I am one of them.
When the hostess first came to New York, the woman in red on the boat told her that at first, you would feel that there would be a long, long interval between family letters, but then you no longer feel that way. Thanks to the advancement of science and technology, now there are a series of high-tech tools such as WeChat, which allow me to communicate with my family and friends quickly and conveniently, but I believe that the sense of loneliness has not changed at all. In the beginning, every moment of being alone needs to be digested by myself, even though I have always determined that I am an independent person, but now I turn to what I wrote when I first came to the United States, every word in it is screaming: resist loneliness! You need to rely on shouts and reminders to carry the past time, how can it not be lonely?
The female protagonist who just started to work was not satisfactory at work. I believe that the winter in New York at that time was colder than the cold of loneliness. When I received the first letter from the family, she cried, and I felt a little bit cried. For her at that time, a letter from the family was like the only lifeboat in the bitterly cold sea, and the flames in the dark were like smelling the familiar scent of mother in a certain place one day. When you come back to your senses, nothing has changed, strange or unfamiliar, everything is unknown, after the excitement, the yearning for the familiar life will suddenly swallow you.
Seeing the heroine's earnest efforts in class at night school, she can still see herself. Feeling that the opportunity to study in the United States is hard-won, I have repeatedly warned myself not to waste time, try different types of courses, and get in touch with new things, for fear that I will be too idle to let down the good time. Even the weekends have to be filled, and staying at home for a long time feels like a waste of time.
At the end of the film, when the heroine faces the decision of whether to stay in her hometown or return to New York, I repeatedly reminded her (and broken her heart) that everything in her hometown now is to thank you for your experience in the United States. Without this experience, even if time goes back, none of this will happen. Just like the original post, when talking about the changes brought about by studying abroad, I remember one sentence very clearly, that is, no matter what studying abroad brings you, you will never go back.
Yes, there is no if. Not just studying abroad, all experiences will never let you go back to the past. It is all experiences that shape who you are now. In any case, don't forget why you want to leave.
The hostess was very lucky and met someone who liked each other. Then inevitably, I also thought of a person. It’s a pity that we are not together, and I’m very happy that I don’t think of you as often as I did at the beginning, so that I don’t have to bother my friends and save tears and sadness. But I still want to thank you. I think I liked you so much. One of the reasons is that you light up my loneliest moment. Because of you, all the lonely and hard times have become cute. Because of you, I have a lot of happiness in my ordinary life.
I hope that all those who work hard for their dreams are happy, and they deserve this happiness.
