The Wheels under the Curtain of Night(6)
“I can rest assured now. Thank you for visiting. Go back early, you need to attend class.” Mr. Wang nodded. After some days, I heard Mr. Wang had gone to Shanghai. That visit is the last time I saw him.
Last month, my good friend Qing emailed me. He said he knew what happened that night. Mr. Wang was angry and worried about us when he knew we escaped again. He woke up rapidly and found us. Because his home was poor, he didn’t have a car. So he rode his bicycle all over the place to try and find us. It was a rainy night and this was why his clothes were wet. It’s also the reason why he didn’t come back with us, because he had to ride his bike back home.
After reading this e-mail. I had nothing to say. I just wanted to know how he is doing, our dear teacher? Are you recovered? I cannot disappoint teacher’s wish for me. I must work hard to please my teacher who taught me the most important thing in the life--- Responsibility.
In my imagination: under a summer of night, the breezes sway the wicker chair beside the street. A taxi drives by with four quickly spinning wheels in the front. Behind it, a bicycle rides by with two slowly turning wheels. In my opinion, the taxi drives very quickly because it left one important thing out in the beginning—Responsibility; The bicycle rides very slowly because it carries the teacher, who represents empathy and plenty of love. I promise, that my lack of responsible actions will never happen again
