Gestures An Introduction Do we expect other cultures to adopt our customs or are we willing to adopt theirs? This might translate to how business or even foreign relations are to be conducted. Do we compromise or force others peoples to deal only on our terms? We may not have time to hear a language , but taking time to learn the "signals" is a powerful communicator. As the global village continues to shrink and cultures collide, it is essential for all of us to become more sensitive, more aware, and more observant to the myriad motions, gestures, and body language that surround us each day. And as many of us cross over cultural borders, it would be fitting for us to respect, learn, and understand more about the effective, yet powerful "silent language" of gestures. The world is a giddy montage of vivid gestures- traffic police, street vendors, expressway drivers, teachers, children on playground, athletes with their exuberant hugging, clenched fists and "high fives." People all over the world use their hands, heads, and bodies to communicate expressively. Without gestures, our world would be static and colorless. The social anthropologists Edward T. Hall claims 60 percent of all our communication is nonverbal. In that case, how can we possibly communicate with one another without gestures? Gestures and body language communicate as effectively as words- maybe even more effectively. We use gestures daily, almost instinctively, from beckoning to a waiter, or punctuating a business presentation with visual signals to airport ground attendants guiding an airline pilot into the jetway or a parent using a whole dictionary of gestures to teach (or preach to) a child. Gestures are woven inextricably in to our social lives, but also that the "vocabulary" of gestures, can be at once informative and entertaining... but also dangerous. Gestures can be menacing (two drivers on a freeway), warm (an open-armed welcome). instructive(a police man giving road directions0, or even sensuous (the liquid movement of a Hawaiian hula dancer). Bear in mind that the following gestures are in general use, but there may always be exceptions. In recent years, Western and contemporary values and ideas have become more popular and has either influenced, altered, and even replaced, some of the more traditional gestures, understanding human behavior is tricky stuff. No two people behave in precisely the same way. Nor do people from the same culture all perform exactly the same gestures and body language uniformly. For almost any gestures there will probably be a minority within a given nationality who might say "Well, some might attach that meaning to it, but to me it means..." and then they will provide a different interpretation. In the world of gestures, the best single piece of advice is to remember the two A's - "Ask" and be "aware." If you see a motion or gesture that is new or confusing , ask a local person what it signifies. Then, be aware of the many body signs and customs around you. Source: Axtell, Roger E. Gestures: The Do's and Taboos of Body Language Around the World. John Wiley & Sons, 1991. The Ultimate Gesture According to Roger G. Axtell, the "ultimate gesture" carries certain welcome characteristic unlike any other single gestures. First, this "ultimate gestures" is known everywhere- and I stress "everywhere"- in the world. It is absolutely universal. Second, it is rarely, if ever, misunderstood. Primitive tribes and world leaders alike know and use this gestures. The tribesmen - like you, no doubt - recognize it in others and use it themselves. Third, scientists believe this particular gesture actually releases chemicals called endorphins in to the system that create a feeling of mild euphoria. Fourth, as you travel around the world, this gesture may help you slip out of the prickliest of difficult situations. What is this singular signal, this miracle mien, this giant of all gestures? It is quite simply, the smile. Use it freely , use it often. Source: Axtell, Roger E. Gestures: The Do's and Taboos of Body Language Around the World. John Wiley & Sons, 1991. Managerial skills needed by the year 2000 RESPECT: This mean the capability of demonstrating respect in whichever way a specific culture requires: respect for age, respect in manner of speech, respect with eye contact, respect with hand or body gestures, respect for personal privacy, and so on. TOLERATING AMBIGUITY: This refers to the skill of reacting positively to new, different, and at times, unpredictable situations. RELATING TO PEOPLE: This means placing the management of people on an equal level with "getting the job done." Too often, American managers are totally result-oriented without sensitivity to the " people ingredient." BEING NON JUDGEMENTAL: This is the ability to withhold judgment until all information is accumulated, while also taking into account cultural idiosyncrasies that could color judgment. PERSONALIZING ONE'S OBSERVATION: This is the skill of recognizing that each person sees the world from his or her own platform of observations. EMPATHY: This skill, the ability to place yourself in another person's shoes, is on of the higher level skills in intercultural relationships. PERSISTENCE: This is the companion word to "patience." Both are firm requirements in dealing with people from other societies around the world. - Brent R. Ruben A global statesman who cares about people encompasses the several skills above plus three more-dignity, professionalism , and propriety. "A statesmen is a person who can tell you to go to hell in such a way that you actually look forward to the trip." Source: Hariis, Phillip R. and Robert T. Moran. Managing Cultural Differences. Gulf Publishing Co., Houston. 1977. Elevator Behavior Next time you walk on to a crowded elevator, don't turn around and face the door. Instead, just stand there facing the others. If you want to create even more tension, grin. Very likely the other passengers will glare back, surprised, grim, and upset. Reason? You have broken the rules. This demonstrates how, even in the most mundane situations, we have a silent set of rules for bodily behavior in public settings. When _____ people enter an elevator, they each... one or two ...lean against the walls of the elevator. four ...occupy a corner. five or six ...all turn to face the door. ...get taller and thinner. ...hands and purses and briefcases hang down in front of the body, or "fig leaf position." ...must not touch each other in any way unless the elevator is crowded, and then only at the shoulder or lightly against the upper arm. ...have a tendency to look upward at the illuminated floor indicator.

