When Darkness Enshrouds

Following the recent murder case of a Chinese student in Montreal, fear struck. The victim was murdered, chopped into pieces and died in a gruesome way - without any dignity preserved.

The piece of news disturbed me in many ways. But mostly was due to the fact that humanity has degraded into such extent where killing could be done mercilessly. I can't help to question, how could he had done that.

写作

有些华裔朋友自小就不会念华文，不说华语；说父母觉得华小功课繁重，压力大，抹煞了小孩的童年与想象力。反正英语才是重要的，华语不学也罢。所以就这样，母语都不会说了，名字更加不会写。很多还因自己是纯正的‘香蕉人’而沾沾自喜，感到光荣。有的甚至瞧不起常以华语沟通的朋友，觉得羞耻。

而我，正相反。

母语是根，文化是源。我会华文，我爱华文。当年，中五报考华文，是因为我真的那么热爱华文吗？又或是因为自己那份的毅力推动了我，我不知道，但也不重要。重要的是，我没有放弃它，它也不曾离我远去。华语让我骄傲，自豪。

华语让我觉得舒服，踏实。离乡背井，背着理想，去实现梦想的当儿，华文让我认清自己。它让我认清回家的方向，提醒我饮水要思源。每每听见有人说华文时，心里就开心，它让我找到了好朋友，找到了机会，找到了在异乡的家。
