Interesting Green: Life is tough for You and Me (Part 2) - 艰苦的生活 (jiān kǔ de shēnɡ huó)

Many people whom I knew and closed to are leaving this world one by one.

Some spent the last remaining days in the hospital and usually in the intensive care ward. Although we may have the best medical cares available, when it is time to leave, we WILL HAVE TO LEAVE.

Some left suddenly. A heart attack on bed or in the bathroom is enough to end our life.

No matter in what manner we take leave permanently from this earth, there is something in common. Each one of us has a HISTORY. The histories may have similar contents.

We all need to work (maybe slog and slog) from young until old. Very often have to overcome obstacles, problems and difficulties. We experience stresses, worries and fatigues. There are also many moments of happiness and sadness. Undoubtedly many fond memories will remain and treasure by the surviving family members. Life is therefore like a journey which we are going through. Some following sayings may be appropriate to describe this journey to the "Nai He" bridge where the final custom is located.
