The advantage of living in the dormitory is that I have two roommates who can talk face to face. It will also become more convenient to play games. I won’t feel lonely here. But the biggest disadvantage of living in the dormitory is that it is not as comfortable as at home, because you have to consider the feelings of your roommates.

My favorite movie is a Chinese Odyssey directed by Liu Zhenwei. The stars are Stephen Chow and Anne Chu. It is divided into two parts, Pandora’s Box and Cinderella. The first time I saw it as a kid, I just thought it was funny. I have seen this movie many times over and over again, and I used to think it was also a sad movie. But when you really understand this movie, you will find that it is more deeply rooted in the helpless.
