The Garden of the Sea‘Xia men’/故地重游之厦门

 

 I have always felt that there are too many emotions in the idiom“gu di chong you”, such as excitement, sadness, missing or  despair . the scene is the same at the moment, but the mood is already gone. i like the words of jay chou: "the most beautiful thing is not the rainy day, but the eaves of the house where we escaped the rain." originally, those beautiful scenery were all because you were by my side. 

一直觉得故地重游这个成语里包含了太多的情绪，兴奋，忧伤，怀念或是决绝，眼前的景色一往如故，当时的心情却早已不在，很喜欢周杰伦的一句歌词“最美不是下雨天，是曾与你躲过雨的屋檐”，原来当时那些美不胜收的景色全是因为有你在身旁。

 

i have been Xiamen several times. Each time the state of mind is different, The first time I went there, I was excited, just like meeting a new friend. I was full of curiosity about every corner of the town. I was so curious about Gulangyu, the lively Zhongshan Road, and the beautiful Xiamen University. It was only when I recently went to Xiamen that I discovered that the scenery of Xiamen had to be slowed down and I had to sit down to get ready to see this once beautiful fishing village.  

厦门已经去过好几次，每一次的心境都各不相同，第一次去的时候是兴奋，如同认识了新朋友，对每个角落都充满了好奇，悠闲的鼓浪屿，热闹的中山路，美丽的厦门大学，穿梭在游客和美景之间，最近一次去才发现，厦门的景色是要放慢脚步，收拾好心情坐下来，才能看清这个曾经美丽的小渔村。

 Some places do n ot want to go again after a visit, some places want to go back to see as soon as you have time, not so much miss the scene of the time, rather miss yourself, memories always pull people back, and the meaning of life should be hope and far away.  take your dreams as the direction and driving force. 

有些地方去了一次就不想再去，有些地方一有时间就想再回去看看，与其说是怀念当时的景色，不如说是怀念当时的自己，回忆总是把人往回拉，而生命的意义却应该在于希望和远方。 以梦为马，不负韶华。
