29 MAKING FATHER HAPPY T ime passed <strong>and</strong> I went to <strong>Zorgay</strong> County Town to take the senior middle school entrance examination. It was my first time to a small city to see many people <strong>and</strong> cars. My friends said it was not big at all, but it was the biggest place I had ever seen. I looked around with an amazed expression, which made others stare at me. I was sure they thought I was stupid. The four story buildings were higher than anything I had ever seen. I wondered, "How can people live here? Won't they faint?" I scored the highest in all of Ngawa Prefecture that year. This gained fame <strong>and</strong> honor for our local junior middle school <strong>and</strong> saved it, because the government had planned to close it. Father was also happy for the first time in a long time. I had yearned to see Father smile after Brother's death. By the blessings of the Three Jewels, when I received the announcement of my scores, Father was delighted <strong>and</strong> asked all our relatives to congratulate me on my excellent results. To keep making Father happy, I did not waste time in school. I studied harder than before to please everyone who cared about me, <strong>and</strong> for a better future. I passed another examination that gave me a chance to learn English in Xining City, which made Father even happier. Only then did he give me a warm hug. That was the first embrace I got from Father after I turned fifteen. I will never forget Father's warm hug. It was so real <strong>and</strong> full of a father's concern for his son, a hug I had yearned for, the hug I had tried my best to gain, the hug Father kept only to give in such situations. I will remember it forever as a ray of shining light to brighten my path toward success <strong>and</strong> to encourage me not to disappoint him <strong>and</strong> myself. I resolved to liberate myself from painful memories. If I truly care about those who love me, I decided, then all I needed to do was harder to reciprocate their love <strong>and</strong> infinite support. To study with native English speakers was a golden opportunity. ▪110▪
I, a young man who grew up in a remote village, have been able to learn more <strong>and</strong> be exposed to more than the Tibetan subculture of my own home area. English widens my world-view <strong>and</strong> I am resolved to never be conquered by hardships <strong>and</strong> difficulties. Morning from the village. ▪111▪
