Tree-Hole: Voice from Water

About home, I think ......


As long as one is clear about what the goal is and works towards it, one will feel that wherever one is, home will be there .


Many people might believe that they need to meet in person and have dinner together, that they need companionship and communication or warmth, and that they need to have someone around to take care of them when they are sick, and there is nothing wrong with that.


When it comes to make a choice, and you know that choice will be better for the future, the entire family is actually on the same side. There are pros and cons here. Maybe if you choose to be abroad and your parents are in China like I am now, they might be worried, but nowadays the internet does as much as it can to make up for the care of not being able to see each other.


What I want to do now is to settle down here as soon as possible and bring my parents over if I can, and then I think that's the ideal thing to do.




PART2


I had already decided to stay here after graduation before I came here. I still get a bit homesick when I'm on my own, but in general it's not very serious, after all I graduated and worked for a few years, and my parents are still healthy . I just get a bit worried about my parents during the pandemic and previously when there were floods and other natural disasters in some places. I talk to them regularly, and now my partner has come over with me, so overall it's fine.


Everything we're doing here is to benefit the whole family and eventually we' ll be able to bring our parents with us. So I think everything will be fine and will be on the right direction.


对于家这个话题,我自己觉得是……


我们其实在那里,你要是明确你自己的目标是啥子的时候,你所有的事情都在为那个方向而去努力的时候,你就会感觉到其实你在哪里,你的家就会在哪里,我自己是这样子认为的。


这是一方面。


当然说有可能很多人会觉得需要见面一起吃饭,需要陪伴交流或者是嘘寒问暖,生病的时候旁边还有人照顾,这些也是无可厚非的一些事情,我们是需要去处理。


但你如果要去做选择的时候,你也晓得这个选择会对未来更好的时候,其实全家人都站在一条线上,所以说有利有弊。可能你选择像我现在出国人在国外,然后父母都在国内的话,他们可能会有一些担心,但是现在的网络也尽量弥补了一些不能见面的关怀。

我现在想的就是尽快在这边定下来,可能的话就把父母接过来,然后我觉得这是最理想的状态。



Part2

在来之前就已经想好过来在这边上完学之后也想要继续在英国发展,然后在这边留下来。如果说想家的话应该一个人的时候偶尔还是会有点想,但是总体来说,毕竟自己毕业了很多年,然后上了班好几年,自己又在做事情,父母的话身体也还行,所以说也不会有太多的担心。


就是疫情期间或者是前一段时间,有些地方发洪水,然后有些自然灾害之类的,会有些担心父母那个地方会不会也出现一些问题,然后我会定期跟他们沟通和交流,然后现在我的家属也过来陪着我一起,所以说总体来说都还好。


然后我们在这边所做的所有事情,其实也是为了让这个家更好以后能做到一个更好的方向去上去发展,然后后面也可以接父母一起过来之类的,所以说就会觉得一切都还好,都会朝自己想要的方向去。
