| Actually, I can talk about a historical event that I witnessed in person in my country. It happened in November 1989, when I was just a young boy, about 10 years old. All my life - and our country- into East and West. I often saw the wall when I went around town with my family or friends. It was a fact of life. I never in my lifetime, but I often wondered what on the other side. As I lived on the Western side, I had been on the other side several times, but I knew that my aunt and my cousins, , to come over to our side. But that winter's night it all changed. We could hear people running through the streets shouting 'Tor auf' - 'Open the gate!' Even though it was past midnight, my parents took my sisters and I to the wall. It was like a huge street party. People , everyone was excited. At midnight they opened the checkpoints and people from the East flooded through. We bought a huge bunch of flowers from a stand. My sisters and I handed them out to people coming across from the East to welcome them. At the time I didn't know what caused the event, but later I found out it was the end of the Cold War. People still think of this event as a symbol of peace. I was very present to see history being made. Those of us often think what life on that fateful night in 1989. |

One event I remember well is my parents taking me to the Beijing to see Opening Ceremony of Olympics. It was held in 2008, when I was 12 years old. My father explained me that it was a very important event in our country. I never went to the Beijing before. It was the exciting day of my life. I remember 2008 drummers were all doing the same thing. If one made a mistake, the whole show will be ruined. But no one made a mistake. It was perfect! There were people dressed in colourful costumes fly across the stage. Small children was dressed in national clothes. A small girl was singing beautifully. When our national anthem played, we all stood up and sang. I felt so proud. I never forget that day! |
