Today I will describe a time that I met my friend by surprise. It was in the badminton final between Li Chongwei and Lin Dan. Me and my family traveled to the location and when we were sitting to our seats, I unexpectedly met my friend. It was a joyful surprise because me and him have been best friends for 5 years and having the chance to meet him there gave me great joy, gave me great joy. Before the match, I discussed with him about his career path and basically what he is doing at that time. He has pivoted into a strange but interesting career and he was really passionate about his choice. I feel happy for him because we all wished the best for each other. And when the match started, we yelled, we clapped and we were on the edge of our seats together to observe the thrilling match and we also chat a lot in the midst of the badminton match. After that, we all feel really connected to each other and arranged to meet at a coffee shop later in the day. In that coffee shop, we arranged for further badminton match playing with each other to remember the past and to connect later on. I still remember the vibrant energy at this stage at that day and also wished the best for my friend in his career.
