做梦的空间（下）(19)
Followed my speech was a thunderous applause from the audience. And thus my story came to a perfect halt.
当我演讲完毕，台下掌声雷动，我的故事也由此画上了一个完满的句号。

（本故事纯属虚构，如有雷同纯属巧合）
Postscript: I was engaged as a tenured professor at Princeton. However, as the price abroad was too high and my homesickness grew stronger and stronger with days, I finally returned to my motherland when I was as old as the hills. After a long separation of 60 years, I met Mary again. She had already been an aged woman with wrinkled face and humpback. In a prolonged conversation with her, I learnt her career was not so smooth as I imagined. Although she had a gift to excel in exams, she soon exposed her weakness and became at a loss when she left that kind of environment and entered the job market. She had very few opportunities to show her strength at work, and, you see, scarcely any leaders favor a subordinate with no special skills, even if he or she used to be a hero on the test paper. Mary had three relationships, but none of them lasted long. As she always tried to maintain her feeling of superiority and expected to be humored by the other side, she couldn't find a man to put up with her. Consequently, she was obliged to face a solitary old age. A previous top student in the education system became a good-for-nothing in real life now, who can tell it is right or wrong?
