A whole period passed without any trace of written history here. Why? History may serve as the source for feelings of missing. I am like a helpless ostrich burying his sensitive head in sand. I can't even believe that so many years of growing up and maturing has not enabled me to outgrow of this action. Maybe it is deeply rooted in my personality and character. Who knows.

     Finally, I said farewell to my friends at the EC, who gathered for a special night for my departure. Also, this is the farewell to my twenty-year campus life and the identity of a student. I postponed my graduation. But I even have a mischievously hilarious satisfaction of my delay, constrasting to my classmates' depression and pressure. I believe this is because this twist somehow enables me to see my friends longer. Then I began traveling for long distance between university and my company every day. How many times that I trudged wearily back from office and struggled to open my sleepy eyes to come to EC to meet my friends. But once I was talking with my friends at EC, I could be readily refreshed and animated. The tiresomeness and the heavy heart from days' demanding work could disperse in a sencond. I believe this is the magic of English corner.

      My friends at English corner are changing all the time. However, there are some who remains in my life. Every one of them is the dearest and nearest. All the small talks, all the jokes and humors, all the personal sharing of secrets and distress are really the  cohesion of our friendship.

      My friends at EC: you are the reason why I am so happy that I am delayed in my graduation (which should be a shame and burdon for normal students), you are the reason why I wanted to linger on campus as long as I could, you are the reason why I still perceive the world from a non-sophisticated and non-cynical perspective, you are the reason why the EC is full of magic, fantacy and animation for me, you are the reason that my compus life ended with magnificent enrichment and wonderful sunset. I do not want to say farewell to you 'cause you will always be in my life.
