十年前,一个朋友问我要不要移民到新西兰,我拒绝了,在我的印象中那是个在天边的国家,离我的生活是那么遥远。五年前,当亲朋好友催促我生养孩子的时候,我又拒绝了,因为我总觉得我对生活还有着另一种期待,孩子意味着付出和责任,年轻的我还无力去承担。而今天的我,却一一实现了那些曾经拒绝过的事情——当了妈妈,而且还是在远在天边的新西兰。 Ten years ago, a friend asked me if I would immigrate to New Zealand. I rejected it. In my mind, it is a country on the horizon and it is so far away from my life. When my friends and family urged me to have children five years ago, I refused because I always felt that I had another expectation of life. Children meant paying and responsibility. I was young and could not afford it. Today, I, however, realized all those once rejected - as a mother, but also in New Zealand far away.
