答案 How to deal with a gift or money?
    It seems not a difficult decision for me. But if I were given the gift of money in different times, I would have different answers.
    If I were given the money when I was in my high school, I would buy a ticket to a conceit. I had been longing for attending concerts of famous artists to enjoy those transcendent pieces such as saxophone of Kenny G., rock and roll of Cui Jian, and romantic songs of Luo Dayou. Unfortunately I just was not able to afford those exorbitant prices. The given amount should be better if it is enough for several tickets so that I could take along my best friends, whose situations were much similar to mine.
    If I were given the money when I was in the university, I would buy a fine piece of jewelry, and give it to my girl friend as a casual present, for we might enjoy a certain concert, but hardly could it be permanently impressive. Memories are always not reliable. We tend to simply forget anything—at best, memories are somewhat distorted—if time passes long enough. But if I bought my girl friend a piece of jewelry, not costly though it might be, it would be a perfect reminder, being never changed.
    If I were given the money recently, it would only make me feel funny. I do not want to go to concerts anymore, because I became more and more reluctant to be in crowded public places, and besides, I have bought a super hi-fi which always brings me identical pleasure. And I do not want to buy any jewelry either, for it is meaningless for a man who is now solitary. Nevertheless, if I were forced to accept some money as a gift—it hardly happens—I might buy some books, after all, reading always makes me relaxed and amazed.
