The earthquake - part 2

Chicken ass and milk tea as the food to calm me down after the earthquake

Oh my god! Are you kidding me?! There was another earthquake again, just when I have my dinner in front of my laptop! How coincident! I was watching the comedy “everyone loves Raymond.” It was just episode 3 of season 1. In the scene, Raymond is giving a speech in a funeral. Crab!

When it was shaking, the kids outside of my window started to yell and scream. I found out they thought it was fun because most of them didn’t experience the 921 before (They still talked about 921. I guess they heard it from their parents only). Maybe I should go outside now. At least, I can try to get together with people. XD That’s right! I am in Nantou.

Ha~ I came back from the campus. There are some kids who taken the program of night angel (sort of). But those kids are superior to their classmates; they have the chance to get into this free ‘cram school.’ Based on this point, we kept talk that we have to do something for the kids who are disadvantaged. However here, only those kids who are the best in their class have the chance to learn more. The reason I supposed is that they can have higher possibility to compete with the kids in the city. In the capitalism country (not that much), Taiwan, it is really important to send the best kids to get into the best universities in Taiwan. After that, the kid can come back to serve in their village. Sigh~ It’s not fair. Luckily, there are more and more citizens around Taiwan are willing to come here to help them out, like me! Ha! No la! I am just doing my duty for my country only.

I want to share a really touched thing happening to me 10 minutes before. When I met those kids who stayed outside of the classrooms, they said to me that they are afraid the earthquake so much. I said to them: “You don’t need to worry about that! Since I am taller than you all, I can support the ceiling to let all of you to go out!” Surprisingly, one kid shouted out that “Teacher Liu, you can’t die!!” Another one said: “You should run first because there are many kids (including him), we will protect you!” Oh…… I almost tear out in that moment! Where can I find the kids who have this kind of kind spirit? It’s only a year for me, maybe I can make it to be an important year for them and me. I wish!
