A Summary of the Previous Adventure

Yesterday I came across T. Y. Liu on QQ, and she asked me at what time I sleep most of the night. I said, "12:00 p.m is quite early, while 2:00 a.m. is quite late for me." She appeared to be quite surprised and concerned, said, "Why the hell do you sleep so late!" She added later, "It's not like in Zhuhai, you're so far from your home and family! You have to take good care of yourself!" I replied, "Okay, that's for the concern from my dearest sister :) I'll handle that myself!" However, "I was thinking to myself", it had been already several times when I stayed up until 3 a.m. Due to the lack of sleep, I felt so tired on the night of Tuesday that I took a nap at 10 p.m., woke up by 12:30, and stayed up until 3. Due to this, I woke up the next morning to find it has already been almost 10 and I'd missed the lecture already, so I just skipped it. What I wanna say is, that's definitely not the only outrageous thing I'd done these days.

There was a somewhat TV series, in which there was such lines. A man yelled to his mistress, who asked him to be "responsible" and to marry her. He said, "I'm a man. I need adventure. I need to something new and exciting. I wish each day, each hour, would be lived differently from before! I want each minute and each second to be different from before, do you understand!" I'm not intended to find myself a mistress(though I'll not reject fooling around with some other students), nor do I have any interest in prostitute, but I totally agree with his words about the nature of man. I hold this as self-evident, that all man are born to explore and to adventure. A man should never be satisfied, at least in youth, with what he has learned, see, and experienced. Instead, he should endeavor to try what he has never tried.

Explores, as well as adventures, might be risky, but for men, ultimate delight always comes along with risk. Learn to face the risk and to deal with risk is the required course for each male student in the university of life.

I'm a scientist, at least planning to be one. Do you remember how the outstanding scientists in the Terran force report to the army? It's "Explorer reporting!" All the scientists are born to be explorers, to explore the secrets of this universe we live in, to explore the regions that is unknown to man, or to explore dangerous aliens buried in the ground.

I long for exploring, I long for adventure, I long for attempting things I've never done before, legal and illegal (drug is an exception, of course!).

However, one thing about her word is right, "It is not like Zhuhai", it is not like China, it is not like that my parents can control my behavior, and that's why I can do these outrageous things, and that's why I enjoy the life here, so much.

Zhuhai is a city I've lived in for two years, but I've not explored it much, nor has this city got anything worthing exploring. There were something new and exciting for me during the first semester, and I still remember the days when I did all those I've never done in high school, like play turant and skip classes, like have long chats with Racoon all night long, like visit Shenzhen along with him by sea. Those are just so exhilarating! However, that was still Mainland, and new things were, after all, relatively little. What's more, I hade to report all these to my parents, and I had to think before doing things they would probably disagree. I stopped doing those by November, 2005, partly because the depression of my first failure in relationship. Each day is the same as before. Eating the same food, sleep on the same bed, studying seven to ten hours day after day. Should it not be the classes, I'm afraid I could have lost the concept of date already.

There was one of my favorite porn novels called The Enslaver of Dragons, in which there were such words about one of the dragons, who became the mistress of the hero, "Her life before can be simply summarized into seeking for food, flying, fighting with dragons that incur her dislike, occasionally killing bandits near her lair. The life now is so fresh, strange and interesting, and what'll happen in next minute is completely unpredictable. Before that, even if the God of Creation, the God of Fate, or even the God of Dragon tell her themselves that she'll fall in love with a human, she would rather think that these gods are nuts. However, if she's gonna be back to the dull life before, she would rather die."

That is exactly the same feeling of mine. And that's why I love the life in Hong Kong.
