When I got the book "The Five People You Meet in Heaven", I started thinking about what kind of five people the author will tell us in the book. We have met thousands of thousands people in our life, some of them are our friends, and some of them are just strangers. People's memory include all of these people who we once met, but when people are old, they just can remember a few of them. How about after people die? Who will be remembered? Why? I believe heaven is exist though I don't know where it is. People who are kind will met their parents and friends in heaven; people who are bad will lose everything and have guilty feeling in heaven. This is my imagination about heaven. The book will talk about five people you meet in heaven, does it mean we can just meet only five people in heaven after we die? And I am very curious what kind of five people we will meet in heaven.

ReplyDelete"the first person eddie meets in heaven"
The first person Eddie meets in heaven is blue man. He ate silver nitrate which leads to his skin become blue. He came to Ruby Pier as a vaudevillian. In pier, he felt he is in heaven because he had a home and can walk along the beach without scaring people. In order to avoid hit Eddie, blue man died at heart attract. A after i read the section, i felt everyone, who appear in our life, must have some relative with us, although we do not know the connection. The reason of blue man thought Ruby Pier was his heaven really strike me. In the conversation between Eddie and he, he said "In the early mornings, if I wore long shirts and draped my head in a towel, I could walk along this beach without scaring people. It may not sound like much, but for me, it was a freedom I had rarely known."
When I read this paragraph, a really sad story suddenly strike my mind. This story happened in China at 2004. A Chinese university student Jiajue Ma, he killed his four roommates. The reason of that is other people always laughed at him. After he was arrested, he said because he was very poor, the prison uniform was the best cloth he wore, and the time he lived in prison was the best happy time in his life because no one laugh at him and he can eat the same food with others. In the past, I always thought prison was the hell. I never considered for some person the prison is the best place he lived in. Blue man and Jiajue Ma had very similar life experience. When I read blue man's story, I recall Jiajue Ma's story.
