Today is Mar. 2nd, 2008, a good sunny, and warm day after the Chinese new year. Twenty three years ago, I was born in a rural village in Ningqiang County, Hanzhong City, Shaanxi Province, in Northwest China, that’s the 25th day after the Chinese new year, we Chinese people usually take the date of Chinese lunar year they were born as their birth day, especially traditional Chinese people in rural areas,  I am just this kind.

Today’s Sunday, I am now in office, but didn’t work in the morning, I will go outside to the street or supermarkets later, and wish myself a happy birthday.
