I can’t express how pleasure I feel now. For what? Tomorrow is China National Day Celebration! My vacation has started from this moment. Yes, I have a plan, exactly, I’m a participator in it. My father descide to have a car-trip with my mother, uncle, sister-in-law and I. Our destination is XuZhou city in JiangSu province, which is bounded on the south by ShanDong province and on the north by AnHui province.

After discussion, we gonna visit every city we crossed, one is my father’s home town, TaiZhou. Ultimately we will be present on a big wedding, on which we can feel pure and real Chinese traditional custom. For a citizen of a modern city always watch some local activities on TV. Father tells me on XuZhou we’ll see a palanquin held by 8 men（Chinese call it八抬大轿）, the brides sit on the chair in it, many local residents are playing are playing the trumpets and gongs, guarding bridegroom and his wife to their new home. What a colorful and exciting thing! Its meaning is better far more the celebration. I mean is more meaningful watching some programs in front of TV.

After this trip, I gonna host an activities on October 7th, on which I and my friends will try our best to help our foreign friends to understand Chinese ancient history so as to play better a game, 三国杀(You’ll know that by my article “a pleasant day”). I believe we can know more about our own culture, at same time gain more confidence. As an Chinese, our confidence comes from understanding ourselves. There’re long history, broad custom, deep and mystical culture, countless stories and idioms about our country. Most of those we knew isn’t enough good, and our guests from different culture they know less more than us！What a wonderful opportunity to show ourselves! To prove ourselves’ worth, Chinese maybe appears shy or modest at a time, but we haven’t ever lost confidence as an Chinese！

The third thing, I have to share, studying at ONLY college leaves some impressive prints in my heart. I resume my student life. I find some problems and weakness on my personality, while I put myself in high-pressure studying atmosphere. Laziness, shortages on living and communication, no rule …I really feel full at this school, many things are waiting me to arrange, organize, finish. But it’s too late to write more, I have to stop.
