For PEACE CORPS

One year ago, you abandoned a good salary and came to China to lead a thrifty life;
One year ago, you had droped familiar surroundings and started to adapt to strange food, language and culture;
One year ago, you had departed from your beloved family/lover and began to help completely unknown people.

Time has flown, sometimes you would ask youself: I have given up so many things. Is it really worth it?

But,
by thriftiness, your spirits enriched;
in strangeness, your knowledge expanded;
from the unknown, your friends emerged.

Today, you left Lixian. One day, you will leave China.
That day, when you go back to PEACE CORPS, several simple words are on the wall.
''Make the Most of Your World.''
Then suddenly, you begin to understand your own life.
