August 28, 1956 - Liu Paihua and Zhang Renbo

 Liu Paihua and Zhang Renbo

   Zhang Renbo brought a young lady to introduce to me last Saturday.  That was the same Miss Liu Paihua who came tonight.  Miss Liu currently teaches in Sandao Village.  The reason she was willing is that they are in same church.  It is Zhang Liang's purpose to introduce me to my girlfriend.  Besides work, what else is there to introduce me to?  They're all here tonight.  It's not like that when I look at it.  There seems to be a lot of truth in this.  I'll put this little secret in my heart.  I'll have to wait and see if the two of them come to tease me later because Zhang said that he was going to introduce us.  When Liu came, however, the two of them spoke too warmly.. I became a third wheel.  At 10:00, they left.  I gave them a ride to the bus stop.  Zhang asked me to please stay.  When they got on the bus, she didn't seem to have any expression on her face.  My mind is wondering why.  Is this the attitude of Miss H. K. or are there other reasons?  In the future, I need to pay special attention and avoid being looked down upon by others.  

August 27, 1956 - Road Festival at Wong Tai Sin

 Road Festival at Wong Tai Sin

   I heard Mr. Hong Yunong say that Mr. Li Guangyao came from Auhui a long time ago so I wanted to go see him as soon as possible.  Tonight, I went to meet him with Mr. Hong.  We passed Wong Tai Sin Street, turned right and walked a short distance.  There is a small church on the left-hand side called Lufahua Gospel Church.  When we arrived, there was a fat, old gentleman sitting inside the doorway enjoying the shade.  He turned out to be Ma Shengsheng, a very famous commissioner during the Auhui anti-Japanese war.  Mr. Ma told us that Mr. Li was not there but would be back later.  We all sat there and had a long conversation..  At 10:00 Mr. Li returned.  He is the director of our hall.  He's also a fat man.  He's not old, only 33 and was a member of the 4th graduating class of Lutheran Bible College in Tuning King Ridge.  Everyone talked for a long time.  I returned home witty Mr. Hong at 11:00.  Anhui compatriots do not often work in the Hong Kong church.  The only ones I know of are myself and, now, Mr. Li.  Whether there will be more in the future is unknown.  Preaching is not an easy task but it is also a difficult thing to do good work in the service of God.

August 25, 1956 - How to decide on a girlfriend

 How to decide on a girlfriend

  The situation in front of me, not knowing how to decide on a girlfriend, was giving me a headache.  From 8:00am to 3:00pm today, I was dealing with a lot of girls.  The three Miss Huong's played with me for a long time this morning.  The problem is that I'm not really satisfied with any one of them.  Two are my classmates.  One is a parishioner introduced to me by a friend.  Each has her own strengths. Although Miss Huong Yugin is not a classmate, I have known her for several months and I can say that I believe she would be a good wife and mother.  It's only in the morning that I get to deal with them individually.  At lunchtime today, the second young lady of the family next door openly sent me a bowl of wheat porridge.  She loves me and asked someone to tell me to accept her request.  At 2:00 this afternoon, Zhang Renbe brought Miss Niu Peihua here.  Miss Liu currently works in another church.  She was willing to find a job near where I work.  Miss Liu is naive, lively and very beautiful.  Faced with so many choices, how do I decide?  They all have their strengths.  In one respect, it can be said that each has her own merits.  I pray that I will be able to choose one.

August 24, 1956 - Love in Youth

Love in Youth

   Love is a God-sent affection.  Everyone has to go through this necessary process and I am no exception.  Love is a nerve-wracking thing.  In the past year, because of age and changing environment, the journey has been difficult.  

  Hong Kong is a world where there are more women than men.  There are few young people who are employed but not yet married.  For years, I've been surrounded by girls because my situation is a bit above average.  To this day, although there are good girls around me, I can say that not one of them has been ideal.  When it comes to need, it is a need but what stands in my way is my own nerve-wracking reason.  I am an amorous person.  I love every one of them but none of them stood out from the endless stream.   What is the right way to think about it?  I haven't slept well since last night.  My mental burden is too heavy.  As things stand, there are more than girls constantly on my mind.  Oh my God!  My spirit spends every day studying in church but there is also a  great burden of love.  God please solve it for me!

 

August 23, 1956 - The word "comrade" was used when I was a child. It was rarely used later on. In today's Communist state, it is the most popular term. The meaning of the word comrade indicates a person with the same aspirations so I thought of it again.

    The word "comrade" was used when I was a child.  It was rarely used later on.  In today's Communist state, it  is the most popular term.  The meaning of the word comrade indicates a person with the same aspirations so I thought of it again.  

   Tonight, after Mr. Zhang led prayers, Yanogi and I went to Mr. Hong Yukong's house to play.  Everyone talked and laughed until midnight before leaving.  Everyone begins with small talk.  Later comes discussion of God's work, then talk of the second coming of Christ.   There is talk of the flight from the mainland to Hong Kong, religions in every country, the church, the world, the patriotic love of celebrities and the situation of the country.  In short, everyone talks nonstop.  If it's not too late, everyone still has something to talk about.  The basis for all this conversation is that we were, are and always will be the same.  We're all still interested in this.  Our conversation is comradely.  "Comrade" is used by the Communist Party clique on the mainland today.   Oh my God!  They're not comrades.  They are everywhere, now and in the future.  Psychologically, they are all different.  They are only comrades in that they are all under the same oppression.

August 22, 1956 - Life and career

 Life and career

   Life and career are extremely important things.  A person loses the value of his life if he has no career.  I often think about a person's future career.   Although I'm currently a preacher, with the burdens of

family living and personal expenses, 200 yuan is really not enough.  Without a career in life, you will only feel that you are a helpless person.  The so-called 30 standards...  Oh my God!  I'm almost 30!   It's not far away.  At the moment, the road is very narrow so I plan everything for the future all day.  A few days ago, I went to Mr. Huang Yunong's house to play.  Everyone was talking about running a school.  (I think it's best for Hong Kong)  I've been planning how to figure it out these days.  Just now, I found out that Mr. Wangsheng is a brother in Christ.  He is passionate about people.  In business now, everyone feels uncertain about their future careers.  We mentioned our plans to open a school.  Everyone was speculating on the possibilities.  Try to proceed as you decide.

   The career of life is created at extraordinary times; the so-called one spirit, one career.  Mentally, you just don't want to be without a career.  Life is about creating.  Everyone can work hard and live.
