Forever friendship

   

I sat in a round table with my cousin and my best friends, and the atmosphere between us was silent . The stage light was turned on and I knew our last show would begin. This show is the most significant and the last time we get together. We looked at each other and smiled just like the first time we meet with each other.


My story started on August, 2011. It is a hot summer. It is burning in Suzhou, but it is my last summer holiday of my high school. Because I'm going to study abroad, which is far alway from my city and friends. We are going to have different lives. I have to say it is awful that the starting day of OSU is too late, so that I had to send my friends off one by one; however misfortunes never come singly; I received bad news from my mother that my cousin got leukemia. I feel so bad, at that time I drank, smoked and always had a bad temper. One night I sat in a cafe, a warm and forceful arm put around my shoulder and a familiar voice came from behind me. "cheer up man why are you just wasting time here." I turned my head the voice came from my friend who is also the rhythm guitar in our band. We drank a lot and talked a lot. But this time I didn't wallow in alcohol. We designed a farewell show.


As a drummer I have talent in the sense of rhythm; However, I also need lots of practice. In most case, I need to do same thing again and again. In fact, I hate practicing .Maybe I'm not persistent enough if compare with my cousin. One thing really shocked me is that my cousin is a fan of green day. He listens and plays the music of "green day". When I walk pass the room of my cousin I often saw him practicing his skill. I was moved by this behavior, and this is the main reason that push me keep moving. It is coincidence I met with Zhou Yi and Mu Chi. Zhou Yi is a awesome guitar player. He is a completist. He doesn't allow any small mistakes even in the practicing so that we often start over again and again. I still remember we practice for "Wonderwall" for more than 150 times; However ,we understand each other and as his friend I agree with him. Mu Chi,the singer and leader guitar is a easy-going person. He has a good tempo. One day when I walk nearby music room, there is a sound suddenly hit me. The tune of guitar and piano. A good idea comes to my mind, I want to play with others and I want to play in the band. So I open the door started the life with them. During the high school we have more than 10 shows and achieve good reputation.


I walked on the stage with an ambivalent feeling.I saw my cousin he is the only person who dont know what going on with him in my family, I find that Ignorance is kind. I bethink of the dry run for the final show, the time of sadness and happiness. We have 16 songs for this show,and the song contain the memory, best wishes and the sadness for their leaving. But no one knew my extra propose for this show, I have too much things to say. At that time I closed my eyes because the tear can not be stopped. The show was successful and it has became the past tense, but the friendship between us will long live.
