laws of attraction

As a large communist power of the world, China has now decided to change the laws to make themselves exclusive. The law states that if a person is not born in, born to or married to one that is a true citizen of China, he or she is not allowed to refer to themselves as Chinese. If he or she does refer to themselves as Chinese, he or she will have broken the law and can be subject to punishment as per what the judge sentences. Not only that, but there was a time limit of up to 2010 to make yourself eligible. After the deadline, you will only be able to be considered Chinese if you are born in China.

Ridiculous isn't it? But as Chinese people we hope to be able to recognize our culture and our roots, and being denied that cannot be heard of. This is what B thought. So how could he be legally Chinese if he and his mother were both born in Canada? By the third condition: "...married to one that is a true citizen of China." But who would he marry?

My mother was born in Hong Kong, which is now part of China. This automatically makes me eligible to become a "true" Chinese person. If I were to marry someone, he would automatically also be able to become a "true" Chinese. Seeing B in this predicament, I agreed to go to China with him and marry him. The plan was to marry him there so that he would be recognized as Chinese and then return to Canada to have a divorce

Throughout the plane ride there and all the times we've spent together in the past, I started having romantic feelings for him, though I didn't even know why. But all we talked about was about the divorce that we were going to have when we returned. After we got married, my mother talked to him privately about it.

" You know, sometimes things happen when you least expect. Sometimes, things you need to do turn into things you want to do. Don't turn away so quickly, you may be losing a good thing"

He thought about it and was unsure of what he should do.

I started getting more and more irritated and depressed as I thought of what was looming ahead in my future. I didn't want a divorce! I liked him, I really did. But in the end, we signed the paper and filed for divorce once we got back to Canada.

So a couple weeks later, I was out of touch with him for awhile already, but there was an ACF trip scheduled to China...by bus. There I saw him again, but I didn't talk to him. We were on a tour of the government buildings. I remember thinking to myself how sad it was for those who couldn't call themselves Chinese anymore. I talked to little Tiff about the goings of the boys. Turns out R had a girlfriend already and T was definitely going after SM :P. It was quite the funny. and B? well a bunch of new Frosh girls of 2009 were all over him. I guess he didn't need me.

Walking by myself around the government buildings, my mind just kept wandering back to B. Wondering what he was doing, what he was going to do. Just everything about B. I found him sitting at the bottom of the snowy hill where the bus sat atop, squatting like a real China man. I took initiative and sparked conversation with him about how he was doing, how divorce life was going for him. At times, we'd stop talking and just stay silent will looking into each others eyes.

We were interrupted by Sam Ko. He had just switched over from UT to Western. I asked him how he liked ACF and how he liked school. But really, all I wanted to for him to do was leave. In the middle of the conversation, B just got up and started to leave, I had to follow him. He walked up the hill with ease, but I was slipping and sliding all over the snow.

When I got halfway up, Hikari was there trying to come down. AH! I needed to get to him! Just as she was pushing me down a red rope came from over the hill to help me up. I quickly grabbed the rope and climbed all the way to the top.

I found B just standing there, underneath a gazebo, staring blankly out into nothing. I ran up to him and hugged him from behind just pouring out my feelings for him. I just couldn't stand being away from him. I wanted him! He turned around and hugged me back. He really did like me back!

On the bus ride back, I sat with him and we talked for many hours about our feelings, our lives, our everything. However, when we got back, he told me he wasn't sure if he wanted to marry me though. That got me really depressed. I didn't know what to do. He dropped me off home and decided to stay a bit.

I went down to the basement to find my dad and to tell him what happened. As a man, he didn't know what to say so he told me to go find my mom. I ran upstairs and told her everything that happened. After a while, I went back downstairs only to find B lying on the couch just waiting for me?! What was going on?!

"So it turns out, our papers weren't processed properly, we're still married. I think I'd like to keep it that way. "

I could hear nothing else as tears streamed down my face as I ran to hug B. We were finally together.
