We Want To Feel That This Earth

You Can Feel As Brave As Columbus Starting For The Unknown The First Time You Enter A Chinese Lane Full Of Boys Laughing At You, Or When You Risk Climbing Down In A Tibetan Pub For A Meal Of Rotten Meat.

I Did Not Want To Be Depressed By The Gap Existing Between My Weakness And My Ambition.

We Want To Feel That This Earth Is All Ours, Like Our Parents' House When We Were Children.

The Usual Channels Of University Studies Or Secretarial Work Did Not Appeal To Me. I Cherished Difficult Dreams Through Confidence In Myself.

Every Time I Took A Long Leave From Home, I Felt As If I Were Going To Conquer The World. Or Rather, Take Possession Of What Is My Birthright, My Inheritance.
