This time I’m going to talk about my
Chinese class, which often impresses me a lot.
Our course is all about fables, and this week we discussed “mask” issue. In the beginning there was a story that describes a
king who wanted to become happy and contented. So he listened to a wiser, wearing a real mask(always
with a smile face) to face his people all the time. Strangely, he not only gradually changed
himself but also turned out to be a kind leader after taking off the mask! Then, we started to discuss the reason why as
well as how he could make it. Speaking of
wearing a mask while being with others, it might sound to be really negative. Nevertheless, we soon found that everyone had
their own unique answer to the question: “What kind of mask do you want to wear
now?” For example, a shy girl wants to
wear a brave and courageous mask, while a serious boy longs to wear a friendly
mask. As for my answer, if possible, I would like to wear a strong and
independent mask, completing things with skilled techniques and confidence. Sincerely hope everyone’s wishes can end up
coming true just like the king's!!
About Me
- Coco, Lo
- Hello everyone! My name is Lo, Chuan-Hsin. You can call me my English name, Coco, too. I major in Management Information System now. Also, I’d like to attend various courses in NCCU, such as courses about law or accounting. I think that learning different things in college can be a good way to broaden my horizons. However, as a college student, undoubtedly I love to go out with friends, having fun trying new things. (In fact, I used to live in Taipei many years ago. Then my family moved to Hualien when I was at the age of 10.) As a result, I wish that I can travel around to get to know more about Taipei in the near future. In this blog, I decide to share with all of you my explorations here and my reflections on them, including useful information I receive in courses as well as my interesting experiences. Above all, hope you enjoy my blog! Thank you.
Hey, Coco! I was overjoyed when I found that you’re my partner this week!! It seems that your Chinese class is enjoyable, and I love your story about the king who at first wears a mask to become contented but eventually change himself to the one he wants to be. When hearing of the phrase “wearing a mask”, most people think it is negative. I really like your perspective in answering the question: “What kind of mask do you want to wear now?” Sometimes we are just like the king in the story, we try to show others the bright side of ourselves. Nevertheless, I don’t think that we are wearing a mask because just like the king in the story, when we try to make changes in ourselves, we change. It will eventually become part of our personality. Changes in personality may not be easy; therefore a sincere friend will be really precious. :)
