November
Dear Julia:
I am glad when your back letter comes. I read two times.
I work in the same office.
Not many people.
Mostly I stay inside.
I miss my family. I want to go home sometime
But I don't think so
Because I would have to give up the chance in Beijing.
Maybe January. Don't worry.
I will always tell you where I am.
I am very glad that I have a foreign friend.
I read English every morning but not speak
Because nobody.
This is prepare to go to your country USA someday.
This is my dream and my disappointment.
I really with I meet you in USA
But it needs your help.
I only don't want you to help me. I mean it.
I am make a joke. Please don't mind. OK?
The grandmother came home from her sister.
I went to see.
The grandmother likes going to your country,
But the grandfather told me permission was refused this time.
Maybe next time.
The grandmother doesn't like to go outing.
She like to watch TV and smoke
And always like to play card with friend
And late at night mah jong, a hard game. 4 AM.
The time passed very quickly when we spoke English
During when we stay together
When you were in China.
We had secrets like two girls.
I knew all you did not tell.
As if it is yesterday to me, that is how I miss you.
But you are happy now in your mother land. Not lonely,
With your daughter and her son Louis, Chinese Long Hua.
I think.
Goodbye, love,
Jian Hui
