Another gathering with my junior high schoolmates yesterday evening. I knew none of them when studying in junior high except two; however, the April 19 school reunion started our friendship. A strange but beautiful case in life.
Although Xing-xing, our alma mater, was a co-ed junior high school at that time, boys and girls were separated; that is, we studied in single-sex classes. In fact, back then I didn't know any of the men in today's gathering. Now we're like brothers and sisters. Everyone presents a story of their own, achieving in different fields.
At the gathering, a friend asked me if being a teacher is a waste of talent for some academically excellent people because they could do "bigger" things. I told him, being a teacher is one of the most rewarding jobs in the world because a teacher could make a difference in some students' life. After pondering over my words for a while, he agreed.
Two of the attendees are the wives of my schoolmates. They didn't study in the same school. But they are members of our group now.
