Sorry, too long, I have to finish it in (8) -nothanks(ciel); 2012-6-24 (#7613583@0)

Guess I can't update it. But please be mindful some tense errors. And forgive me if I don't respond to your comments promptly. I time-travelled a lot last night and go to sleep now. :) -nothanks(ciel); 2012-6-24 {525} (#7613896@0)

Nothing to do with them. I did it (at least tried) for my readers in general. I don’t have much time to stay online and write this novel and that is why it takes so long.Impatience is understandable and I appreciate that all the ideas and inputs following each part. I truly hope my story could take you guys’ minds away from the stress of everyday work, at least temporarily. -nothanks(ciel); 2012-6-25 {207} (#7617359@0)

BD, a brilliant writing. I just could not control the tears in my eyes while I was reading it. I think that the story reach the climax here.1. The detail descriptions of your job and your roommate's job make me feel that I did not make wrong choice to choose to leave China. The whole country is full of corruption, no place can be spared.

2. I like the ways that you described Xie too, I could read between the lines that she love the main character of the story so much. I am hoping that you will not give us a sad ending this time. -topspin(topspin); 2012-6-24 {400} (#7613860@0)

Sounds I did not disappoint you in (7). So I passed? Let's wait until (8). -nothanks(ciel); 2012-6-25 (#7617315@0)

Passed with flying colors.Actually I was so touched by this one, and I really hope that you will not end the story in (8). I am seriously making this recommendation, and your careful considerations are really appreciated. -topspin(topspin); 2012-6-25 {196} (#7617357@0)

Thank you for giving me feedbacks to every portion of the story and thank you for walking with me this far.Although I don’t know anything about you but an ID, I don’t feel alone when writing it. However, no matter how much more I want to write down, it has to come to an end sooner or later.

I have nothing to thank you in a virtual world, but you, as a fantastic reader, certainly deserve more.

Nice to meet you. :) -nothanks(ciel); 2012-6-29 {320} (#7627673@0)

"Thus far" is also fine. "So far" is also fine. Use it whichever you feel comfortable with. If there is some difference in meaning, let me know. Orally, I use whichever comes to my lips first. -nothanks(ciel); 2012-6-29 (#7627709@0)

没有. 只是语感上觉得在这里用this far别扭, 生活中也好像没听人这么说过. -thornthorn($oOHoly MolyOo$); 2012-6-29 (#7627733@0)

That is normal. We all have our own set of vocabulary. As long as others understand you correctly, you are fine. English is evolving continuously, and you may have hard time understanding a NewFoundlander. -nothanks(ciel); 2012-6-29 (#7627790@0)

Thanks. I have little or no difficulties understanding Geordie, Scottish, Cockney, Aussie, Kiwi or Ebonicsnot entirely now though but soon :-) -thornthorn($oOHoly MolyOo$); 2012-6-30 {36} (#7628201@0)

:) Everyone is talking about you in other forums. This forum is so quiet. -nothanks(ciel); 2012-6-29 (#7627796@0)

What a love story! I like your soulmate's braveness. Never let the love fly away......You must be a very handsome man:) -fly_universe(飞越时空); 2012-6-24 (#7613948@0)

We already know that men and women are totally different creatures in this world, and we know much better after we read this story. So you can ignore what he said. -topspin(topspin); 2012-6-24 (#7613976@0)

Thank you for reading. Your comments are always important to me. Remember on day one, you said your mom had said similar things to you. On another day, l would like to hear your story. -nothanks(ciel); 2012-6-25 (#7617303@0)

:-) now you are talking. Thanks for such a beautiful story.You gave me an opportunity to travel back to the time nothing matters except love. -nuanxin(nuanxin); 2012-6-28 (#7623824@0)

Well said ! Would that be nice if we care nothing but love? You have been a great reader, thank you.I am truly happy that you enjoyed every portion of the story, so far. I think I exposed myself a lot more than you did yourself. Not fair. I was really impressed by your Chinese comment on 1989 part and couldn't help but admire it. I hope I could read more of your thinking and learn from you. -nothanks(ciel); 2012-6-29 {296} (#7627691@0)

你写的是小说。情与景，人与事，与写者无关。我写作太差，上次上课，老师当着全班同学的面，批评了我。我现在，主要在练习写proposalReport之类的，总想起那句话，书到用时方很少。1989，我觉得，BetterToBeKnownThanToBeValidated。我还觉得这不仅适用于那个Summer，也适用于红尘中的人与人。 -nuanxin(nuanxin); 2012-7-4 {176} (#7634143@0)
