대단해, 우리오빠", I guess I learned it from watching Korean dramas, and of course I know what it means when I hear it. Like this, it's good to talk about daily life, trivial things that can't be trivial, even if you are not around, you can know each other's concerns, and feel each other's warmth in this early winter.
On the phone, you will always casually mention the scene of our first meeting, and you will say that it was the most memorable meeting for you, and you will often think about it. So I said a serious passage on a whim, which I had memorized before and firmly remembered: "Meet the people you meet among thousands of people, in the endless wilderness of thousands of years, there is no earlier step, no later step, just to catch up, then there is nothing else to say, but to ask softly: Oh, are you here too?" You smile and say, "Do you also like to read Eileen Chang's books?" I said, "It's okay, when I was in junior high school, I spent a week's pocket money to buy three novels by Eileen Chang, but I read one of her essays not long ago and wrote it down." You smile and say, "Yes, little follower, I usually read a lot!" "My first feeling is that you're not praising me, the focus seems to be a "little follower". Then the mechanism said something like I owe a beating: "Yes, senior sister, your birthday seems to be coming soon, congratulations on being a year older!" There was silence for a while, and I even suspected that you had hung up the phone, and then I heard "I'm angry if you do this again!" Why can't you suffer a little loss in front of me? Why didn't I see you so good at others?······" I can imagine you pretending to be angry and concerned, so I politely took the initiative to admit my mistake and then said, "When you meet, it's fate." ”
After chatting for a long time and forgetting the time, I still can't bear to let you not have enough time to rest because of my selfishness, I'm afraid that you won't be in a good state to devote yourself to work, so I said I'm tired and go to bed early. How can I get tired of talking and chatting with you?
Good dreams, good night.

"If you were light, there would be no darkness in the world. If you have hope, the world will not be utterly hopeless. If you don't give in, what can the world do to you! "A sentence of Mandela's chicken soup for the soul, to insist on choosing yourself in your heart, one day, I can hug you again, and each other is happy.
