After reading Liu’s experience, what strikes me most is that the need of being with Chinese. I had the same thought with Liu, and I can understand him. It’s pretty easy to explain that a man who suddenly immerses into a totally different situation will confront so many difficulties on language, food, getting friends and study. For Liu’s confusion, loneliness may be the most fundamental obstacle that should be pointed out, instead of language. I was and I am experiencing same loneliness as Liu’s.
At the international orientation, I met a brunch of Chinese friends, I felt so happy at the very beginning in Delaware, for I didn’t suffer from loneliness at all! We ate, we chatted, we played and we laughed, which was a terrific start to me. Nevertheless, things went to another side when we thought our friendship will be lasted forever.
As I’m the southerner among the group of northerners, perhaps we differed on the way of humor. Consequently, in a warm evening, without any notice, one of my friends was exasperated against me after we all come back to Smyth, the building we are living. I had no idea for why he was back off, for we just had a relaxed chat while coming back! At that moment, I thought thing will become butter after he chilled out. Far beyond my expectation, he still seems to be so angry when I saw him in the dinner hall next day. What did I exactly do could make him accumulate so much hatred that could last overnight? No answer they gave. The only change I realized was that they didn’t invite me to any activities since that night.
From a person they loved to a person they isolated, that’s where my loneliness came from. which was the feeling that I’d never experienced because I was always so popular in my former college in south of China. At those nights, I always made several phone calls to China for finding some friend to speak Cantonese, my mother language.
I have an overall awareness of Liu’s experience that loneliness is not the obstacle on doing something, but a nightmare that occupies our mind, haunting us, taunting us. Everyone needs friends, for we aren’t the single island on the sea. We all want to find someone to share our happiness or sadness without any difficulty on language, which may be the reason for Liu to be with Chinese.After reading Liu’s experience, what strikes me most is that the need of being with Chinese.