Unquestioning respect for authority. One is taught to respect those who lead, to be loyal, trustworthy and to follow through on assignments. Patriarchial authority of the elder. The parents define the law and the children are expected to abide by their requests and demands. The father is generally authoritarian, distant and reserved but his position is respected. Extended family - an extension of filial piety. Asians in the past have valued large families. Extended family included the immediate family and relatives. it is the responsibility of the family members to provide for the elders. in the Asian family, as one approaches old age, it is the beginning of relaxation and respect. Loyalty to family. Independent behavior that may disrupt the harmony of the family is highly discouraged. Concept of shame. One must not bring dishonor or disgrace to one's self or family.. Also, this concept is used as a controlling factor in the behavior of the family. Vertical authority - Goes from top to bottom in the extended family. One is not encouraged to criticize or confront an individual publicly. Father and son relationship is important because sons are valued to continue on the family name. Control of emotions, self discipline and self control is emphasized. This suppression of emotions gave rise to the stereotypical nation of "the inscrutable Asian." One should only speak when spoken to, speak only if one has something important to say, have inner stamina/strength to tolerate crises. be a solid performer and not show any emotion. Asian women are expected to carry on domestic duties, marry and have children. Education is highly valued. Children learn to obey at home and are expected to do so at school. They are taught to follow all the rules and regulations, respect authority and to spend all of their time studying to obtain high grades. Scholastic achievement is highly prized and co-curricular activities are given low priority, Group consensus is valued in the decision-making process. Collective decision-making, collective responsibility and teamwork are stressed. Rugged individualism is not esteemed. Interdependence not individualism is valued. Put group/family needs before individual needs. Perserverance, conformity, loyalty, hard work and frugality are values sough after. Fatalism. Acceptance of ambiguity and uncertainty. Willingness to be patient accept things are they are. Humbleness. The visibility of the group not the individual is stressed. Power is shared collectively. Not polite to accept public recognition or to call attention to oneself. Hard work will be recognized and rewarded. Success syndrome. Becoming successful is paramount. Find the safest and least visible routes to success. Choose careers that are safe but respectable. Fear of failure and fear of brining shame to the family are dominant forces. Risk taking is not encouraged. Success = Stability/Respectability. Source: Leadership Management Institute(LMI). "Asian Pacific Cultural Values." Leadership Education for Asian Pacifics. (1990). Common Asian Gestures GREETINGS GESTURES Handshaking Bowing Avoid direct eye contact BEKONING GESTURES To beckon someone, the palm faces downward and the