A pair of shoes
Hot 4 |
Look at the picture, this is the gift to Tiger from one of staff Xiao Li at his company, as I know this is the second shoes from Li’s mother, at the last year, I saw a shoe putting the shoe cabinet at home for long time, it looks cheaper one, I did not know where it was from, I though it is possible Tiger buy it from the local market that I am always unhappy to pitch him up, due to the limitation of the cabinet so I threw it away by my careless, because of this, Tiger was always blame me and asked me find it back anyhow. I cannot believe being a boss who wearing such cheaper shoes.
After this Spring Festival Tiger was holding other new shoes the same as the first one and warning me repeatedly, don’t throw away again, my dear darling, this is a traditional handmade shoes, look at the sole of shoes, a single needle and a single tread to make it for one week, even it is not as soft as I thought maybe it is wear well, then I have seen it carefully and taking out the shoe-pad, there is a meaningful with Chinese character Luck in red and a couple mandarin duck, Tiger told me Li is from Shan Xi province, where is a mountainous area, but still remain and keep the manual works for living, this festival he was back home asked his mother special make the shoes for Tiger, as he said, it is the most of comfortable shoes and relaxing compare with others, not because of he is seeking the ancient way.
Ok, anyway I will keep it as the cherish goods at home.

- Everyone have their own taste and preference. Some of those preferences seems strange and hard for us to understand, so we should not interfere with the choice of others.
I myself also have a preference to some traditional products. They just seem to be better than the modern ones. I am not old fashioned type of person and I can be trendy, modern and up to date depending on the occasions.
You are quite considerate to understand that you carelessly thrown away things which he treasure. You respect his preference. That is how good relations are kept instead of confronting each other. Hope you have a happy time together.

- Actually, I always dress simply, and never care about too much. For, there is an old Chinese saying :"If life is in a too ease way, the job will be dragged down by life."
Handmade things are very expensive , and often are comfortable to wear or use. You don't do that on purpose, so Tiger knew, and tell you the reason why this time. The shoes are really beautiful and charming in some way. I guess that it will be very comfortable to put them on.
Thanks for sharing your story, and I am here to expect more.

- Such a pair of shoes could be comfortable to wear and very popular in old time. I just did not wear them when I was very young in school, I still remembered some fellas wore them to go to school. Surely, years later, people chose to wear more fashionable shoes, and now we are more affordable to nice and good look shoes.
With such a pair of shoes would be still great. They can be found in some special shoes counters in market, though they are rarely to attractive to people. Especially those which are made manually are not so cheap to buy, they also cost some money which are deserved to the pay since they are really comfortable to wear.
What is more, a boss also can wear some economical and simple style of clothes and shoes.
I also wear some of those which are qualified enough to wear, unless there is important meetings and some other activities, I have to wear my smart suits and leather shoes. I just choose to wear something ordinary.
