20. My Classmates as my friends

Wen-juan, Yi-wen, Mei-Lin and I



When I was studying, the girls had to live together on campus. First grade, my classmate friends had got into four sisters, I'm the oldest, Mei-ling is the second one, Yi-wen is the third one, and Wen-juan minimal age as last. But Wen-juan was got married firstly, she married our teacher at chemical engineering, then they went to the United States; and then Yi-wen got married second and she married to the business boss; after Mei-lin married to her colleagues in the chemical company, Mei-lin and Yi-Wen had both invited me to be a maid of honor, and then for me, I am a happy single missionary and serve my Jesus in overseas.

First grade, I like Bear, she looked so beautiful, and very fluent in English, but my math and chemistry were very good, then I could teach her. But she liked Ami, gradually, they became the good friends; then Wenjuan had her best friend, and how about me? I had gone to the church. After that, I got along with the male students in the class, they were best friends that time, we had an old class leader, he was five years, there were three years as our class leader, and there were other male students as the same class, we went to natural pool for swimming, or biking to the northern part, because the female students, most of them had the boyfriends, I found that male students was very simple and very sense of righteousness.

Once, my male classmates had been visited to my church by me, then I was very excited, my Pastor who praised me. But I had only prayed for them before meeting for thirty minutes, and they all came.

O God! Thank you! Give me the good classmates; I did not blank in my youth. Youth was very nice!

19. Chemical Engineering Genius

Hong Kong Skating on Wheels



I entered Junior College, my most subjects were not good, only chemical was a single good show, on the first test, I got 94 points, I was being certainly by the teacher, but also by other chemical teachers gave me certainly. When I took the test each time with hundred points, my teacher only registered 99 points. Then I was keen on mathematics, chemistry, and experiments were all very interested in; I hoped that I would become an outstanding scientist.

As for the Chinese, English and some memorized subjects, my scores could only  pass them, and my study was the designed work, generally the girls were not keen on the science, maybe I was an exception, my last two years at Junior College, I was often before the examination, I taught the classes, because I had already finished study, and then I could help others, but also I had reviewed again, why not?

God was in my life, was there a plan? At that time I did not know? But I knew there must be a God in charge for all.

18. Admitted to Junior College for the 100 Taiwan Dollars

Hong Kong Port



My brother had a tutor, and my mother said; "His tutor can lend me for two weeks and I help to prepare for my exam." This tutor had taught me the KK phonetic spelling in English because I could not, I often relied on the memorize the letters by one letter to another one, during two weeks time, I loved reading English words, as I had got the treasure in the earth.

Junior College entrance examination came; no one would give me stress, my family tutor said to me; "As long as I can be admitted to Junior College, he will give me a hundred Taiwan dollars." I worked for the hundred dollars; and I studied hard, after the results of examination, I got into the five-year Junior College. My total score was enough, but Chinese subject lost by two points, I was not admitted to Medical College as a nurse. I won a hundred dollars from my younger brother's tutor's pocket, and I also studied another junior college's Department of Chemical Engineering.

It is very good!

17. Crying Power

Since I could remember, I loved crying. My mom went back to clinic as a nurse, I was crying for several days, until my mother had given his work up, then she went home to be a full-time mother.

This effort, I was often under the pressure of the grievance which would be released naturally. And I remembered I was in Chang - An Junior High school, there was a girl from my class, she came to school late, and she said; "Her grandfather had a car accident." We heard her reasons; but I burst into tears on that spot, as if my grandfather general. Because l was full of emotion, then often compiled some of the sadness story for a city, then let myself to cry; I have often said; "So touch me!" I like the Bible, David, is the emotional fellow, very few people would read Psalms crying, but I cry, and I will overflow out without reservation.

On the mission fields, I also cry frequently, it gives me the strength to move forward. Crying, there is all the pressure which can be released. A missionary teacher said; "crying of the missionaries are reducing depression or pressure." And I think that I was soft inside, but tough outside, but a good cry, it will be appeared my meek and gentle, and we need the Lord Jesus who comfort us. When I have stress, but also I pretend that I am strong, I am so easy to hide my problems. After period of time, I am easy to get sick. I had cried well, so that I have had power to overcome in mission field for 19 years (until 2010), it might be an emotional outpouring cry; it is a good way to release stresses.

Crying is very effective for me, how about you?