fingers are moved in a scratching motion. Avoid using fingers in pointing to an object. TOUCHING GESTURES Not touch oriented societies Avoid public display of affection Pushing (bumping) in crowds OTHER NON VERBAL GESTURES Respect to elderly people Smiling often can cover a gamut of emotions: happiness, anger, confusion, apologies , or sadness. Displaying an open mouth (such as yawning or a wide-open laugh) is considered rude, especially with women who cover their mouths when giggling or laughing. Try to maintain a balanced posture, stand or sit erectly or squarely. Don't slouch or put on the ground with arms in the lap or on the armrest. Crossing the legs at the knees or ankles is the preferred form rather than with one ankle over the other knee. Silience (listening) is a sign of politeness and of contemplation. During conversations, be especially careful about interrupting. China GREETINGS GESTURES The western custom of shaking hands is the customary form of greeting, but often s nod of the head or slight bow is sufficient. Hugging and kissing when greeting are uncommon. Business cards are often exchanged, and yours should be printed in your own language and in Chinese. Also, it is more respectful to present your card (or a gift or any other article) using both hands. The Chinese are enthusiastic applauders. You may be greeted with group clapping, even by small children. When a person is applauded in this fashion it is the custom for that person to return the applause or a "thank you." When walking in public places, direct eye contact and staring is uncommon in the larger cities, especially in those areas accustomed to foreign visitors. However, in smaller communities, visitors may be the subject of much curiosity and therefore you may notice some stares. TOUCHING GESTURES Genrally speaking, the Chinese are not a touch-oriented society (especially true for visitors). So avoid touching or any prolonged form of body contact. Public displays of affection are very rare. On the other hand, you may note people of the same sex walking hand-in-hand, which is simply a gesture of friendship. Don't worry about a bit of pushing and shoving in stores or when groups board public buses or trains. Apologies are neither offered or expected. Personal space is much less in China. The Chinese will stand much closer than Westerners. BECKONING GESTURES To beckon someone, the palm faces downward and the fingers are moved in a scratching motion. Avoid use the index finger, palm up and toward you, in a back forth curling motion toward your body. That gesture is used only for animals and can be considered rude. The open hand is used for pointing (not just one or two fingers,) Also, avoid using your feet to gesture or to move or touch other objects because the feet are considered lowly and dirty. OTHER NONVERBAL GESTURES Avoid being physically intimidating (be humble), especially with older or more senior people. Posture is important, so don't slouch or put your feet on desks or chairs. Silence is perfectly acceptable and customary. Silence (listening) is a sign of politeness and of contemplation. During conversations, be especially careful about interrupting. Chinese like to