My Neighborhood
In my memories, I have so many favorite places. However, one place is important to me and that influenced my whole life from childhood until right now. It is a temple-Shaolin Si of my childhood.
Right now, I live in the U.S.A., some tine meet some of challenges, but I can strong up, that main reason is the temple-Shaolin Si gave me a lot of support which spirit in my heart.
I remember when I was a young child just seven years old, I went to school on the way, I always taken a watching on the Shaolin Si where I respected. Shaolin Si is a well-known place in the world. When people talk about it that first one is Chinese Gong Fu, but so many people don’t know it original from Kaifeng city, Henan. In my childhood, I really don’t know that I just saw a golden place on the sun, it was shining and so many people from China and other countries visiting it, such like they to the farm market, they burned the stick paper and make a wash, the smoke became some cloud that coming from the Temple, I saw them had a red face when they left the temple. I felt so proud of Shaolin Si because it gave the world a place to visit and that gave them support of spirit else.
When I do something and meet some problems, I have courage by the temple; When I had difficult time, I would think shaolin Si; When I need more time to study, I would say some words to the temple.
Shaolin Si is my neighborhood of mother place in my whole life. I will remember and respect it forever! — Chen, xinqing
