shame | My friend had many female friends and I thought that they were
his lovers. I would scold him but he did not accept my advice.
Later I learnt from his girlfriends that this was not true. I
felt ashamed at having misunderstood him. | null |
guilt | In the past I used to think that my mother was a very nagging
person. When I started living at the hostel we had little time
to meet each other. Whenever I went home she would take care
of me. I gradually realized that what she had done was for my
own good. So very time I saw her I felt guilty. | null |
joy | In August,1983, the long awaited "big envelope" (a document for
C.U.H.K admission) arrived. It was in the afternoon and I had
not been doing anything. When the postman, with his big bag,
knocked on the door I knew what it was about. I hurriedly
opened the envelope and my mood at that time is hard to describe.
It lasted several hours and only calmed down later. | null |
fear | On Christmas eve,1984, I had just finished the exams and was
afraid as the results of one of my major subjects had been very
unsatisfactory. I thought that I had only a 50% chance of
passing. Even if I failed this subject I would not need to
repeat. However I liked this subject very much and my results
were bad because of my lazyness. If I was forced to change to a
minor in this subject I would be very unwilling. | null |
anger | In September 1984, I was forced to live with someone I did not
like. The first week we were at loggerheads and our conversation
was like a debate. The atmosphere was very bad. When he learnt
that I had got 95 marks in a test he told me " A failure, You lost
5 marks." I was very angry, not because my marks were lower
than his, but because I could not tolerate his pride. I did not
show my discontentment and carried on doing my work. | null |
fear | This issue worried me rather than saddening me. In mid September
I went to Guanggho alone. I was looking for an accomodation in
the evening and after having walked 2 or 3 miles I still could not
find anything. What could I do? I was not worried about
sleeping on the streets but because of some procedural problems.
I finally found a place to sleep at 8 o'clock. | null |
anger | My roommate liked to listen to some meaningless songs which had
melody but had no content. We lived together so when he played
the recorder I was forced to listen to them. I could not tell
him that I did not like to listen to the songs, as I had no right
to disturb the freedom of others. So I would find a pretext to
leave the room and go somewhere else. | null |
shame | Last Summer I went camping with some C.U students. As I was
working then, I had to leave the second night (some of them had
joined us the first night). Next morning, 6 o'clock, a female
classmate knocked on our door and tried to wake us up. I was not
fully conscious and I said something which I should not have. I
realized the trouble I had made and wanted to hide. Later I
said sorry to her and the matter came to an end. | null |
shame | I lied to one of my best friends. | null |
joy | I received a letter from a distant friend. | null |
fear | My parents were out and I was the eldest at home. At midnight a
male stranger phoned us and spoke to me in a rough language. I
hung up and heard someone walking outside our door. | null |
shame | Two years back someone invited me to be the tutor of her
grand-daughter. The grand-daughter asked me some questions in
mathematics so I taught her. However she did not listen to me
and this made me feel unhappy. The second year it was the same.
When I entered university the girl's parents suggested that I be
employed as their daghters tutor. They told me that at university
there was no homework and I would have a lot of time so they
made a time-table for me which required me to be the tutor five
days a week. They did not respect me and anyway I had another
child to teach. | null |
shame | I had taken the responsibility to do something and I had
prepared for it. However I failed because of my timidity. After
three attempts I still could not adapt to the atmosphere and
failed as before. I felt imcompetent and felt that the others
would think that I had not prepared for it. | null |
fear | I was at home and I heard a loud sound of spitting outside the
door. I thought that one of my family members would step on the spit
and bring the germs in the house. | null |
guilt | I did not do the homework that the teacher had asked us to do. I
was scolded immediately. | null |
fear | I had shouted at my younger brother and he was always afraid when
I called out loudly. | null |
