The Flight of Youth
(by Richard Henry Stoddard)
There are gains for all our losses.
There are balms for all our pain:
But when youth, the dream, departs
It takes something from our hearts,
And it never comes again.
We are stronger, and are better,
Under manhood's sterner reign:
Still we feel that something sweet
Followed youth, with flying feet,
And will never come again.
Something beautiful is vanished,
And we sigh for it in vain;
We behold it everywhere,
On the earth, and in the air,
But it never comes again!
I experienced a wonderful period of time these days. This is the first time that I have felt a sense of home in Italy, with Shanghainese food, Shanghai dialect, shanghainesi...ahah...(forgive me to miss Shanghai a bit)!
Thanks all my
friends in Milan! You have given me a big surprise , my lovely
chefs and guiders! In the house , there are only laughs and smiling
faces! I have never imagined that you guys can cook such fantastic
food : braised pork with eggs and steak chicken from Maurizio;
fried chicken with curry and fried pork with mushroom from Emilio;
fried eggs with
Dear my friends,
Sorry that I haven't updated and written something about my new life in Turin Because in the past 2 weeks I have been always busy in dealing with the documents and looking for a house. The journey since I started to do the visa is destined to be an Oddessey! When I was ready in the Pudong Airport, I had heard that the computer system of Lufthansa was broken down. So all the passengers had to wait for a long time in doing check in manually. As I predicted before, my flight was delayed for more that 3 hours so that I couldn't take the connected the flight in time. I was so unfortunate that the plane from Fankforte to Turin had gone when I arrived. Right so I had to do the procedures to change to the next flight. I found around the Frankforte airport and talked with the officers alone. It was not difficult for me because I could talk with them in English, but which made me so 'fastidio' was the f
It is a really bad day for me. Going to Italy is just like an Oddessey to me. I prepared for a long time and I have devoted all myself these years. But now I am possibly informed that I can't get my visa...(I don't know if I can get it, but first I have to prepare other documents)
The interviewers for doing visa in Italian Consolate
are
Today is my birthday, and first of all, I wanna extend my sincere thanks to all my friends who gave me their sincere wishes. I don't have the habit to celebrate birthday, but this year's birthday is very special to me because I will leave my hometown and start my studying abroad. Yesterday I enjoyed a wonderful day for celebrating my birthday in advance. It was the first time that I could obtain the flowers! Thanks a lot to my BUE!!eheh...
I just came back from my trip. This summer is so impressive for me because I got a golden opportunity in making a stage in Italian Culture Office, Consulate General of Italy in Shanghai. And I spent a month in travling abroad - a real trip, visiting 20 cities in a month with heavy bags.
I went to Cambodia,Vietnam,Lao, Thailand, Hongkong and Macau. Cambodia-very poor,only the Angkor Wat left me a great impression; Vietnam-chaos,without its own culture, and what made me strange was that all the vietnamese considered me Vietnamese;Lao-

Nobody can do somethng concrete for me and nobody wanna really help me! I feel be ignored!
I can't understand these italians why they always prefer doing all the things utill the last second(of course, I don't wanna point at all , but I am really offensed by some of them).
The Italian consulate doesn't like others that have a precise date to get the visa. We can never anticipate when we can get our visa: one week? 10 working days? one month? or so damned 2 months? what the fuck they are doing every day??!!!
Now I can't do anything but wait for the Polito's important document and go to consulate when I am back in shanghai from travelling , then wish I will get my appointment quickly so that I have the HORNER to go to consulate to do the interview...but mamma mia

Hi guys, I've already come back now!! Sorry for not updating the blog these days cz I am really busy...
Now the bisemestre has just begun. You know, it's the last semester for me in shanghai, after it, I will leave for Italy...ehiii, my friends, there are only 2 months left for studying here-my home town shanghai...
First, let me tell you something about the passed semester. Generally it has gone well, although I don't think I've studied well in terms of getting pretty good scores. Anyway, I don't care it much! What made me excited is that I fortunately passed the PLIDA exam of B2-an identified exam of the italian language. Cheers!!
Looking back into the passed 2 months, I considered a lot about my future ,my following goals as well as my life values,thanks to

I am lost again , the same feeling
Life is such a paradoxing trivial. Something made me on top of the world, while something bad is destined to come soon.
I am full of fear and complex, so that I don't know how
The darkness is falling down on me. And I feel so tired, no matter physically or rather mentally. I choose to become stronger and I would like to be ...
Let me calm down...Tonight , an unsurprisingly long night, is leaving me those endless thoughts and fights.
Give me support and courage,and I will overcome the devil...
Almost crying,I am still on
