“Maybe you were a Chinese person in your past life.”
Over the 8 years that I have been living in China this is the, somewhat corny, jokingly way some of my Chinese friends replied to my enthusiastic accounts of my experiences here. And while I don’t believe in reincarnation, I do think that some of us are blessed with the chance to enjoy a second life, and sometimes if we are lucky, it might be as good a life as the one I enjoy in China.
“也许你前世是个中国人。”
我生活在中国的 8 年里,一些中国朋友对我的经历就是这样描述的,有点老套,打趣的措辞。虽然我不相信轮回,但我确实认为有些人有幸享受第二人生。有时候想想,如果我们足够幸运的话,就能来中国享受精彩的人生。
