We are ready for another excited one year.

In a book, ‘The Old Man and the Sea, <Hemingway’s Portrait>’ the old man talks to himself due to a shark’s continuing attack. He had a mind to strengthen his injured arm again, saying ‘human can be ruined, but can’t be defeated,’ and then prepare for the attack.

 

Then, he had a will to bring a spearfish into the port without any damage. He also got a reward because he didn’t catch any fish for more than 80 days and remembered that he focused on doing arm-wrestling all day long when he was young… He had mixed feelings about this.

I read this book again even though I can’t remember when I read this first. I brought ‘Farewell to arms!,’ and ‘For Whom the Bell Tolls,’ but it was not easy to read. Like the old man, a boy also felt depressed. I can’t imagine how the small boy thought like that, but I was just sorry for the old man’s heart that missed the boy. It was really freezing in the train station of Yiwu when I arrived at 11 p.m.

 

The temperature was over 25 degrees a few days ago, but it was getting cold after it had snow three days ago. My home was really chilly, but I could rest at home because I already cleaned up. It’s really cold. I felt warm on my back because of the electric pad, but from the upper part of my back to my head was really cold. According to the weather forecast, the temperature would return back to normal next week. It’s really great.

 

My home was still white. It has been over three years since I moved into, so I couldn’t move out because I already became attached to this home. I came to work early in the morning, and then there were 10 workers already working in the factory. All of the employees would work regular hours on 15^th. I asked workers in the factory to go to work on 10^th, but they actually came earlier than the day. We had a morning meeting and went round a subcontract factory.

Then, we went to another place, but there were many stores that didn’t open their doors. After three days, we could get the necessary paper. The Puten market started to work on 12^th after the break. I just idled away my time this week.

 

Next week, our factory would fiercely fold a shopping bag without any breaks on Saturday and Sunday for one year. Also, I should speak Chinese ridiculously for a year. Really excited. Here, we should fold a shopping bag with no break until the middle of January, 2015.
