I went to Baiyun Airport in Guanghzou today for working and something inspired me to write in my blog today. When I walked inside I saw a party of about 10 couples from the west holding a Chinese or Asian child in each of their arms. All the children had eastern faces. I sat there and noticed that there was another couple that had an eastern boy who couldn’t talk English at all; obviously his parents are from American by their accent. Then I went back home and grabbed a bite to eat in Mc Donald’s, and there I saw more couples with eastern children again.

Actually, I saw a lot of these situations in consulates nearby in Shamian, which is where Guangzhou’s Pearl River is. Then I went back home and coincidently saw a program from ABC News 20/20—“aging out” talking about the thousands of orphaned children in American who are waiting to have a home again, or to be adopted. Well. It sounds dramatic, but it did happen today.

I don’t know if it’s a coincidence to see all this adoption stuff, but it did make me think a lot. I like babies, and think it’s very sweet to see more orphan children being adopted. Nowadays new couples prefer to have there own child, as well as adopting a child from a poorer country. One of my teachers, Lima, who is pregnant, told me she will adopt children；she said: “We will adopt children from poor countries, because there are so many children who need a home or need to be loved.” I think this is a really good philosophy.

What I learnt from today, and what inspired me is “Love does make the world go around”. It shows us that love is not selfish or possessing. Love is giving and showing to a new born child and that they are a gift from Heaven. You can say there is more social welfare in the west and people don’t have to worry about life as much; Meanwhile, China is rapidly developing its economy and I wonder how many years it will take Chinese people to have this thought of giving and not just possessing? It always takes times.

领养东方小孩

今天因工作关系我到了广州白云机场，当我看到一个外国团体十几对夫妇都各抱着有着东方脸孔的小孩子, 他们都对孩子们十分疼爱。然后我在一个地方坐下，同时另一对有着美国口音的夫妇也在我身边走过，他们有个东方小孩，大约4/5 岁，根本不会说英语，自己拖着比他大十倍的行李箱活泼乱跳着；而当我饿了随便在麦当劳吃了快餐时，也被我看到了又一对美国夫妇自己有了一个孩子，另外在收养一个东方小孩。

其实我走在沙缅时，在靠近领事馆的地方看到很多收养东方小孩的外国夫妇，多不胜数，但想到这现象时，让我对生命或人生的生活态度思考更多。在我回到家时，刚好在美国ABC电视台的20/20播发一个节目，讲述原来在美国有很多的孤儿在等待收养，等待有一个新的家庭。这一切一切都是那么的巧合的发生在今天，也许是我这个有心人，它令我想了很多。

我是个十分爱小孩的人，其实当我看到更多的夫妇收养更多的孩子，有种很温馨很温暖的感觉; 现在新一代的夫妇都喜欢自己生一个小孩收养另一个小孩，曾经是我的导师，现在正怀孕的Lima对我说：我们以后也想收养更多比较穷国家的小孩, 因为这个世界有太多的小孩需要一个家和需要被爱！多么感人的一番话啊。

生活的点点滴滴只要你细心留意，你能从中学到很多东西—“地球因爱而转动”！它让我们知道爱其实不是只是占有而是付出。新生的小孩是上天的一种恩赐；你可以说因西方国家的福利好，让他们不用为生活而拼命的奔波；同时，中国这几年在快速发展着，而我们又需要多少年去发展让中国人有这样美好的想法，让爱不再是占有而是付出？这永远需要时间去鉴证。
