Six months later, it's over.

Before I knew it, I'd been in the US for half a year. With the New Year approaching, I reorganized my apartment. My Y560 is back in my primary computer spot. While organizing my computer, I found a lot of stuff from six months ago; I hadn't used it in so long! I've learned a lot and grown rapidly in the past six months.

Three songs from my six months in America left the deepest impression on me. The first was "The Return Line of Love" and "Closer." Listening to them, I experienced a rollercoaster of emotions, gained a clearer understanding of the world, and discovered myself. The second was "Childen of the Earth," a song I listened to on repeat while reading and studying. Now, listening to it evokes images of the library—that library on the second floor of the University of Maryland, where I once fell asleep and woke up. And then there was my friend Zhang, who was there for me during that most difficult period. Although we haven't been in touch for a long time, I'm truly grateful for your presence during that time. Those months are unforgettable, and I'm still deeply moved when I think about them. I've said that if I ever have the chance to write an autobiography, I'll definitely dedicate a section to you, filling two pages. The third was "Call Me Maybe," a song I played when I was reflecting and before striving, always giving me a feeling of setting sail for the vast ocean.

Every era has its memorable melodies, melodies whose memories can only be savored by oneself. Time flies, and there are still many things we haven't had time to accomplish. We grow together, appearing in each other's stories—that in itself is a kind of fate. We don't know what 2013 will bring, but we have anticipation and motivation.

Hope never dies, and the struggle never ends.

The day before yesterday, I ran into someone, and it stirred something within me again. Some things that had been dormant for a long time seemed to be reactivated. Especially when I looked back, I saw happiness. I think that's enough. Some things don't need to be forced; fate will take care of them. Thank you for your continued support.

Tomorrow is Valentine's Day. Wishing all lovers in the world a happy ending!

Time flies, but dreams are still a long way off.
