去年今天

去年今天你在做什么？
What did you do today in last year?

我在日本和秋天有个邂逅。
I was at Japan, falling in love with Autumn.
 

我是个有福的人，很幸运当时被公司委派去日本南部考察。
I always feel that I am a very lucky person. I was being selected by my organization for a study trip to South Japan.
除了考察，当然是尽最大力气去看、去逛、去记住这个美丽的国都，同时享受秋天的宁静。
Other than learning the Japanese system, of course with the greatest effort to see, to visit as many places as I can and to remember this beautiful country, as well as enjoying the serenity of the Autumn.

日本的北九州市(Kitakyushu-shi)，是个非常舒服的地方。
Kitakyushu-shi is a very nice and comfortable place.
其让人感觉舒服的部分是拥有宽敞的空间，宽敞的行人道，建筑之间也不会让你感到很有压迫感，就是协调得很自然。
It has a very spacious environment, wide pedestrian walk way, the setting between buildings also does not make you feel oppressive; it is just so naturally coordinated.

这里地方虽然很大但却不是大城市，这里的生活步骤也不快。
Kitakyushu-shi is quite a big area/ district, but it is not a metropolis. The life at here is also just in a moderate pace.
你会看到很多老人家在路上行走，都很独立却也是孤独的。 
You will see a lot of elderly on the road, they are very independent, but I also see the lonely shadow of them.
这里不喧闹，路上的汽车也不多。
This is a very peaceful and quite place, there was not many cars on the road as well.

秋天的气候寒冷凉快，这里的一切一切美得让人想恋爱。
The cold and cool climate of Autumn, the mountain, the people, the land and sky, everything here was so beautiful until made you feel you want to be in love.
当时的我很有感触地在心头里想，如果我有爱人，能够和她在这寒冷的秋天，手牵手漫步在这秋叶转红的道路；那么此刻世间不再无需语言，寒冷变得多么的美，因为我牵着你温暖的手心。
I was very touched with the beauty of this land and was thinking in my heart that, if I have a lover and could hand in hand walk along this red autumn leaves' road, then this world is no longer require any language during that moment but just feel the beauty of serenity and the cold; because I have you with me, I am holding your warm hand.
幸福其实就是当你感觉当下那一刹那拥有着不变不移的永恒。这不也是一种浪漫吗？
Happiness is when you feel the inalienable eternal in the flash of present moment. 
I think it is also a kind of romantic, isn't it?

我怀念日本秋天的美。
I miss the beauty of the autumn in Japan.

我不知此生还有没有因缘再踏足日本，但是我希望日后有机会和爱人漫步在日本这宁静的秋季道路，看秋叶转红，看它被风吹起的妩媚......
I do not know whether I will be able to set foot in Japan again or not in the rest of my life, but I am looking forward for the opportunity to walk along this peaceful and serene Autumn road in Japan, with my lover, to see the autumn leaves turn red, to see it's windblown charming......
