Dear friend, please don’t send this letter to others.

“Oh, dear friend, can you image if one day I disappear, will you cry for me, will you miss me?”

I was told that one could live in the world for good as long as one was remembered by others, is it true? The days in Washington D.C. have gone, but please don’t forget me :)

Dear friends,

This is Greeny. The moment you read this letter, I have already come back to China and started my amazing school life again. (I am so old to use this old fashion starting~~ Apologize~) Here, I want to say thank you to all of my friends, for taking care of me in D.C. and for teaching me so much in U.S. This is my first time abroad, just like a new born baby, I got to learn how to live, how to learn, how to love, in a totally new city, or country. In D.C., I got to know how to work at an office, I got to know how to decorate Christmas trees, I got to know Wal-Mart sells guns, I got to know American people actually like vegetable so much, I got to know that Jesus is so important in Americans’ life and one is loyal enough to die for him….. Everything is so wonderful!! I really appreciate that I have met all the nicest people in D.C. and their patience let me learn so much in U.S.

For those I worked with at Policy Impact, I sincerely thank you all. Policy Impact is such an awesome company and let me change so much. Policy Impact really has the impact that changes my life!

Bill, thank for giving a chance for me to learn at Policy Impact, and your wisdom really impressed me so much. I sincerely hope that you can see a boy from our school very soon. We do have boys at school :)

Ben, I am feeling that when you speak, you are just like singing. Isn’t that case? So good to talk to you~ And if I was in trouble again, I would do as what you told me, trying to call Rob. But Rob said that he would call you. Then, when you got Rob’s call, please give me a hand :)

Rob, please have a “muy feliz” life with Whitney! I have to say that Whitney and you are really a couple made for each other. Happy wedding! And thanks for teaching me Spanish, for teaching me how to love. (P.S, I will inform you when I want to get married. XD..You know I am JK~)

AJ, the Victor’s Secret gift card is FAKE. I am so sorry to hear about that, but please don’t go there~ Especially alone.

Sarah, you are such a nice individual and I learn a lot by talking to you. I wish I could talk to you more about different culture and I still want to learn more about Italian from you! I still cannot forget I didn’t go to Baltimore with you. (Tears~)

Leo, thank you for teaching me listen to my heart, I still remember you told me “You can do that if you like.” Chinese people tell me to take care of others’ feelings first, sometimes I just forget what my feeling is. Thank you for your remind~

Bethany, B2B is such a great idea! I am so glad that I could go to your celebration party! And please live happily ever after!

Craig, hmmm, isn’t that you are a cool guy?! Thanks for talking to me each time when I was tired~ You’re a super nice person!! I have to pick a pumpkin with you someday, it’s not that “boring”.

Tori, “Miss Laugher”?! I am very happy each time I hear your laugher! You are really a delight. And, hmm, I will try to do kissing face with you next time, I mean, try.

Connie, thanks for your patience for me and teach me so much about U.S.. I definitely will see you in Hong Kong someday!

Kurt, it’s really hard to find someone else who is as cool as you, and I will confirm that whether Salt Lake City is the most beautiful city in the world someday.

And for those who teach me what American life is, how I can forget you?!

Frank, do you think I can be lucky enough to see you again in the future?

Hannah, I tell everyone that you are my American mother:) Thank you so much for taking care of me. I really hope that I could spend more time with you in D.C.. If I went to Alaska, do you think I could go hunting with you? I have sharp eyes! My only shortcoming is I don’t have a sleeping bag there.

Aimee, did I miss your birthday? Happy birthday! I hope that you can find a super good friend to go to Boston and have a great great time there. Will you tell me more about your amazing life even though I am not in U.S.?

Colton, 你的中文好到我不用再說了啦! 要再來中國哦!

Clara, it’s so good to meet you in D.C., I wish I could talk more about journalism with you. If you wanna have an internship in China, make sure that you will inform me!! I haven’t told you that, but I really like your smile so much, it’s so warm!!

Candace, thank you so much for being so friendly for me. I am feeling so lucky to meet you in D.C.!

Laura, I hope I could have the first dinner with you when I was back to D.C.!

Taylor, you have amazing smile and attractive eyes! I enjoyed having dinner with you! Do you think I can visit you in Seattle?

Jennifer, you are the first one that told me “you’re a gift for me”, thank you so much for holding my hands and praying for me. No one has done that for me before, I really like it so much. Please teach me more about religion!!

Miriam, I really enjoyed the time I spent with you, especially the time we discussed about the “eternal principles”. I really wish I could meet you earlier. But I have to say that thank you so much for taking me to experience so many American things! It’s so amazing.

Dear all, I have already made my mind to be a superwoman in the future, hope someday I can fly to U.S. and see you all. :) You know what I mean?! I look forward to seeing all of you in the future!

To all I love: 我會永遠相信,距離不是距離.

And, a very important thing:

Everyone, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!!

Please have an amazing 2011.

With bests,

Greeny

This magazine is amde by 3 girls from Cheung Kong School of Journalism and Communication, Shantou University.
