What a beautiful and lyrical composition! It picked me straight up and plunked me in the moment.

hehe, it is not a composition Josh, it is part of my childhood life. I do wish I could have those life back again, but bygone days won't come back again!

When did you move to the city? Or did the city move to you?

Well, I spent my high school time and university time in city, and after I graduated, I came to another city for job. So in this case, 13 years ago, I was still in rural villiage.

That's a big change, and you were old enough to really have a strong concept of your village. You must have gone through some serious culture shock!

I can say honestly without any modesty that I do know well how villiage life, and have deep impression on how city life, even though not experience all, well it is just restricted in Chinese villiage and city. I don't know how the life of these both abroad, but I am sure there will be much culture shock.

when ur alone in ur room u tend to reminisce the past,.its love to refresh those moments esp when u r lonely & sad yeah?,.and that what i sew on ur simple recap story,.but thts life ,.we cant bring it back,.sometimes we think if theres a time machine we would rather choose the memories that brought us happiness in our lives,.
let me guess,.ur a loner person i bet?im a loner too,.thats why i can say this,.hehehhe

Hi Jem, thanks for your comments and what you said are quite right. I think every person will reminisce the past, especially something impressed on you deeply and unforgetful all of your life when sometimes he or she is alone in a nostalgic or sad ambience. This is not bad in my mind, this is a cherishing inner world of memory to each person......Well, at the same time we recall the past, we also have to look forward to the future, like you say we can't bring things back.....As my introduction says: I am not optimistic, but not pessimistic; not extrovertive, but not introvertive either. So it is a little hard to answer your question whether I am a loner or not, hehehe....... But I hope you can try to enjoy each of you day Jem, even though sometimes things won't go as our will.

well its ok jane f u cant answer my Q,.
yeah as individual, we have a sentimental behavior & thats part of our lives,.
anyway tnx for sharing ur thoughts,.

my dear, I have no intention of growing old, istead i wil act young always

Good!!! Richard, always keep young in your heart. That is the spirit of healthy and long life! I am happy for you!

I also wish to return to my childhood on the farm,that supported us all. But alas the farm is no longer there, sold off to build condos and overpriced homes, so crowded together, I can no longer envision whet used to be.

The same with some of the farm in my childhood too Richard, many buildings had already taken place of the quiet and peaceful farm......Seems childhood could just be kept as a beautiful memory in our mind, things nowadays have great changes compared with the bygone golden life, maybe that is why we want to go back to our childhood life. Glad to hear that you also wish to return to your childhood, Richard. Keep happy and smile like in your childhood Richard!
