Autobiography Chapter 4: The Days When I Didn't Want To Go Home

31 December 1995

I am a type of person that likes being with friends more than with family. This might not have much to do with my family. My father and mother often had to go back to Hong Kong to work, leaving only my sister and servants to be with me at home. That's why it was rather deserted. It always made me feel that there wasn't any feeling of closeness. So at that time I often didn't want to go back home. It was such a rare opportunity for me to be able to lodge in the school in the sixth year. This to me was a very good thing.

I still remember in the past we loved to cook noodles in the lodge at 3 in the night. That life of living without worries and now when I have to be busy with work all the time. And I'm frequently being chased for news by the media, I can't even breathe because of the pressure. When I think back, it particularly makes me cherish the memories.

These friends are still studying in Canada now. I wonder without me how they are doing now? Apart from this, lodging cultivated my nature of independence. Because daily life at home, food and drink, I had to look after myself. There were a lot of things I had to deal with by myself. These hard to get training, made me no longer rely on others. It helped a lot with my going to Japan to receive training in the future.

Maybe it was because of my nature is very active and restless, that's why in all the subjects. My PE results were often the best. I was also once chosen to be in the basketball team. And other athletics that I was good at were swimming, tennis, track and field, etc...As for asking if I ever got any medals? This one of course cannot be missed! And my results were usually in the BC (British Columbia) records. For instance our 4X1000 relay, was only 0.06 seconds away from breaking the BC records. Besides this, the area of high jump. I got the result of third place in BC before.

And talking about the subject I hated most, I believe it has to be history. I don't understand, history is things that have already passed, it should have nothing to do with the present. So why do we still have to study it? It really makes it hard to understand for people.

To the tenth year, I went back to Hong Kong to study, I went into a Hong Kong international school. But I only studied there for half a year. The reason was because after I came back I immediately caught the media's attention. In newspapers there were often articles about me. Because of this it caused dislike from the headmaster. He even once asked me face to face: "Are you actually being a star now, or a student?" But the thing that was most difficult for me to take was that a certain newspaper said I often had fights with other people. And they said I was part of the triads. Even more over the line was that they posted a picture of the headmaster as a front page. It immensely damaged the school's prestige. To avoid from continuing to affect the school I could only decide to drop out. Temporally leave this place of gossip. I flew to phoenix in America to continue the education I had not finished.
