This morning Chrysanthemum and I went to report our duty
at Practical Training School, Grace went with us. We waited
quite a while, at 11am, Comrade Lu from state bureau for
industry came to give a speech, and announced the details
of the travel schedule. We Qingdao-bound will leave by Train
116 on the afternoon of June 7, and the journey may take
a little more than one day. Chrysanthemum and all those heading
for Shijiazhuang will board the train at 6pm the same day.
In the afternoon, I went to visit Teacher Jiang with Chrysanthemum,
Grace, Eileen and Hills. Jiang bought some candies and peanuts,
and we enjoyed the treats while chatting about what featured
foods our respective assigned destinations may possess and
what brilliant future shall await our nation. We feel tremendously
proud for having an opportunity to help build our country’s
transport infrastructure. The graduates from our college
can be found on almost every rail line, which is certainly
a great honour. We stayed for more than an hour. When saying
good bye to him, Teacher Jiang wished each of us happy. I
think, everyone living in the new China is blessed with happiness.

今天到实用补校去报到，和菊凤同去，可娟亦陪我们去。等到十一点多才有一位工轻总局派来的卢同志来和我们谈话，并宣布我们去青岛的在六月七日下午乘116次车出发。大约一天多就可到了。菊凤将于七日上午六时乘车出发去石家庄。
下午和菊凤、可娟、秀玲、延岭同去拜访蒋文忠老师。蒋老师为我们买了糖果、花生。我们吃着、谈着，谈到各自工作地点的特产，谈到将来的美景，我们都为能亲身参加基本建设工作而感到自豪。在祖国各地的铁路线上都有我们的同学，这是一种光荣。我们聊了一个多小时才向老师告别。蒋老师最后祝福我们幸福。我感到，生长在新中国的每一个人都是幸福的。
