Last month I received a postcard from my friend in Sanming. Sanming is a small town in western Fujian. My best friend lives there. Her name is Xiaojiao. We used to be classmates in middle school and although we don't see each other as often as before, we have kept in touch and frequently send letters to each other.
She sent me a pretty postcard to encourage me with my studies. In the summer, she could relax and enjoy her holiday but I had to study English in order to get ready for the
IELTS test. She told me that she was thinking of me and that I should study hard for my future. She said my efforts would payoff someday. We'll see... But her words were very motivating and touching.
The postcard represented her hometown, Sanming. It is a beautiful place surrounded by mountains. There were four pictures of different landscapes around her town. You could see a stunning waterfall, an impressive view of the mountains and one old temple under a cliff.
When Xiaojiao sends me letters or cards, she always buys a pretty stamp because she knows I collect them. She's a very considerate and thoughtful friend. I kept the postcard on my desk and everyone who comes to my house can see it. I often think of her and I can't wait to see her again. I keep all of her letters and cards because they are all very meaningful and they represent our friendship.
