Under the one child policy in China, my nine-month-younger cousin became my closest blood-related "brother".  We were always together when we were little.  We were watching cartoons and imitating the characters in the cartoons together; we were laughing at each other because of the silly things we did; we were playing all kinds of games together; we were traveling together......  Some of them I cannot remember very clearly, but when I was looking at these pics, all kinds of happy feeling came to my mind, and I could not stop smiling in my heart.  What a happy and simple childhood we had!

 

Suddenly, I realise how much I had grown up.  When my cousin are already working in the his field, when some of my friends in China got married, when I start to search for my job, when my mom begins to tell me to find a right one for myself, when the topic between some of my friends in China become work and marriage, I begin to realize that I am not a small little girl anymore.  Then I start to wonder what kind of life I really want.  A career I like belongs to myself and a family I love with my beloved man and children...  we will go travel once a while...  we will have family dinner together...  we will share the most intimate things in the family...  we will have an arguement sometimes...  we will face the difficulties together...  we will take care of each other's parents together...   live happily-ever-after...  I guess that is my dream for my life, nothing fancy, but very comfory.  I hope my dream will come ture someday.  At that time, I can show this article to my children when they face their cross and tell them: "See, you mom did it, so will you; just keep working hard, don't lose faith in yourself, don't give up, and you will get the kind of life you like."
