Never forget your school friends
June is always a sad time for Senior 3 students. After taking the big test, they depart (分离) to pursue (追求) their dreams in different ways. It's a hard time when students have to say goodbye to carefree (无忧无虑的) high school days and close friends.
People always say that teenage friendships are the most precious. Kids are too young to understand real friendship while adults tend to (容易) relate it to fame and wealth.
Things are different with high school best friends. We share each other's secrets. We discuss news from all walks of life and begin to shape our values. We support each other on the journey to the biggest challenge in our lives. We also share success and failure. The seeds of friendship become deeply rooted.
Many of us don't realize this until we enter society. One of my friends, Yang Ping, experienced how strong the bond (联系) with high school friends can be. "It was my high school friend who helped me get through the darkest days in my life," said the 27-year-old.
In 2001 Yang lost her job in Beijing. Yang's best friend was staying in a college dormitory and took her in. Each night the two girls squeezed (挤) into a narrow single bed, chatting and crying. "I'll never forget her care and encouragement, which supported me out of the darkness," said Yang.
I still remember my last days in Senior 3. At the time, I exchanged a 20-page message with my best friend, both of us hoping to keep the friendship going forever.
But we didn't realize we were already deep in each other's heart. During the past 10 years, whenever I've needed help or wanted to pour out my unhappiness, she has always been there at the other end of a telephone line.
It is true that friends come and go. But never forget the ones who have been there for you. Take a closer look at those now around you, they could be the most precious treasure you discover in your entire (完整的) life.
