Once Upon a Time in America

I remember Hunter told me that the young Jenifer in this movie was astonishing and unbelievable beautiful when she made her first appearance, took his heart at the first glance. And I am pretty sure LaoCai was showing his truly and deepest admiration to the GREAT Robert De Niro when he recommended this to me. America is always the heaven for dreamers, it's good to have a place like this on our planet, we could have what we want if we try.

The three months adventure is still a dream to me, it's like a gift from god and couldn't be any better. I met with all kinds of amazing people from across the globe, Singapore, Malaysia, HongKong, Taiwan, India, Japan, Korea, Thailand, Switzerland, and of course the Americans. People here are so nice to each other that I couldn't help to like them, they have different backgrounds that provide different perspectives to the whole society, which make their united states strong, prosperous, and most important free! It represents the most highly developed human civilization, and attracts the most brilliant and creative people in the world to come together for a single reason: To lead the mankind to infinity, and beyond!

This precious memory is frozen and isolated in my brain, disconnected from others, because it is completely different from any of my former experience, and I can't take the chance to contaminate it. But from time to time, I recall it and relive it, only to feel its power and refill myself with energy, like having a spare heart pumping the blood in every vessel all over my body. The smell is still familiar when I breathed the free air at Stanford campus, the overwhelming remains the same when I set foot on the Golden Gate Bridge, the mother nature strikes me like yesterday with the lovely Black Bear, the giant Red Wood and the magnificent mountains and falls in the Yosemite Valley, the intelligence of human shocks me again and again by exploring in the Intel Museum, wandering at the Google Campus and passing by all these fairytale high-tech companies in the Sillicon Valley. Not to mention the Sun is shining and the Pacific keeps beating on the glorious California beach, can you just close you eyes and image what a life it was.

I have always been thinking about what I want, how do I want to live my life, until then I felt like I had an answer, at least for now. And I can also respond to Hunter's question a year ago, what will you be seven years from now. Young man, follow your heart, you have everything you need, a healthy body, a determined will, a scientific method and an open mind, nothing can stop you, the dream is coming true!
