VIP Class Notes (Jesse) [W]

I took 2 more days leave during this Labor Day holiday in order to go back Wuhan to visit my parents which was my hometown.

I spent 5 days to stay in Wuhan and had a wonderful holiday there. Since last time I saw my parents, it had already been more than one year. I missed them very much. I left them when I came to Shanghai to go to the university. After I graduated from the university, I chose to work in Shanghai. So I don’t have much chance to stay with my parents. Usually I see them once or twice a year. It’s cherished when I visit them every time.

In first two days, my nephew also went back to my parents home. So he was the super star in the big family. All the adults was focused on him. What he liked to eat? Where he wanted to go to? Why he wasn’t happy?Took care and hung out with him whole day, that could be exhausted. He had a very good appetite, can’t stop eating. He ate food very fast as if the food just jumped into his throat directly. WOW! How Magic! If there was his favorite food, he didn’t allow others to eat. All were his, he ate all up. I think my parents over spoil him, and it’s bad for shaping his personality. Kids education is a big problem in China.
