I began to know Cheng in senior high school. He first impressed me with his poor English. In an English class, our teacher asked him to read a word that he didn’t know how to pronounce, he should spell it letter by letter. However, he did quite well in history, and he always got the highest mark in every history quiz.

At first, I didn’t like his manner at all. He was always behaving like a leader, which made me very uncomfortable. While gradually, I came to realize that he was an interesting guy. He admired the great people in history, and he had ambition to be somebody. He studied harder than me, and he was determined to make an official career. In our busiest third school year, we studied together, talked together, and had lunch together. Our friendship came naturally.

After we went to different college, he often calls or texts me. He is busy studying and getting an upper position in the student union. Once on QQ, he said to me that it was really complicated in the college officialdom, and he missed his old friends. While I believe he is certain to overcome all the difficulties and be somebody, because he is a strong guy who is fighting for his dream.
