The word “friend” covers a wide range of meanings. It can be a nodding acquaintance, a confidant, a partner, a good colleague and so on.

Everyone needs friendship. No one can sail on the ocean of life single-handed. We need help, and also give help to others. In modern times, people pay more attention to relations and connections. A man of charisma(魅力) has many friends. His power lies in his ability.

As life is full of conflicts, we need friends to support and help us out of difficulties. Our friends give us warnings against danger. Our friends offer us advice about how to deal with various situations. True friends share not only our joys but also our sorrows.

With friendship, life is happy and harmonious. Without friendship, life is sad and unlucky. I have friends in high positions and friends in the rank and file. Some are rich and in power. Some are relatively poor and without power. Some are like myself, working as a teacher, reading and writing, content with a simple life. We all care for each other, love and help each other. We feel we are happiest when we chat and exchange ideas with one another. With my friends, I know what to treasure, what to tolerate and what to share.
