Strong Helen

I got sick after attending the exhibition in Dongguan. I went there last Sat with Helen. We spent most of the time hanging round the booths, fascinated by the furniture display and then took almost 3 hours to rush back.

Helen had to pack her belongings personally and led her other 4 family members headed to her hometown, Ningbo, that night. She managed to arrive her home in Fanling before 9p, thanks for her bargaining skill and generousity of taking the white plate taxi, paying RMB 200 from Dongguan to Shenzhen to a man totally a stranger to us.

She kept on talking with the driver, flattering her vast experience and knowledge in Mainland China, for the sake of our safety. She had slightly opened a window, refrained us from being trapped by acid air. She fastenend her seat belt and reminded me to do the same in my next trip, Mon and Tues back to Dongguan exhibition again. She's correct to doubt that I didn't learn from the lesson that I had lightly knocked my right knee when our car screeched to a halt just in time to avoid a bump near the petrol station.

Helen's smart and energetic. She kept alert all the time while I was tired. I was vulnerable to disease at that period of time. I knew the reason.

Helen's also very strong in facing her fate. Her two marriages, one ended up with divorce and one a sudden death, had never let her tried a taste of true love. The second one passed away when the baby was just six months in his mother's dummy, a boy of severe retardant. This is not her only child. Her first child of her first husband, a clever and lovely girl, however, died of cancer at the age of around 20. It came as the most terrible blow in her life, but again, she managed to overcome it. Be it her last tragic.

Helen never needs to struggle for love from men as she's attractive. Men and men chased after her and she chose those willing to help taking care of her premises, leasing issue while she just concentrates to hold tight of all her keys for the safe, houses, and closely keep her eyes on her investment and bank accounts. She knows how to get what she wants and what she needs. But seems that poorly she is destined not to have a mutual love relationship.

She had once loved a man. The first time she felt heart beating, missing, and then breaking. She has adopted a little girl in China, she mentioned how hard and dedicated to get the thing done, she is searching for a love that bonds indeed, I think.

I hope our friendship would give her warmth. Wishing her a happy full moon festival!
