Today is so called "Holiday" for people in this country. To me, today is a weekday. I entered the office as usual, and didnít work much as usual. Around 8:30 pm I went back to the apartment. It was locked at 11:00 pm. People can't get in and go out, just like a jail.
Today the part of the Bible I read was Matthew Chapter 2, an easy chapter literally. In these days, these several terms like Christianity, freedom, democracy kept coming out of my heart. As I follow the news about those in HK, mostly students, who are protesting for their right, I am getting worried about my home country. I was once disappointed with it and reluctant to go back for finding a job there. However, it is where my family is living. Even if I am such selfish person who calls Raleigh my hometown, I can't stand and imagine how terrible it is for my family to live in an environment like those students do. Survival is not enough to a citizen in a developed society. I admire their bravery for pursuing the right supposed to be endorsed equally to every one of them. Being an economist, republican and Christian, I must find a way to contribute the progress of people's freedom, especially mine.
In these days there was also a shadow intervening in my thoughts. She was so charming, so eye-catching. But she is probably a party member. How much does she believe in the doctrine? Can she distinguish the difference between the country and the party? What if she knows I am an enemy of her party?
There are too many I can't understand. The only thing I can do this night is praying. Pray for people who devote themselves to freedom, pray for my family. Wish the Holy Spirit come to me with wisdom.
