A Letter to My Friend

Hi, Fu

Long time no see, Fu. How are you doing? I heard from your father last week, and he told me you are now a cub reporter working for the WenZhou broadcasting station. I think you have made the right decision, reporting is probably the best job for you. In my memory, you are the kind of person who never stops talking, I guess talking is the major job for a reporter, you should have fun with it. I am a freshmen in college now, at one of the top school, in the city. However, I am considering to transfer to another school next year. Because this school is too crowded for me, I don't like to squeeze in a crowded elevator every day. By the way, how is your sister? I heard she got into BeiJing University. I am glad to know that, please tell her that I miss her.

It's been four years since I left WenZhou. I have changed a lot over the years, compared to that fat kid four years ago. I got skinnier and taller. You possibly wouldn't recognize me, if I stand in frond of you right now. I have met a lot people since I moved here, but there are only few who I consider as friends, very few. Of course I want to be surround with friends, however, you know that's the kind of person I am. I never consider anyone as friend before I am certain that I know who they are. Oh! Here is some good news, I will be going back to WenZhou during the winter break. Since you and your sister were my best friends, please be my tour guide at that time. As I saw on the TV, things have changed a lot in WenZhou over last four years; new buildings, new highways, new parks. I think I will be very likely to get lost if no one guides me.

As you already know, I am living in New York City. People often compare New York City to a melting pot, but I think this city is more like a made dish rather than a melting pot. All people in this city are settelled in their own spot, where most people in that area are their compatriots. For example, most Asian, live in Queens, and most Hispania, living in Brooklyn. Perhaps one day will come to New York. I strongly suggest you to take a trip in Manhattan. Which is my favorite borough in New York, the center of New York City, and also the major commercial, financial, and cultural center of both the United Stated and the World. Even through, the former Twin Tower are gone, Manhattan still has many great landmarks, such as the Skyscraper, Empire State Building, Wall Street, Time square, Central Park and many meaningful museums. Trust me, this trip wouldn't make you disappointed.

Your Best Friend,
Wei
