2013年年末，北爱尔兰,伦敦-德里市。这里是北爱尔兰的首府，亦是一个北临大西洋，人口只有18万小城。放在我国国内，或许叫她乡、村更合适。

This little story happened at the end of 2013, in the city of London-Derry. With only 180,000 people, it is more like a village in China, but it is actually the capital of North Ireland.

那天，圣诞刚过，夜晚人群散去后街上颇为宁静。一切看上去是那样的平淡而和谐。路过市中心的一颗巨大圣诞树，上面挂满了小卡片。因为是多雨的冬季，每张卡片都穿了雨衣。本以为是青年男女互诉衷心的情话，想着去搜集点老外的肉麻话，将来没准还能用上，哈哈。随意挑了一张，看到的一瞬间心里上下翻滚，波涛汹涌。温暖，感动，震撼，还有.....羞愧！你若问我新年愿望是什么，我会在诸如变瘦，变美，快乐，家人身体健康，爱情甜蜜，升职加薪之类的里面选一个告诉你。而且我想，大多数人亦与我一样。“世界和平”这种话被我们看作是空话套话，作秀吸睛才用的词语，殊不知孩子们的心里，这真的是他们的愿望。

Christmas Day has just passed and with few people on the street, the night of Derry is peaceful and quiet. Walking passed a huge Christmas tree, I was attracted by the cards hanging on it and thought there might be some warm words between lovers. Out of curiosity, I picked one of the cards. warm, moved, shocked and, most of all , shamed. If asked what my wishes is for new year, I would probably say something like: become thinner, prettier, happier and healthier for my loved ones. Things like "wish for a peaceful world " is seen as useless words and is only uesed to build up a good self-image. What we ignored is that there are people who have beautiful heart and do wish for the best for others and our world--- children.

虽然已经过去了3年，这种震撼却毫无消退。

Three years has passed, the feeling was as strong as before.

又是一年年末，贴出来分享给你们。

Standing at another year-end, I want to post the pictures I took that night and share the beatiful hearts and wishes of children.

2017,愿人间温暖，世界和平。

Wish for a warm and peaceful world in 2017.
