I felt sad when I thought about the five days until I would return to my family. Later I figured out a way to comfort myself：To sing a song, a song that was very popular back in China some decades ago: “I present petroleum to my motherland”. The song expressed how the oil pioneers of China felt when they traveled almost to the end of the earth to explore oil. They worked under extremely cold weather, yet their hearts were warm.
This was a very proud song about making the entire wild world your own home. I sung it while I drove, leaving home and heading for work. I let the song inspire me:
At the Tian Mountain, snowflakes fall like goose feathers on my head
Threatening me is the big sandstorm of the Gobi Desert
I welcome the morning sun in the waterfront of the Jialing River
I waved goodbye to the glowing sunset at the foot of Kunlun Mountain.
My thinking went back to China, my childhood. The fortuneteller had long ago determined that I would leave my home and travel to faraway places. I had left south China for Beijing. Then I crossed the Pacific Ocean and came to the US.
China, her deep affection, her expansive kindness, her magnanimity, and her heroic spirit; she raised me with her cultural and spiritual richness and deepness; she had made me to be indomitable. China's soul, like the blue sky and white clouds, will always be with me even if I travel to the end of the earth and sky...
