Birthday again - It’s my 20th.
I’d like to share this song with you.

Comfortably Numb - Pink Floyd - The Wall (better sound n image)

The child is grown
The dream is gone
…
I have become comfortably numb

Since high school, I have been feeling like this.
And now,

There is no pain you are receding

You taught me this.

Others are always of higher level. They are smarter. They are stronger. They are talented. They are skillful. They are sharp. I dared not to speak. I was afraid of facing awkward situations: I was “of nonchalance”. My failure of the College Entrance Exam seemed reasonable. I was learning bad. I deserved that.

I caught a fleeting glimpse
Out of the corner of my eye

Now my future is unfolding. In this low-ranked college I am facing opportunities and frustrations. Disappointment is unavoidable, while the future is still appealing to me.

What is happening in 3 years?

A distant ship, smoke on the horizon

Happy birthday to myself again. And good day to you all.

P.S. Enjoy the guitar solo.