avoid saying "no." A gesture that is often used to signal "no" or that "something is very difficult" (pausing to rethink) is to tip the head backward and audibly suck air in through the teeth. On public streets, spitting and blowing the nose without the benefit of a handkerchief is fairly common, although the government is waging a campaign to reduce this in the cities. It used to be regarded as ridding the body of a waste- an act of personal hygiene . However, today it is a sign of "low" class or uneducated. Japan In summary, for most visitors the Japanese are complex and difficult to understand. Remember two things: (1) style, or the way things are done, is just as important as substance, or what is being done; and (2) watch your Japanese hosts carefully and follow their example. GREETING GESTURES The graceful act of bowing is the traditional greeting. However, they have also adopted the western custom of shaking hands, albeit with a light grip and perhaps with eyes averted. Meanwhile, to show respect for their customs, it would flatter them to offer a slight bow when being introduced. Avoid hugging and kissing when greeting. It is considered rude to stare. Prolonged direct eye contact is considered impolite or even intimidating. It is considered rude to stand with your hand or hands in your pockets, especially when greeting someone or when addressing a group of people. The seemingly simple act of exchanging business cards is more complex in japn becuae the business card represents not only one's identity but one's station in life. Yours should be printed in your own language and in Japanese. TOUCHING GESTURES The Japanese are not a touch-oriented society, so avoid open displays of affection, touching or any prolonged form of body contact. Queues are generally respected; it is only in crowded train and subway stations where the huge volume of people causes touching and pushing. BECKONING GESTURES It is considered insulting to point to someone fingers extended and the thinb folded into the palm. To beckon someone, the palm faces downward and the fingers are moved in a scratching motion. OTHER NONVERBAL GESTURES Because of the high regard for graciousness and restraint, one should not shout, raise the voice in anger, or exhibit any excessively demonstrative behavior. Among the Japanese, smiling often can cover a gamut of emotions: happiness, anger, confusion, apologies, or sadness. Displaying an open mouth (such as yawning or a wide open laugh) is considered rude in Japan, especially with women who cover their mouths when giggling or laughing. Try to maintain a balanced posture stand or sit erectly or squarely. Do not slouch or put your feet on desks or chairs. When seated have both feet squarely on the ground with arms in the lap or on the armrests. Crossing the legs at the knee or ankles is the preferred form rather than with one ankle over the other knee. Silence is perfectly acceptable and customary. Silence (listening) is a sign of politeness and of contemplation. During conversations, be especially careful about interrupting. One way to show concentration and attentiveness is to close the eyes in contemplation and nod the head slight, up and