The Beautiful

From Memory
Jump to: navigation, search

In the nineteen fifties the ratio between Chinese boys and girls was about 10 to 1 and Anna was very beautiful and the queen of Chinese students. There were many doctorial students with cars try to date her. Her official excuse (for declining their offers) was that she kept trying to become a nun. Nevertheless, her real reason was that she was ready for me to date because my basic strategy was to become a friend of Roberto, her brother on campus. Sooner or later, her brother would tell her that such a person does exist. However, I did not expect that this strategy would work so soon. Eventually, I waited 3 years before I dated her.
