one touching reply so far...


i got no reply so far from anyone until now.
and i got it from my friend Sharyn on Facebook.
i posted this note on Facebook notes as well and tagged lots of people who is related to New Era College, sadly though, i only get one reply from all of my coursemates and friends.
i know, some people hold the thinking that "it is too late to do anything" "there is nothing we can do" "why would they demonstrate anyway" "why causing so much trouble" etc.
it is never too late. it is this kind of strength that we students should have.
in chinese we say 追根究底, which means no giving up till you unearth the truth or understand something.
we as graduated students feel sorry and sad for the juniors.
we feel sorry if we lost this place we once called home.
we feel sorry for our own community that if NEC changed its form, flushing chinese education system out of its new system.
we do not want to lose our remaining stronghold of chinese education.
even now, 10 months since i graduated, i can hardly recognise NEC anymore.
the rapid changes have shaken NEC.
and now shaken even more and it comes in tides.
what can i say? my heart is still with NEC, rise and fall.
with all my heart i hope it will rise back up and for the better.
