欧洲第125天-Barcelona

20180611

It was 21.55, I was sitting at the basement of Sagrada Fmilia(圣家堂), with a chorus rehearsing their performance in 3 weeks. Their theme is Bach. Such an unforgettable scene!

Just now I was standing in front of Gaudi’s grave to tell him my wish. I hope I can be more determined and focused on my dream, not afraid, worried and anxious about my future. Just be calm enough, and focus on my dream. Be determined on the things I want to do. Do not be afraid. To do the things I want, not be perplexed and disturbed by some other things. And not envy, not hatred. Calm and compassionate to everyone. Be happy about others’ success.... When I said these, tears just came out silently. I can never be too brave and determined.

I went into the Sagrada Familia at 18.45,and just silently sat on the chair, looked around, took some photos, and sent a Weibo and a Facebook. Utill near its closing time 20.00, I stood up, walked around, enjoyed its quiet and emptyness. Since last evening visit to Palazza Ducale, I really like the evening visit, since there are so few people that we can enjoy the palaces’ original, factual and quiet beauty. Gaudi is so talented that combined nature and human creation so closely!

In the morning, Siyu and I got to Sagrada Familia at about 10, but morning tickets had been sold out, so I chose to visit it in the evening as tomorrow I will go to Turin. Siyu will come tomorrow morning, so we separated again. I walked around to the youth hostel, as I need to revise another article, which I got the email this morning. On the way, an aunt Li Yan asked me the way, who was born in 1953, with another couple Ji, uncle was born in 1951, aunt was born in 1959. They took a same ship travelling around the world, about 3 months. They wanted to visit Cathedral de Barcelona, so Iused the Google Map to lead us there together. On the way, we talked a lot. LinYan had worked in Chinese Social Science Academy before she went to Japan in 1990, which means that she went abroad to study when she was 37. She got a master degree of Software in Japan, and she had got a master degree of History,which means that she changed his major completely when she was 37. All these mean that she gave up everything she got when she was 37 and started a totally new life. This encouraged me a lot. What are you afraid? Why are you afraid? Is there really  anything deserved your afraid? No! Only you yourself can limityourself! Break the wall you built yourself!

Now all the performers stood to sing, with the exciting music, sound so energetic and full of hope.

I stood up to the direction they faced and took a photo of the whole group of artists. They were curious and looking atme. I just smiled to them and showed a big Thum to them. Thank you for the music! It was 22.27.

I plan to stay until they finish, but just now I asked a guard here, he said they would finish at 12. So I have to go backnow. It is not early now. 22.32. I need to walk about 30 minutes to the youth hostel.

Good luck, my friends!

Good night, Gaudi!

Good luck, Manling!
