My dream was to become an advertising designer when I graduated from high school several years ago, so I boned up on the painting skills a whole year before the college entrance examination. I was full of confidence in the art exam with the encouragement and help of my art teacher.

The reality is always cruel. The word “weak color” on the medical examination report gave me a big blow that means I have no chance for art design this life, then I had to change my way immediately to apply to the Conservatory of Music. The result met my expectations that  I fell out of the list because the decision was too sudden and it was too late. The road to the art was blocked and I could only choose to study English major, fortunately I have a preference for foreign languages.

Our beautiful teacher – Ms. Xie taught us the English song “Yesterday” in our first class of the Foreign Languages College. This song changed my impression of the noise of rock music which added the tenderness of string was what I like. The combination of classical and rock was quite controversial when the song released in 1965, some people thought it neither fish nor fowl and some even felt it lost the soul of rock. However, this song has become the classic now, the cello’s deep sound is like a man who telling the memories of the past and farewell to the sad yesterday.

It is the biggest regret of my life that can not do work of art and music, but yesterday’s dissatisfaction has disappeared and passed away, so why I care about it today.
