Fifteen years ago, I entered the Boston Globe, which was a temple to me then . It wasn’t easy getting hired. I had to fight my way in to a dime-a-word job. But once you were there, I found , you were in .
Globe jobs were for life-guaranteed until retirement. For 15 years I had prospered there—moving from an ordinary reporter to foreign correspondent and finally to senior editor. I would have a lifetime of security if I struck with it.
Instead, I had made a decision to leave.
I entered my boss’s office. Would he rage? I wondered. He had a famous temper. “Matt, we have to have a talk, ” I began awkwardly. “I came to the Globe when I was twenty —four. Now I’m forty . There’s a lot I want to do in life. I’m resigning. ”
“To another paper? ” he asked.
I reached into my coat pocket, but didn’t say anything, not trusting myself just then.
I handed him a letter that explain everything. It said that I was leaving to start a new media company. That the Globe had taught me in a thousand ways. That we were at a rare turning point in history, I wanted to be directly engaged in the change.
“I am glad for you , ” he said , quite out of my expectation. “ I just came from a board of directors meeting and it was seventy-five percent discouraging news. Some of that we can do deal with. But much of it we can’t ,” he went on. “I wish you all the luck in the world, ”be concluded. “And if it doesn’t work out , remember ,your star is always high here.”
Then I went out of his office, walking through the newsroom for more good-byes. Everybody was saying congratulations. Everybody—even though I’d be risking all on an unfamiliar venture : all the financial security I had carefully built up.
Later, I had a final talk with Bill Taylor, chairman and publisher of the Boston Globe. He had turned the Globe into a billion-dollar property.
I’m resigning, Bill, ” I said. He listened while I gave him the story. He wasn’t looking angry of dismayed either. After a pause, he said, “Golly, I wish I were in your shoes.”

To all of you at Chinese love links.
I am 44 years old and never married. I have always wanted to find that perfect someone that I dream about. For about the last five years I have almost given up the hope of ever finding the one I truly wish to spend the rest of my life with.
I have always tried to be a nice guy. I had found your website some four or five months before. I did not know what to expect. I don’t know how to speak Chinese and never thought truly of how I was to an Asian woman.
Well, I had a lot of replies from some very nice and pretty women. I had a hard time finding only a couple to write to. But one stood out from the rest. She was cute, nice and seemed to hold a lot of the same values as I do. In a short time I had decided to write only to her. We communicate via e-mails 2-3 times a day and phone calls once or twice a week.
I went and met her and her family only a week ago. Her name is Yun and she lives in Nanning. I found Nanning to be one of the most beautiful cities I had ever been to. We had even decided to marry and bring her to the USA under the finance visa. Not only did she meet everything I had ever hoped to find in someone else but turned out to be what every woman should be like, at least the ones I have met. We plan to marry as soon as she is here and start a family together as neither of us has children but we both want them.
So to anyone out there reading this, I can only say this: You may not find what you are looking for if you’re not honest with your partner and yourself. This site worked for me mostly because I was honest with something that I wanted in someone else. When I did find her, love can work even across the other side of the world, between language differences and cultural differences. I wish you all luck in finding your perfect match. I have finally found mine and wish to give all my thanks to those at Chinese love links to help make it happen.
Sincerely yours,
Arthur

At an airport I overheard a father and daughter in their last moments together．They had announced her  54 ’s departure．Standing near the door, he said to his daughter: “I love you, I wish you  55 ．”She said: “Daddy, our life together has been more than enough．Your love is all I ever needed．I wish you enough, too, Daddy．” They kissed good-bye and she left．
He walked  56  toward the window where I was seated．I tried not to intrude （侵犯） on his  57 , but he welcomed me in by asking: “Did you ever say good-bye to   58  knowing it would be forever?”“Yes, I have,” I replied．“  59  me for asking, but why is this a forever good-bye?” I asked．“I am old and she lives much too far away．I have   60  ahead and the reality is, her next trip back will be for my funeral,” he said．“When you were saying good-bye I heard you say, ‘I wish you enough．'' May I ask what that means?”
He began to smile．“That is a wish that has been handed down from other  61 ．My parents used to say it to everyone．” He paused for a moment, looking up as if trying to remember it in detail, he  62  even more．“When we said ‘I wish you enough'', we wanted the other person to have a life filled with enough good things to sustain them,” he continued and then  63 toward me, he shared the following  64  he were reciting it from memory．           
“I wish you enough sun to keep your attitude  65 ．I wish you enough rain to appreciate the sun more．I wish you enough happiness to keep your spirit alive．I wish you enough pain so that the  66  joys in life appear much bigger．I wish you enough gain to satisfy your  67 ．I wish you enough loss to appreciate all that you  68 ．I wish enough “Hello”s to get you  69  the final “Good-bye．”He then began to sob （哽咽） and walked away．

   Thank you very much for invite me to your birthday party on Saturday morning. I’d like to come and I have to go to my hometown to see my grandparents. They were very old and unluckily they are not in a good health recently. My mother has already made a telephone calling to them and promised visit them with me this Saturday. My mother said we will stay at my grandparents’ the whole weekend. So I’m real sorry I can’t attend your party. I do hope you will understand all this. Here I wish you a lot fun on your birthday and many happy return of the day.
