August 13, 2010. It will definitely be a special day for me.
The same day ten years ago, I flied 15 hours from the other side of the earth to this completely unfamiliar country. It was my first international travel, and it was by myself. That day, when I looked down from my plane before it arrived at S airport and saw the land covered with continuous trees and plantations, I didn't know that I would stay in this country for so long. I also had no idea that it is the birthday of someone who is so important in my life.
August 13, 2000. I came to the United States of America, as a first year Ph.D. student. My plan was to finish my study as soon as possible and fly all the way back.
Well, sometimes, you are not the only one entitled to manipulate your life.
2010年，8月13日。对于我，确实是个特别的日子。
10年前的这一天，我从地球的另一边飞行了15个小时来到这个完全陌生的国家。那是我的第一次跨国旅行，独自一人。那天，当飞机快达到S机场时，我从飞机上看到这片被连绵不绝的树和植物覆盖的土地时，我并不知道我将会在这个国家逗留这么长时间。也完全没有想到，这一天，是一个在我生命里非常重要的人的生日。
2000年8月13日，我抵达美国，开始我的博士学习。我那时的计划是，尽快完成学业，然后飞回家去。
有时候，你并不是唯一能操纵你生命的力量。
