杨帆随笔

Thanks for inviting me to write an essay. To today, I have left Jiaoda exactly 24 years, though many memories are still fresh as yesterday. 30 years are a long time. The other day I was talking with a friend. She said she would love to go back to her 30's in a heart beat, but not 20's. When looking back, I feel I have the same feelings. 50293 years were the foundation and beginning of our adult life. She, an American girl, had too much fun with boys while in college. We, so expected and proud top Chinese new college students, did not even have eye contacts between girls and boys.

Somehow we all still managed to get married and have, hopefully happy, families:) We seemed spent all our time to work, work and work. Test after test, we girls seemed beating the boys most of the time, though not sure if that attracted boys' attention or scared them all away:) Growing up, we were taught American was enemy number one, who knows a lot of us would end up living here?!

Life could be very complicated, yet very simple. I appreciate all my experience which made who I am and am very grateful for being blessed in so many ways. Yes, I, as any of us, do have a lot memories and sweet feeling about my past. I remember we all girls invaded your and other Shanghai girls' home for dinner parties. I remember we went to Yu Garden to take pictures. One thing I regretted was that I did not foresee it would take me so long to go back Jiaoda. I left all the pictures there and lost... I think my memories may be better to be kept private or among friends, not to be published. Xu Min and 季长晋wrote to me that they are going back for the reunion. I am sure you will have a lot talk and laugh, even some tears - no bitterness, but heart warming time. Please send me some pictures. This time I promise they would not be lost!
