I literally spent the 4th of July in America, I had heard and known that this was a big day for this country. It is pretty easy to understand, because we have such an important and solemn festival in China, too, which is October 1st.
I've never seen that many people coming out of the house until yesterday, it seemed all the habitants just popped out for this special day, family gathering, friends party, big dinner...It's such a sunshine day, another beautiful southern California day, smiles, soft words from their mouth, and drinks in their hands.
By 8pm, cars got crowded on the road, cops parked by the road to regulate all the traffics, but it looked like the traffic could just get worse, drivers lined up and waited to get in patiently. As it became dark, slowly, I could see people were on chairs in the park, people stood by the streets---they were anticipating the big firework's coming.
It is a big 4th of July in the U.S, as what Robert said to me yesterday afternoon, "Let's go and see the firework, we are still a young and proud country."
Yes it is indeed.
