He thinks he need make money first and married second, so he have me when he was 46 years old. I think if I can’t live with my children long time, I think it’s a bad thing.

Yesterday, I heard a so sad news , my best friend’s neighbor, who was a 17 years old high school student, she want to go to a drawing class, but her mother think it’s too expensive, so this student thinks her family is very poor, then she jumped into HuangPu River and she died. They found her 3 days later, and find her on the pier码头 / shore 岸边.

If I can’t give my children the best quality of life, I will not have children. I am the perfect example, because my father didn’t marry for love, my grandfather wanted him to be married to he marry, so he got married. He thinks he needs to make money first and marry later, so he had me when he was 46 years old. I think if I can’t live with my children for a long time, I think it’s a bad thing.
