Baked Bean and Tofu

My niece Zhi Ying is coming to my house after school for the time being .

When my sister is not free , I will be buying her daughter's lunch .

In order to make my job easier and I make sure I won't buy the wrong food for her . I need her to list out some of the food that she does not like to eat . They are bitter gourd , steamed egg, luncheon meat, chickenn , beef , mutton , fish, pork and no spicy food.

The second choices are cabbage ,kangkung（蕹菜）, mustard green （菜心）and hotdog（热狗）and fried egg.

So, what is the food that she eats ?

She only takes baked beans , tofu and sweet & sour pork (咕噜肉）. You can only buy her packed lunch in these 3 dishes , everyday ! What a bored meal ! But ，she still like them as they are there.

无言的道别 - Leaving Without Saying Goodbye

“...........................”

惟有采取这种方式和你道别

我已搬离那座繁华都会

那座你也住在里边的城市
潜意识里很想和你不期而遇

却害怕真正遇到你的那一霎

惟有走开

没有回头

没有留恋

从此过着

“不会遇到你”的日子。

“想你我是沙滩上擦肩而过的陌路人，

以两种异样的跫音，

踏响这世界的冷漠，

之后，总走不到相逢处。”

《陌路》钟晓阳
