A Picture's Worth




















This picture was taken when i was 5 in 1995. we was celebrating the Chinese New Year.So we went to temple to pray that we might have a smooth year.In order to having a memory and captured happiness, we had taken this precious photo by my uncle in front of the temple.In the picture, there were my dad, mom, sister, brother and I.We all laughted happily. therefore this is why i love this photo!Have you occur when you was looking at the picture you also had a smile on your face? :-)



A picture's worth, every pictures has its own meaning behind. No matter its sorrow, happy or angry. However, in my opinion, I always believe that a picture can remind us the events that we cannot keep it in my for good.

Resently, I found out all the albums I have. When I was looking, I felt very happiness. Most all of the little Renee had smiled broadly just like the picture above. I thought perhapes because of innocence and no worries, therefore I could laugh like that. I had a unforgettable memories is that there had a new open and the firstest swimming pool in my hometown at that hot summer. And then my mom took us to buy swimming suits unexpectedly. Sister, borther and I are so happy that we could dance in the department! With all the amusement equipments in pool, we had a super glad and satisfied memory.


As time flies, I was a college student and left home since Setemper last year. My new life is different because that I used to find what I want easily and everyone would all prepared it for me. However, the things were not the same for serval months. I missed home while the night is deep dark and quiet. Hence those pictures would accompany me. Therefore, I was gald not only my dad and mom had took so many my childhood but preserved it well. Old pictures were more important than memorieswas in my mind and it was worth keeping it as rich as treasures beyond suspect!
