A blog entry entitled “When What do you start to miss home?” by contestants from Zhonghua Secondary School.

English Summary ：

When do you start to miss home?

In this blogpost, the author addresses this question based on his personal experiences.

As a foreign student, the author tends to forget about his family when things are going smoothly. He loses himself in the serenity and hence, does not brood on his family overseas.

However, when he was both mentally and physically worn out after a recent examination in which he did not do well in, his first thoughts was to seek solace in his family.

“通过一根细长的电话线，给自己加足油，充满电，然后再继续努力，挺直腰杆地走在家人期盼支持的目光里. ”
‘ Through the thin telephone line, I was encouraged and recharged. I was ready to keep trying, to stand upright and continue my path with my family’s hopes and dreams.’

It is the author’s views that when we are down and out, when we are in need of strength and encouragement, only then do we turn to our family. There, we gain energy to carry on.

你什么时候最想家？

June 1st, 2008
你什么时候想家？今天看书，看到张小娴的一篇散文，让我羞红了脸。先问问你的心吧，你什么时候想家？

文章开篇便问，你什么时候最想回家探望父母？我停下了手边的一切事情，认认真真地思考了这个问题，恩，确如文中所说，遇到挫折的时候，我最想家。在这个陌生的国度徘徊辗转了半年了，也还是有过一些一帆风顺的日子，在这段时间中，无需担心学习，没有大新闻，没有要忙的比赛、作业whatever something else need to do，一个人就静静地专心享用这时间，窝在床上，上网翻翻新闻，看看电影，听听音乐，没有记挂着家里。

然而，这次年中考试才刚落幕，我就像现在四川灾区彻夜救人的解放军们一样，像打了一场艰难持久的战，身累，心累。得到成绩，只想快快回到宿舍，寻一个无人的地方，给家里挂个电话，听一听妈妈的声音，把所有的委屈，不甘，自责，忏悔全部倾给她，不怕憋在心里的不快终有一天会溢满出来，爸爸已经说到烂的道理在此刻听起来，却又像是醍醐灌顶，使我似有所悟。通过一根细长的电话线，给自己加足油，充满电，然后再继续努力，挺直腰杆地走在家人期盼支持的目光里。

这仿佛已经形成自然了，有需要，寻求安慰，得找疗伤圣地，要给自己的心放个假，就会回从来都不需要想起，从来也不会忘记的家。对不起，我们总是带着一颗挫败的心回家。
