I felt that these pages really did help show how difficult
it really was for Hessler to live in China. It even tells us that it’s hard for
him to contact loved ones and use the Internet. His time Yulin was very
interesting to read about though. Compared to the other chapters of this story,
these pages showed that Hessler really enjoyed his time in Yulin compared to
Fuling. In Yulin, Hessler seem to have a better interaction with others as well
as not feeling so much like a “Waiguoren.” I can definitely relate to Hessler,
because in a way, I had to gotten use to something new. Recently, my family bought
a dog around a month ago. It wasn’t easy taking care of this new pet for the
first few weeks. Just like what Hessler went through during his time teaching,
there were a lot of difficulties for me.
However, I eventually got use to this dog and grew a bond with him as
well. I know that comparing my dog
with Hessler’s time at Yulin isn’t very similar, but it’s not the experience I’m
comparing. It’s the moment in time when we were enjoying these moments that I’m
comparing. I feel that when reading about Hessler’s time in Yulin, I’ve noticed
that this is the first time in a while where he was actually happy to be
somewhere else and not have to worry about other things that much. Instead, he
was able to spend his time to interact with others that he found very memorable
to do.
