Then, I went to my middle school which was in China. I met my best friend Jessie and she believed in gods. She always talked about gods to me and I really trusted her. Even though I didn’t trust gods at first, I was gradually influenced by her. One day, she gave me a bracelet as a gift. She gave this to me because I was her best friend and she wanted god could bless me. I believed her, and I also believe gods are existence and the bracelet will bless me.

When I first saw it, I was 5 years old. And I was shocked about it because I cannot even see the top of the buddha. The history of the buddha interested me and it is known that it symbolizes peace.  The buddha would bless us. The original intention of the statue is to reduce shipwrecks and astoundingly, it really reduced shipwrecks. After that, the statue was protected and believed from generation to generation. It was my first time to know of the Buddha. Even though I cannot remember it clearly, it still have a really big influence on me]]> 2017-10-18 20:37:17 UTC https://padlet.com/jianingding21/h3fndk3r5r42/wish/198455871 jianingding21 https://padlet.com/jianingding21/h3fndk3r5r42/wish/200261766 It is a popular Chinese song which is talked about the singer's own life. Her dad died when she was very young and she first ran away from her home when she was 15 years old. She used to think everyone is against her and she thought the life was unfair to her. She chose the worst way to treat others who used to hurt her. But on the other part of the song, she shows her bright side. She says she will get everything she wants by her own self rather than depending on others. Justice will definitely defeat the evil. I am greatly touched by this video when I first watched it. Even though her life was poor, she doesn't give up so how can I give up. And I also notice that the justice can always defeat the dark side because of the existence of gods.]]> 2017-10-25 03:24:25 UTC https://padlet.com/jianingding21/h3fndk3r5r42/wish/200261766 jianingding21 https://padlet.com/jianingding21/h3fndk3r5r42/wish/200267388 2017-10-25 04:08:16 UTC https://padlet.com/jianingding21/h3fndk3r5r42/wish/200267388 jianingding21 https://padlet.com/jianingding21/h3fndk3r5r42/wish/200268653 Because my dad is a businessman, he believes gods. When I was young, he took me to the temple near my house every month. I still remember the crowd, the pungent odor and the Buddhist monk in that temple clearly. I was deeply influenced by it. Every month, when I went to that temple with my dad, I could hear Buddhist monk chant scripture and people pray for themselves. It gave me a kind of feeling that gods are existence and many people believe him.]]> 2017-10-25 04:23:12 UTC https://padlet.com/jianingding21/h3fndk3r5r42/wish/200268653 jianingding21 https://padlet.com/jianingding21/h3fndk3r5r42/wish/200268877 2017-10-25 04:25:37 UTC https://padlet.com/jianingding21/h3fndk3r5r42/wish/200268877 jianingding21 https://padlet.com/jianingding21/h3fndk3r5r42/wish/202732500 2017-11-01 22:48:58 UTC https://padlet.com/jianingding21/h3fndk3r5r42/wish/202732500
