  15. Theme • Love • Poverty 

  16. My feeling • Home was not only the place which they grew up , but a location avoided hardship.

  17. sentence • 运气就是机会碰巧撞到了你的努力。 • 人生最大的悲哀不是失去的太多，而是计较的太多，这也是导致人不快乐的重要原因。 • 很多事先天注定，那是“命”；但你可以可以决定怎么面对，那是“运”！ • 人性最可怜的就是：我们总是梦想着天边的一座奇妙的玫瑰园，而不去欣赏今天就开在我们窗口的玫瑰。 • 低头要有勇气,抬头要有底气.

  18. Be like flower. Spread beauty and happiness wherever you stay; irrespective of your surroundings.  Life is like a cup of tea .It won't be bitter for a lifetime but for a short while anyway. We must accept finite disappointment, but we must never lose infinite hope. Nothing seek, nothing find. Sometimes it takes the worst pain to bring  about the best change.
