I’ve been thinking a<\/em>bout writing a colloquial Chinese short story on Beginner level for a while, but it turns out that it’ll be much easier to tell a complete story on Elementary level instead of Beginner’s. To check out how reading levels are rated, please click here. My dear readers, I’ll also need your feedback to help me understand the difficulty level of my writing.<\/p>\n

I’ve always been thinking that Chinese language could be more approachable to the world if enough reading materials on different levels could be available for learners to read, especially for adult learners. That is also the main goal I’m trying to reach in this “Learn Chinese o<\/em>nline Short Stories” session.<\/p>\n

Before you begin to read this 4500-character Elementary level short story, I’d suggest that you run through the vocab table first to get familiar with the new words. That way your actual reading process might be much smoother. At the end of each part, there will be a short quiz to test your comprehension.<\/p>\n

The Eyes Behind Me [9]<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

“I told Wang Hao not to make joke a<\/em>bout this; She had promised me she would wait for me to find her again.” He continued.<\/p>\n

“Wang Hao didn’t waste words on that. He showed me your wedding invitation right away. On that invitation letter, your name and another man’s name was clearly printed together.<\/p>\n

I grabbed that piece of paper and stepped outside of the door. My mind went blank all of a sudden. All that I wanted to do at that moment was to see you, the soo<\/em>ner the better.<\/p>\n

Wang Hao held me back with all his might. He called me an idiot, saying what was the point of meeting you under those circumstances.<\/p>\n

I pushed him away like a mad man, I told him to stay out of my business.<\/p>\n

I rushed down the stairs. Wang Hao followed me closely.<\/p>\n

On my way to your home, I suddenly remembered that you did not live there anymore.<\/p>\n

I turned around and grabbed Wang Hao, and I demanded that he tell me your address.<\/p>\n

Wang Hao punched me right in the face.<\/p>\n

He told me to wake up. I said I was awake enough to know that my girlfriend would soon marry another man, how much more awake did you want me to be?<\/p>\n

Wang Hao shouted back, ‘If you do love her, don’t you want her to be happy?’<\/p>\n

His question caught me up short.<\/p>\n

‘Is she happy?’, I asked him.<\/p>\n

Wang Hao nodded. He said he had seen you two together, you were very happy.<\/p>\n

At that moment, I felt as if my heart was gouged out.<\/p>\n

The days that followed were vague in my memories.<\/p>\n

I got drunk a few times at Wang Hao’s. Then I left a wedding gift for you and left.”<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

He stopped right there.<\/p>\n

My face had gone wet without my awareness.<\/p>\n

I felt a weakness that I’ve never felt before. I reached out my hand to the chair beside the river and slowly sat down.
