Today, I would describe the time when my best friend and I met at the Rio Olympics 2016. It was a badminton match between Lee Chong Wei and Lin Dan, both legends in the badminton world, and the rivalry is really captivating. So when my family and I went to the station, I met him, and we were really surprised to see each other in the same area of the station. We caught up with each other before the games. I learned more about his occupation and his life right now because we hadn't been in touch for a long time. After that, we watched and enjoyed the match together. We were both on the edge of our seats and celebrated each match point with each other. After that, we shared our interests and went for coffee together.
