How beautiful your smile is
|
"Did you smile today?" Ah, in fact, this is a note written by my roommate pasting on the wall of our house. Everytime i see this smiling face in the note, i cannot help smiling.
Dear, you never know how beautiful you are when you smile sincerely and happily. Today, i was deeply impressed by two smiling faces. Everyday, i need to walk 5-10minutes to get to the bus stop. This morning on my way to the bus stop, when i passed by a shoes booth, i was moved by a woman's smiling, she was fixing shoes for other people with a serious attitude. Though she earns so little, what a amazing thing, she was happy. To tell you the truth, i knew her for a long time, because this woman was from the same place with me, what a coincidence, both of us two from Gongan County. You know, when you're far away from home, you know a fellow-villager outside, that's really a happy thing, cause it means i'm not alone here, i have our people there.
I think our Hubei words is very easy to understand, not like cantonese. I came here more than half year, i was still at sea when they chat something. So long as a Hubei guy speak here, i can rightly recognize that he is my fellow-villager, maybe from Jingzhou, maybe from Xiantao, maybe from Tianmen, maybe from Wuhan and so on. I know there is some bad words about our Hubei people in the society, such as there has a bird with nine heads in the sky, there has a Hubei guy in the earth(天上九头鸟，地上湖北佬). On the one hand, it means we are shrewd, on the other hand, it means we are smart, not stupid. However, this is just an old saying, i think our Hubei guys are good. Of course, every place has its good people and bad people. Once there had some people asked like "Are you a northerner or southerner?" What kind of question it is? We are central. Divided by Yangtze river, half of Hubei is north, half is south. As one of the three furnaces cities, Wuhan always has unbearable high temperature in the summer, Wuhan people's personality is hot like the fire, they are impatient and always speak with a loud voice. Now Wuhan city also has another nickname, that is "Plugging city(堵城)" Twenty to thirty minutes' traffic jam is nothing, like potluck, always happen in the rush hours. The hot-tempered bus driver always curse people like "Son of bitch". Seemed it was their pet phrase.
In a word, Hubei people can be mild like southerners, and they can be wild like northerners. Though our Hubei province is not strong compared with eastern province, there is a long way and a lot of potential for her to develop. So if you have time and chance, do come to Hubei for a visit. Visit our Yellow Crane Tower, our museum, our East lake, our universities and go to HuBu lane to taste our hot-and-dry noodles and blunt-snout bream and duck neck. Of course welcome you guys to be a guest to Jingzhou.
Seems i'm totally deviating from my subject. If this is a exam, i think i would be get a zero score. Never mind, i just write it for fun, and i also don't want to change my title. Thanks for your reading, and any mistakes i made here, welcome you guys to point out here, many thanks!

- Great. I always thought that the man who work seriously was the most handsome and beautiful. Such as you said the smile. Every city has her own culture and foods. I like to taste cate. After reading your blog, Hubei was a good choice to taste her foods. I'll take it into account. By the way, your writing was concise and clear, very good!
