A Remarkable Meet-up with my Childhood Friend
Yī nuò is my beautiful nickname, given to me by my parents after consulting a local fortune teller. The name means the ‘chosen one.’ The idea that the name meant my life’s mission was great, larger than one could ever think of, was instilled by a feng shui master, who asserted that the positive predictions made by my parents would come to be.
On that fateful day, I was graced enough to meet my American childhood friend, who I planned to take for a treat at my favorite Chinese Opera joint. My friend’s name was drawn from her prevalent behavior as a child. I remembered her for her vibrance, eloquence, and warm attitude since our first day as kindergarten pupils.

I was amazed at the sound of traditional Chinese Opera. My friend was surprised to realize that vocalization was most important here, and Chinese music just needed light instruments. The music had a soothing effect and brought forth harmony across the room. Being in that club hall for two hours made me feel born again; I was uplifted. Later that evening, we agreed to take up an entertainment activity together. We decided to go bowling, one of my favorite games since I was a teenager. We played using special cosmic balls that produced a significant glow-in-the-dark. We also went horse racing and watched a Chinese martial instructor train young men and women. Although I would have preferred to engage in other entertainment activities to accommodate my American friend better, I made sure that I hyped her so that she could enjoy as I was.