down. Japanese men like to avoid saying "no", but one gesture that is often used ti signal "no" or that "something is very difficult" is to tip the head backward and audibly suck air in through the teeth. OTHER NONVERBAL GESTURES A gesture saying "I do not know," or "I don't understand" or "No, I am undeserving" is waving the hand back and forth in front of one's own face (palm outward). The "." gesture in Japan may be interpreted as the signal for "money" or "give me change in coins." Blowing your nose in public is considered rude. The handkerchief is used primarily for wiping the mouth or drying the hands when leaving the washroom. Paper tissues are used for blowing the nose and then discarded. When entering a private home or traditional restaurants with tatami (bamboo mats) floors, it is usually customary to remove your shoes and place them with the toes pointing toward the outdoors. BOWING Many westerners view the bow as an act of subservience, but in Japan that would completely wrong. For the Japanese a bow signals respect and humility, two qualities coveted throughout Asia. Although it is not absolutely necessary, but a slight bow demonstrate that you respect their customs. And in Japan, where style and grace and courteousness are revered, that simply act would surely be noted, appreciated, and probably remembered. WHO BOWS FIRST? AND HOW LOW DOES ONE BOW? In Japanese, it is extremely important to know the rank of people with whom you come in contact. "The person of lower rank bows first and lowest." "The higher the rank of the person facing you, the lower you bow." "The lower the bow and the longer one holds the position, the stronger is the indication of respect, gratitude, sincerity, obeisance, humility, contriteness, etc." With equals match bows, adding an extra one when you want to show a slight edge of respect. When unsure of status, the safest move is to bow a shade less low than the other person. The proper form is to bow (about 15 degrees) with hands sliding down toward the knees or at the sides, back neck stiff, and eyes averted. The formal bow (about 30 degrees) with palms on knees and often bobbing up and down. Never bow with a hand (of both hands) in your pockets. Sources: Axtell, Roger E., ed.

Japanese Etiquette & Ethics in Business. Passport Books, 1987. Korea GREETING GESTURES Among themselves, bowing is the traditional form for both greeting and departing. Western and Korean male friends usually greet with both a slight bow and shaking hands. When shaking hands, both hands are sometimes used. Women usually do not shake hands, especially with men, but usually just nod slightly. The senior person offers to shake hands first, but the junior person bows first. However, shake hands with a light grip and perhaps with eyes av

我是一个怀旧的人。
开学一个月,漫步在充满现代化气息的新的校园,常常回想起旧的校园,那是我的起点。
说实话,那座校园真的很旧,坑洼不平的路面,已经掉漆,漏出锈迹斑斑的铁栏杆,永远都关不紧的门,还有那长满了草,散落着土块的操场。
走进校园,两旁是四季长青的玉兰花树,到了夏天那碧绿的树叶间就会冒出一朵朵洁白的玉兰花,有时,花瓣会不经意地从花朵上脱落下来,我总是走过去,悄悄地摸上一把,硬梆梆的花瓣,却又有着柔软细腻的质感,让人爱不释手。
在校园里,最标志性的植物便是那棵 大雪 松了,经常会从广播里听到这样的话:请某某某同学……到大雪松下集合。这估计是校园里的元老了,粗壮的树干上长满了皱纹,交错的树枝被一大片一大片的针形树叶压得低低的,他脚下的泥土格外肥沃,松松软软地上面垫满了松针。
