I got a negative message from my daughter last night, she told me she was so missing Shanghai because of the boring life at school . Next month she is going back from school for the holiday,and she said she wants to eat the hot pot at while arriving at the airport. I also know the school in a small town at where the life is simply and no colorful. I really wanted to tell her that it was your choice but I closed my mouth and didn’t say anything. I remembered When I was in Japan and had same feeling at some point, and also it is hard for her at this age to enjoy the life alone . I think it was the most important part of study for her with the growing, For me I could do the thing which is waiting and with the enough patience.

I got a negative message from my daughter last night, and she told me she was really missing Shanghai because of the boring life at school . Next month she is going to come back from school for the holiday, and she said she wants to eat the hot pot immediately after arriving / as soon as she arrives at the airport. I also know the school in a small town where the life is simple and not colorful. I really wanted to tell her that it was your choice but I closed my mouth and didn’t say anything. I remembered When I was in Japan and had the same feeling at some point, and also it is hard for her at this age to enjoy the life alone . I think it was the most important part of study for her with her growing up, For me the only thing I can do is wait and have enough patience.
