Yunke,

Were you close to the terrible earthquake?

Lyle

YES!
I'm at school that day,and at about half past 2,the ground started shaking and we ran downstairs quickly.Fortunately ,none got hurt and we were just gain a unforgettable expirence.Meishan belong to the Chengdu Plain and we were all safe.But our school made the students back home and I spend at least 3 days in the tent~!(we were afraid of the aftershocks,none knows what would happen.)
After that I said to myself,"I'll never live in Japan!"(Haha)

Wow! What an experience!!! Thank God you were saved. I feel so very bad for all the parents that lost their children. What a great disaster for them. Yunke, can you guess why I feel much worse for the parents than the children?

Can you tell me how far you were from the epicenter? Wow! Three days in a tent? Now that it is over, you have a great experience!!!

Your friend,
Lyle

Well,my dear friend.I know what the children mean to their parents.They give them all their love,courage and hope.They love their children more than love themselves~!A child may be disobedient, naughty, treason……And just a mediocrity.But he is the only one who his parents would be like to rely on.The only one who makes his parents know about love,duty and the meaning of life.The only one who can give his parents endless consolation and happy,make them exprience the greatest thing in the world……Is these the reasons?That's what I learned from my parents~!I love them just like how they love me.Though they're strict with me all the time.(smile)
The place I live in is about 200KM away from Wenchuan,and we were not in the Seismic belt.(Thank God!)
Best wishes,
Yunke.

Dear Yunke,

Yes, we have had some days when it was WAY below freezing, with a big wind blowing! "Shiver!" I wonder: is this the holiday where you will eat moon cakes?

A college student? Sweetie, it will be a HUGE change in your life!!! Yes, you will be very busy, but you will find a little extra time. And I will be here for you to chat with! : -))

Yunke, can you please tell me something about you?

What do you like to do for fun?
What things make you sad?
What is your favorite food?
Do you like to cook?
Do you know how to swim?
Do you have a brother or sister?
Do you believe in the God that created everything you see?

There! now you have something to write about! : -)))

Your new friend,
Lyle

Dear Lyle
Haha,you're so cute~：—）The Spring Festival is the holiday that we eat dumpling and "Tang Yuan".The one you said about the moon cake is called the Mid-Autumn Festival,which often celebrated in Sep or Oct.
I like play chess and the Rubik's cube in my spare time.Reading is also my hoby.
What makes me sad……maybe I never wanna leave my friends and family.
My favorite food~~Fish, red beans, broccoli, pomegranates,cherries……And I'm a sichuan girl,so I like anything cooked spicy like the Hot Pot.
The little city I live in (Meishan)is near the Emei mountain,so I often enjoy the Hot springs here with my family on holiday.And in winter,we would go skiing and enjoy the snow here.
I like cooking~But I ain't very good at it.What's more,the high school students in China would spend more than 12 hours a day on study,so I hardly had any time in cooking.：（
　I like swimming~And I ever wanna be an airhostess .Work above the cloud~that sounds interesting,isn't it?＾，＾
　I'm the only child of my parents,so sometimes I felt lonely.But I have many friends and many hobbies~~You know china has too many people~so my parents were not allowed to have more kids.
(haha~)
And……actually,I believe in God!Though that sounds stange for a girl with Materialism Education..(Most of the people in China have no belief.)I also believe that anything has its own way of living and the significance of its existence.Maybe the univers itself is the god?(You won't mind me saying like that,right?hehe~~~)
Look forward to your reply~!
