Features: I loved her for a long time, perhaps when I was immersed in it, I didn’t realize it, just loving silently. It wasn’t until I had to say goodbye that the emotions, like a flood breaking its dam, surged out and overwhelmed me. As I was about to shed tears and leave Oxford, every day, I treated it as our last love and our last farewell. I poured this inseparable attachment into those ancient buildings, those green trees and grass, the clear skies and starry nights, and the love of Oxford held by the teachers, classmates, and friends who accompanied me. My love for Oxford far exceeded my imagination. This stirring experience deep in my heart has become richer and more beautiful over time and space. If my homeland is my eternal homeland, my home, where my "roots" are, then Oxford is also my eternal homeland—my spiritual homeland, where I can find the "roots" of my spirit, and it is the soulmate I met during my studies away from home.
