Hello everyone! I am also becoming a Blogger today, the reason for which is because it is part of my IECP reading class (4B) requirements at Penn State. It sounds a lot of fun, and now here I am.
To begin with, here is a brief intro to myself. I was born in a small village in Henan, China in the 1980's. My parents were, are and will be peasants there, because they have been used to the rural lifestyle and it's hard for them to move. They just love that piece of land.
By God's grace, I was able to accomplish my primary school in my village, my middle school in the township, my high school in the county seat, my college in Beijing, and now my study here at State College, PA, US.
State College is a tiny peaceful beautiful college town located in Happy Valley with mountains rolling around. Although the winter season runs from late October to late April (half a whole year!!), I do love snow. When snow melts, spring that everyone loves is finally here with countless trees, bushes, and grasses blooming everywhere and all kinds of birds singing around. Pity that spring is always transient and here we are in summer. The summer in State College is lovely and never as hot as back in my home village. While you are still enjoying the sunshine and the shade of trees, you will be embraced by the colorful fall season soon. Fall is just like a second spring. If you read Chinese, you will definitely appreciate how fascinating the fall season is! (霜叶红于
二月花=The frost-beaten leaves are more crimson than spring blooms.) Anyway, enjoy wherever you are and whatever you have for now.
Besides the class blog posting, I think I will use this blog for a space of journal writing and a place of idea exchanges in the future. Please stop by whenever you think about me and just want to say hi to me, or when you are idling and would like to drop me a line or two. So much for today, bye now. Have a good one! :-)
