Loneliness

Frequently, I am asked a certain question when students observe that I am divorced and living alone in China. Although they don't ask me directly if I'm divorced, they inquire about my family, and I tell them the truth. The question is whether or not I experience loneliness sometimes. The answer is affirmative. Everyone can feel lonely at times, especially when they are far away from their loved ones. Nonetheless, my life in China is quite satisfactory, and the positives outweigh the negatives, which is why I renew my contract to stay an additional year.

In light of this, you may now understand why some of my other articles discuss the advantages of dating during one's college years. I got divorced because I couldn't compel my wife to stay, but if you end up alone by your own decision, you have no one to blame. Blaming someone else does not resolve the problem, but at least I wasn't responsible for my own misery.

The images in this article were taken at the beginning of the Labor Day holiday, which will last five days (from Saturday to Wednesday). On the Friday evening before the first day of the holiday was when these pictures were taken, the university campus start to resemble a ghost town, as you can see in the pictures (most students went back home to spend the holiday with their families). At the end of the day, when I return back home, I am always by myself. So, think about this when you believe it will never happen to you; it's just a reflective thought. I wish everyone a pleasant holiday
