Dear Mr. Li,  

Happy Bare Branch Day~ 

Ah, it’s a little weird that I am saying what I am going to say to you; anyway, since you are now reading it, it means that I’ve overcome my awkwardness in showing someone what’s on my mind, a little something about what I’ve been thinking recently. 

Does every man need a woman? Does every woman need a man? Why do we need each other to live by?  

You know when I meet someone I am interested in, males I mean, I would think: ah, what would my life be like if I were to be with this guy? The thing is that you don’t get be with different men often, the reasons are varied, like the problem now I am facing is that there’s just so few men around in campus, and I don’t have the chance to meet people other than my classmates and teachers.  

Is it natural that you need a man at this stage of your life? I think the answer is yes. But it seems that I am the only one who is bothered by this issue. We have huge amount of work to do everyday, we hardly have any personal time, and OF COURSE we are too busy to spare the energy to manage a BF or GF. So it is not really very practical to be in a relationship. Besides, some people can get on perfectly well by themselves, so why can’t I? Why am I being so thirsty for men all the time? (A, that’s embarrassing when it is put into Chinese, ha-ha).  

Well, I am thinking that people need love, don’t they? But when we talk about love, it’s so often leads to the love between man and woman. People of the same sex don’t talk about their friendship with the word “love”, except those petty girls, I don’t want to be classified as a petty girl, who knows a lot how to dress and how to put make-ups, who cares for only themselves, who writes nothing more than the trivial things in their little life and never care for the great people and great minds, who know nothing about the world, who are really shadow and never work hard and therefore are good for nothing. But oh my god, when I look at myself, I can’t help but seeing all this things that I hate in them, like I too care very much for myself, too much some times, I don’t know anything very well, I travelled little, I don’t have a very open heart for things, I don’t like politics and economy, I am bad at geography, I can’t take awesome photos, I hardly do any sports, I lack courage, I am poor, to name just a few 

You know what they say about love? In love, you can forget about yourself, and all these things that you don’t like about yourself, if they don’t bother the one who loves you, they shouldn’t bother you yourself. And though the eyes of the people who appreciate you, you can see your own values and merits, and that is so nice. Like if I am being loved right now, I can see that I am very unique, that I am young and smart and really fun (oh, it’s a little like “lao wang mai gua, zi mai zi kua”, ha-ha), that I can have a great future and thing like that. The point is, nobody is loving me now and I feel it narcissistic to think in such a way, and I don’t like narcissism, at least for now.  

I’ve had a boyfriend; we were together for a couple of years and broke up at last. And I really have a lot of doubts about myself after that. And I worry that I could not handle relationship very well, that I’m always the one who hurt the others, and that I am not good (if you are good, why don’t they love you?). Anyway, it doesn’t not mess up another side of my life, which at present time, is my study. I always think it is unwise to take “love” as everything in one’s life. School girls and boys would get hurt in love and think their life is hollow and nothing in this world is worth live, and that appears to me to be really naïve. But when I am longing for love, I would doubt myself: am I that naïve that I can’t live with out love? The answer is no, I can manage my life pretty well without the existence of a BF. But I would then ask myself: since love isn’t everything, why do you need it so much? Well, I think because it is something. But exactly what it is and how much it means to me, I’ve no idea. 
 

There are people who try to talk me out of my dream of having someone who really knows me and loves me. They say life is for real and marriage is a very practical thing, and you should be careful who you choose. I’m thinking recently that I would probably get married not because I’m in love with that man but because time has come for me to get married and the qualifications of the man is good. Ah, why am I thinking about marriage? It’s too much for me. And who am I to talk about love? I don’t really know what love is. Do you? 
 

Ok, here’s my oh-my-god-it-is-so-long letter. I feel myself silly talking about these things to someone I know little about. But, ha, I like you, and I think maybe you can understand what I am saying, can you? 

Anyway, I hope we can get to know each other more.  
 
 

Beast wishes

PS. I just watched for one more time BEFORE SUNSET, I love this movie, and I love it when you can really talk to someone and feel connected to people.