每个初夏,老师都会催促我们去观察紫藤萝,许是因为有很长的历史,紫藤萝的枝条相互交错,将整个的长廊的上方都掩住了,刚开始只有褐灰色的枝条,光秃秃的一片叶子也没有,细碎的阳光洒在上面,在地面上形成大大小小的光斑。过了一些时日,再看地面时,会发现,光斑小了也少了,抬头一看,原来藤条上已经爬满了燃烧着绿意的叶子。再过些日子路过这里,会有一阵阵淡淡的香味,原来不知何时,在绿叶间已经挂上了一串又一串的藤萝花,看着她们,感觉整个世界都融在了她们淡紫色的笑意里。
我们当时的教室是在四楼,北面长着几棵高高的不知名的树,每到春夏两季,那枝条就被染上了绿色,像一团绿云般,肆无忌惮地向我们这边延伸,靠在窗台上,就感觉那片绿意触手可及,在烦闷的夏天,打开窗户,任清凉的分流,听着树上传来的仿佛能安抚人心的蝉鸣,写着作业,感觉格外惬意。
也许是习惯了蕴含古典园林风格的校园,所以当走进充满西方园林色彩的新校园时,总有着许多的不习惯。
然而,我是一只不系之舟,旧时的校园是我起航的地方,但不会是我永远停靠的港湾,我会继续向前,即使是停,也只是暂时的休憩,因为,我的目标始终在前方。

一江,一舟,一人。他静倚在竹上,任由风将思绪吹向远方。这是黎明前的夜,万物都似乎还没有找到自己的起点。
他没有向江上望,穿过江边竹林的叶,深邃的夜空摄去了他的神,纵叫星光万点,幽幽的月光照不透这穹苍。宇宙也静静的求索。他忽的涌上一阵窒息感,这无言的黑暗将天上的光与地上的影都吞噬穷尽,这是一切事物的终结。不会再有起点。哪儿还有起点?他想。再让世界运转也罢,再让生命繁衍也罢,再让文明辉煌的夺目也罢,再让市镇繁华的万分也罢,再让那智慧积累得厚重也罢,就连遗迹大门前积的灰,也会被时间之风所吹袭,大门终也无人能开了罢!这世间,其实无所谓始终吗?一阵风吹过来,竹叶碰撞着,簌簌成响,像奏着一曲哀婉的歌。
他有些想低声啜泣,但他没有。他的视网膜上重新聚焦了,他看向江那边泊的舟。木舟随着流水起伏,在惨白而昏昏的月色下,它像一只伏首的乌木野兽,被远岸的山岚连着江影锁起。那么一瞬间,它幻聚成了一个高度抽象的符号,好似代表着一种肃穆的宣告:“终仍有起点。”风儿也附和着低语。他猛一醒神,盯住,同时倾听。木舟轻轻地荡起,荡落。没有低语。无力感充斥着他的全身,他徒地升起一种无以言说的深刻的沧桑。
随着时间的逝去,世界的无序程度会无可避免地增长,增长复增长,直至再没有生灵,再没有世界,一切都堕入虚无的虚无中。所有有价值的事物,都会像这江水一般,他想,流去又流去,然后戛然而止。大江东去,风流人物尽。江河流觞,可又有谁接杯?黑暗攥住了他,他就这么看着江水巧妙而拦不住的离开了他的视界。忽然静默。他却又想到,他所思考的的对于绝大多数人来说,并没有什么意义。他们并不在乎最终是否还有起点,对他们而言一切都有起点。可我并没有找到起点。他心说。他突然想大声痛斥,但一会就放弃了,这也是没有意义的。他痴痴的笑了好了一阵,又有些想咳嗽。他的心上沁出一层雾般的终极关怀,一会被风吹散了。
天蒙蒙亮了起来。他开始咀嚼那个暗示。“终仍有起点。”为什么?他深表怀疑。他找寻起普适的真理,这不很容易。天渐亮,鸟鸣出了第一声。他的思路活络起来,像此时的江流。他仿佛窥见了什么,想压住内心流转欲喷的情绪,几分兴奋却仍潜掩不住。他在脑中飞快地构建出一座塔,一座恰适的塔,一座一人之力的巴别塔。它是超脱的。天亮了。金芒折过岚雾,散在江面上,随着江流闪耀。他用食指在空气中缓缓而庄严画了一个圆,然后眷恋地看着在山岗后露出半头的金乌,有几分释怀似地笑了笑。
一江,一舟,无人。舟子划着舟,舟缘荡过水的波纹。风吹过竹林,一阵干脆利落的轻响。舟子哼起歌谣。黎明已至,这是新一天的起点。

起点,这两个普通的字眼,你了解吗?你关注过吗?只要你细细地发现,起点就在我们身边。比如跑步比赛的地点;生命的起点;友谊的起点等。
我们这个世界上,有很多名人,比如:李白、海伦·凯勒。他们也各有各的起点。
我国古代的著名诗人李白,大家应该不陌生吧!虽然李白被世人尊称为“诗仙”。但他小时候却十分调皮。
李白在别人上学的时候,经常爬墙逃出去玩,从而把自己的学业给荒废了。在一个阳光明媚、万里无云的日子里,李白又照常爬墙出去玩。这时,李白走进了一个树木茂盛的树林里,李白被这无拘束的绿给迷住了,他接着向前走,不一会,他穿过了树林,眼前的风景更是美妙:哗哗流淌的小溪,一望无际的绿草上面点缀着星星点点的彩色野花。在小溪边的石头上,坐着一位白发苍苍的老婆婆,穿着一身灰色的衣服,李白心里暗暗地想到:这个老婆婆的衣服颜色跟这块风景真不匹配。于是,李白向那位老婆婆走去,走近一看,那位老婆婆坐在河边的石头上,用手拿着一根碗口粗的铁棒在另一块石头上磨来磨去,李白看到后,奇怪地问老婆婆:“老婆婆,你在干什么呀!”老婆婆一边磨着铁棒,一边对李白说:“我要把这根铁棒磨成绣花针。”李白听后,大吃一惊,心里想:怎么可能嘛。老婆婆似乎看出了李白的心事,又对李白说:“这世间没有什么事情是做不到的,因为只要你肯下功夫,再粗的铁棒也可以磨成针。”李白听后,顿时恍然大悟。从此以后不再逃学,认真学习,才能有了那样的才华。
这则 故事 告诉我们:在我们的面前有两条路,一条是光明,另一条是黑暗,这两条路的选择,只是看你的起点是否正确。
海伦·凯勒你们知道吗?她是一个一辈子与听力、视力无缘,并且不可以开口和人们交流,小时候她也试过不去想这些,但是失败了,但最后,她用那顽强的毅力学会了用手语和人交谈,而且凭着一己之力完成了艰苦的大学学业,在那里,她应该是多么高兴。就是因为海伦·凯乐用自己顽强不屈的精神,完成了大学学业,才能成为世界上有名的作家。
海伦·凯乐的这则故事告诉我们,面对失败,并不可怕,更可怕的是一个人面对失败,无法开启新的起点。
我们民间有句俗语“有起点必有终点”,一个异常惨痛的终点,也有可能是一个全新而美好的开始。我现在才觉得起点原来这么重要,它可以使一个人的命运瞬间转变。

从一个起点开始,终究会到达一个终点;而这个终点,亦是一个新的起点。
清晨,天空刚刚露出鱼肚白时。在这一天的起点,我跟随着太阳,站在黄山脚下,站在这趟旅程的起点。我仰头,瞭望着那云雾缭绕的山巅,瞭望着我将会到达的终点。“起程吧,”我默默地对自己说,“走向山巅,走向终点,去看看,那不一样的风景。”
我踏上眼前的这条布满了青苔的石板小道,青苔上,似乎还挂着一些晶莹闪烁的露珠。小道旁遍布着笔直的青松,那墨绿色,仿佛是毛笔蘸足了浓墨挥洒而出的,向山顶蔓延着。
晨雾渐渐散了,阳光也更足了。越向上走,风景便越发的奇特。奇松在这里生长,怪石在这里陈列。石阶路不愿规规矩矩地趴在那里了,石阶立了起来,向前看,他如腾飞的巨龙一般,直冲云霄;向后看,脚下的石阶似乎是悬空立着的。
从这山腰处可以看到两旁的峭壁上,是各种奇形怪状的岩石。而松树,却弯弯曲曲的斜插在石缝中。遒劲的根茎穿过岩石,裸露在空气中,如同老人的手,抓紧了石块,永不放松。苍劲有力的枝干外包裹着一层灰褐色的,生满了树瘤与皲裂的树皮,如同饱经风霜的老人的皮肤,那上面布满了褶皱与凸起的经脉,只有经历了日日夜夜的风吹雨打,才能锤炼出来这样刚韧的茎干。即使脚下的岩石缺少它们所需的土壤与水分,他们依旧在努力,努力活下来,努力生长的更加强壮。
一轮红日渐渐西垂,这一天的终点就快到来了,我也即将走上这趟旅程的终点——山巅。
踏上山巅的这一刻,我被震撼了。这里没有什么树木、花草,甚至都没有别的杂乱的石块,只有一块巨大的、平滑的岩石。站在这里,眼前没有别的什么,只有远至天边的云海和一轮垂在天边的夕阳。白色的云海被映红了,淡蓝的天空也被映红了,这里除了红色,就是白色,已经让人分不清哪里是天哪里是云了,空旷的似乎只剩下自己一人。
重新走到这条小路的尽头,向下看这条小路,曲曲折折,又好像没有尽头一般。从这里再下去,这个终点又是一个新的起点,那曾经的起点,又将会变成一个终点。
