Il mio Report Actifit: Agosto 11 2023

Hi everyone,

it's friday and so for the next two days i don't work. I will have more time to walk around and take pictures to share.

I'll let you know right away that I didn't go running today, I simply walked without monitoring the route, so you won't see the map. the boss invited me to dinner so I couldn't do my workout.

we ate japanese food

the boss's invitation, quite rightly, cannot be refused.

Okay, you say, but couldn't you get out earlier? No.

The peculiarity of China is that here you dine very early, from 17.00 and I finished work at 16.30. Difficult to understand for someone like me who dined around 20.00 in Italy.

these are just a few dishes that have been ordered. i stopped taking pictures as it seemed impolite and i was hungry.

the restaurant is close to where I live so, after saying goodbye, I walked home. I took many pictures for my:

THE WORLD NEAR ME

because the world is what you can see right now with your eyes.

the statues of musicians

the houses reflecting on the water

because as I said Jiashan is a city built on water

here in the evening, when the air cools, the parks come to life

a show of colors and cheering children chasing each other in and around gigantic rides

I admit, more than once I have had the thought of splurging and trying one of those slides

and then, almost everywhere there are meeting points where you can eat on the street.

there are these small motor vehicles which, depending on what they cook, are equipped differently. each one is different from the other and in each one, looking closely, it is surprising. I think that for each of these mini-activities there should be a separate post.

my journey continued through the same park as last night.

I got home and I'm going out again soon. Before I leave, I wanted to share with you a short story I wrote today.

This is the first story of a series of stories that I will insert in a book that will be called:

"despite everything I want to marry a Chinese woman" ​

because it is not easy to find a meeting point between two cultures as different as ours.

The aim is to create, through stories, a bridge between my world and their world. Make both parties understand that we are different but still the same.

It doesn't take much to understand each other and it doesn't take much to create an irrecoverable misunderstanding.

Linguistic and cultural barriers can be overcome with humility, intelligence and mutual respect.

In one year I learned a lot from them. I had a hard time understanding certain aspects. I paid dearly for this ignorance of their culture.

I found and then lost.

this is me at the pinnacle of that happiness

And even though I still struggle to accept it, I've never given up. I continued and still continue my growth path. ​

To all those who have known me and let go I want to say one thing: the only real prison is the barriers of our mind.

Change is possible if you want it.

But every change is painful.

Those who are afraid of pain are afraid of change.

Those who are afraid of change will never find themselves.

Seeing you prisoners saddens me because I can't do anything to free you.

Short story

TITLE: NASHI

She returns home to her husband;

she just got back from the supermarket.

The husband is sitting on the sofa watching the moto gp.

After placing the shopping bags in the kitchen, she takes a piece of fruit and walks towards him:

• Hold love taste this pear, it's delicious!

He turns to his wife and perplexed exclaims:

• Pear? Can't you see it's an apple?

• Pears in China are made like this. I said taste!

Between the two begins an exchange of jokes that passes in a few moments, like the tempo of a song, from the grave, off, to the lake, to the adagio, to the andante, to the andantino, to the moderato, to the allegretto and all 'cheerful...

Here the two take a break to catch their breath.

In this moment of respite, he begins to type something on his cell phone and, shortly after, with a mischievous smile, he shows the screen to his wife:

• Here, look! If you don't believe me, then believe what they say..

The man doesn't have time to finish the sentence.

The words are forced back into his throat by the fruit that his wife stuffed into his mouth.

• Now stop! I said taste...

The resigned man carries out the order.

The wife watches satisfied.

• So, how does it look to you? - she asks

• You know, you were right. this pear is really good - he replies.

She looks at him smiling.

• Can you see that I was right?

The two of them sit together on the couch.

The bikes are on the starting grid warming up their engines.​ ​

The race is about to begin. ​ ​

that's all.

I beg to have gladdened your time for a little while.

we will see each other soon.
