[原创]On the Verge of Despair

We are all human beings and we should not and would not live only by our own. We would pay sympathy and comfort to the suffered and share the same happiness to the loved.

Yesterday was not an easy day my roommate J and those who care about him. It was said that an accident occurred to his father and he was informed and called back home the day after. At that time, J was in the classroom when the sad news came. L told me that his came back to the dorm with a gloomy and sad face. Without a word, he stepped directly to the balcony, and whimpered silently. I felt like having ants in my pants after being informed about his situation when having a class. He acted as a strong man in front of us and never has he cried. With the class over, I hurried back to my dorm to find him being in the bathroom. When he came out, only his normal and little white face could be seen, with all those tears stains washed away. Only solemnity and gravity pervaded the whole small room. Wordless, we also suffered from his sadness. Without his further explaining, no one could get the details about his father accident and his current condition. While on one dared to inquire anything about it. Words like “Don’t worry too much.”, ”Be optimistic and positive”, ”Leave the study stuff behind and go back to your father’s side” could be heard now and then. He reserved the flight ticket for the next day and would leave the very morning. Not a wink did he slept I thought. He must have suffered a lot that night, pondering and thinking about his father. It was said that he woke up at night and sobbed at the balcony in the midnight.

He is the only child in the family with his father as a worker. His father must be the breadwinner in the family; I can understand his feelings for I have such kind of feelings when accidents happened to my father. Without our father, who being the ploar of the family, greater burden would befall us. Youth is the only thing we possess and fear to lose. However, this youth is based on a firm and successive financial support. We are young, too young to support ourselves so as to pursue our further study without any anxiety. Should anything negative happen to them, we should be ready to support the whole family taking the shoulder from our ancestors.

Wish him good luck and pray that his father would recover soon. We all assumed that he would not be asked to return almost immediately without any urgency. Serious or crucial the situation may be, we should always be clam and optimistic. Hope would be with us if we do not lock it out.
