“BANG!” the door caud a reverberation (回声). It was just standing there,
with father standing on one side, and me on the other side.pnd
We were both in great ang er. “Never t foot in this hou again!” father stormed. With tears welling up in my eyes, I rushed out of the flat and ran along
the street.
The street lights were shining, causing rather sad feelings. I wandered
aimlessly.
A young father who held a child in his arms walked past me. I felt as if I saw
my childhood from another space: happy and carefree.
But now … I don?t know whether it is becau I have grown up or becau dad
is getting old. We differ in our ways of thinking. We are just like two people
coming from two different worlds. It feels like there is an iron door between us
that can never be opened.
I wandered the streets, without a destination in mind. My heart was frozen on
this hot summer night. As I walked on, there were fewer and fewer people on the
streets, until I had only the street lights to keep me company. When I finally
reached the high-ri apartment block in which I lived, I saw that the light was
still on.

shouting at me, he never showed any mercy or any moments of regret.
This was how he always was. He has been a leader for so long that telling
everyone el what to do has become his cond nature.
The light was still on. “Am I wrong” I whispered, maybe… With the key in my hand, I was as nervous as I had ever been. At last, I decided to open the door. As
soon as I opened the door, tears ran down my cheeks. I suddenly realized that the
