           Yesterday we gave a send-off party to the son of my mother’s best friend who would go to Malaysia to pursue his undergraduate studies. He was a very tall and strong-looking boy who smiled all through the dinner. We asked whether he would feel homesick after he got there, he said jokingly that as long as he had enough money, he would not miss home. At that moment, I recalled one of my friend, before she went abroad, she cried a lot because she felt herself unable to leave her parents.Are boys so different from girls? I know a foreign man who came to China from Canada when he was 21 years old and never go back home for 3 years. I always regarded him as a very independent man. When he told me that he would go back home, I was very surprised because I had thought he would never miss home. I asked him why. He told me he had left home for so long a time, and he felt it was time to go back because staying away from home makes one lose a sense of belonging. After all, anywhere you go, home is the best. Boys and girls, we are the same.

I cannot make sure whether the saying goes like this: East and west, home is best. Perhaps in today's world, best is a very subjective and relative description, but at least it worth our thinking about our responsibilities and our beloveds.

We will get homesick especially when we are faced with difficulties of living,such as language barriers or cultural shock.
