9 Years, Back Again

Putuo Mountain, the Buddhist mountain located off the east shore of the city of Ninbo, is one of the mountains that I really loved. I have been there once in 1997...The golden sun and shining beach are the precious memories that left in my head. Whenever I thought of this, I couldn't help but began to smile. This time, with my special one, I went there for the second time, and I was hoping to find my good old days back again and enjoy my time there...

 

Taking the bus to the island is not my first time, and I am pretty into this kind of transportation. For one thing, you can be faster than the boat; for another, you can also go to the board and breathe in the sea wind. It took us 6 hours to get to Shenjiamen--the port of Zhoushan city. We stayed there for one night, and went to Putuo mountain the next day. This time, I didn't have the strong feelings as I did 9 years ago, partly because I suppose I am more mature or I am getting numb to this world. But walking along the sea shore in the evening and breathing in the sea wind are always my favorite part. I love the sea. It's the feeling from the depth of my soul. After dinner, we walked along the sea shore, talking and laughing...It's different from what I felt 9 years ago, but this is what I really want...Nothing's better.

 

In Putuo Mountain, we lived in the fisherman's house which is rented for the travellers, 50 RMB per person for one night. We dropped our baggage in the house, and went to the beach and climbed the rocky moutain. We had our meal in the temple...Most are good. We talked whatever we wanted to, and we laughed about everything that we came up with was funny. The journey is awesome, but being with someone that you are into is beyond the words that I can express. I felt I was the lucky one. But still, as a born worrier, I don't know where we are heading for, and I am not sure how far wer can go on this road. There are a lot of things that can move us along--love, understanding, compromises...Also there are lots of things which can seperate us apart--the reality, the truth...When I thought of this, I was a little bit afraid...I was afraid of losing, afraid of letting go, afraid of getting tired...I still don't know myself well.

 

Anyways, generally, the journey is the the journey that I wanted for years, and I cherish this good memories of this time...It's different, and it's unique...

 

Good time is always short, and I am back to where I was now. Right now, everything's getting back to normal...
