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 [10]<\/p>\n

“Are you OK?”, he asked.<\/p>\n

“I’m sorry … I thought you had already forgot a<\/em>bout me.<\/p>\n

I was heartbroken … When I suffered, he (my current husband) comforted me, he helped me to understand that I had to face the reality.<\/p>\n

So I accepted the reality.” I couldn’t stop my hopeless tears.<\/p>\n

He sit down beside me, opened one hand in front of me and asked, “May I?”<\/p>\n

I placed my hand in his palm. He still had the warm and strong grip as before.<\/p>\n

He held my hand, looked into my eyes and said,<\/p>\n

“I o<\/em>nly want you to know that, all that happened in the past has passed . As long as you are happy now, I am happy. Understand?”<\/p>\n

I nodded at him.<\/p>\n

He gently let go of my hand, stood up and walked down to the river.<\/p>\n

His stopped at the riverside, “I hardly can recognize this city today, but this river is just as beautiful as it used to be.”<\/p>\n

I walked towards him and hugged him gently from behind.<\/p>\n

“Please, let me hug you again, just once, may I?”<\/p>\n

I ceased all my thoughts, and hugged him just like that. The quiet river and the quiet night were our company.<\/p>\n

That night belo<\/em>ngs to thirteen years ago, to the memories of Chang Qing river.<\/p>\n

It doesn’t belong to today, to this life.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

At last we waved goodbye to each other. Two taxis drove to opposite directions.<\/p>\n

He offered to send me home, I said, “No. Let’s  say goodbye right beside Chang Qing river.”<\/p>\n

If there were an ending in our story, please let it end at Chang Qing river.<\/p>\n

None of us asked for the other’s co<\/em>ntact information.
