The Moon ( I )

This is the first time for me to found that the moon was so bright, when I returned to mainland China to visit the relatives twenty years ago.There were no street lights and neon placards, only the bright moon on the sky with soft moonlight, shinning from thousand miles away. Even a pile of stones, a puddle, a tussock, a path, these all could be seen clearly.

Back to Hong Kong, found that the moon had lost its brightness, hidden in the neon lights of Tsim Sha Tsui and the fireworks of Victoria Harbour. The nights in cosmopolitan same as daytime, the fashionable guys, the advertisements of the cinemas, the delicious dish of the restaurnants, the display of the department stores, all these were so dazzling, so attractive.

In the eye-dazzling neon lights, I feel exhausted, confused and lost. Raise the head inattentively, take a glimpse to the bright moon, I realized the reason why.

"For with you is the fountain of life, and in your light we see light." ( Psalms 36:10 )
