(Appreciation)

Once you saw the ocean, you won't be impressed by the water elsewhere; once you experienced the cloud and rain in Mountain Wu, you won't be surprised by the cloud elsewhere. I walked by a group of young girls but didn't look back. Half of it is because I'm on a mission trip, the other half is that I've already had someone in my heart.


The author's wife died a while ago. He missed his wife so much that nothing can replace her in his heart. Such a sad by moving story >_<...
