Live

At the last six months of my life, I will first get a cat for accompany in case late at night I suddenly feel too scarred and lonely about facing death.  During these six months, I will try to be as authentic as possible to everyone I meet, not worrying if what I say is appropriate at the occasion. I will work myself into the habit of reading everyday instead of wasting my time on technologies. I will tell my family and friends how grateful I am for every moment that they have spent with me and how much I love them. And I will give my closest ones a wish that I am able to fulfill in these last months. For the first two months, I will travel to every place that I wish to be in person. I will go gliding in Swiss because I have always wanted to feel how it is like to fly in the sky. I also want to try sky diving above ocean, to feel the weightlessness and freedom embraced by blue above and below. Then I will go to Greenland, living in a world of snow which there never is any in where I have settled. In Greenland, I will also be able to enjoy a vast sky full of bright stars and aurora. During my journey, I will meet a lot of new friends and send postcards to my old friends. For the next two months, I will stay in my hometown, Guangzhou, try various jobs and spend days like a normal grown up. I will learn to cook a lot of dishes from my mother and grandmother and treat my family. I will explore every corner of Guangzhou, which is too close and too familiar for me to explore into deeply. For the last two months, I want to spend it in Japan with my family, with no specific plan everyday and just wander around as I wish. It is too hard to say goodbye to this world.

  1. If I have time, I also want to go to Greenland! I like that you want to explore your hometown, Guangzhou, and make food for your family. At the last moment of my life, I also want to stay with my family and friends.

  2. Do not try to be authentic to others; try to be authentic to yourself. And if it is possible, when I go to Guangzhou, please take me to some good restaurants.
