my time capsule

I know everyone will leave the world one day, but always wants to make something to be permanent, never disappear and keep lasting. So we make time capsules to realize this dream.

Maybe one day I can keep my own time capsule. I want to put a Chinese dictionary and a n English dictionary first. A dictionary contains all the words in one language or culture. As we know, if there is no writing, there is no history. The culture before that writing is invented is called pre-history. I believe writing is the best representation of one culture, and the most valuable writing I reckon is the dictionary. It records every detail of the words, including their pronunciations, their meanings, and even their origins. Chinese is spoken by 1/5 of the total number of people in the world, and has been developing since thousands of years ago. It is the wisdom of Chinese people to create every meaningful character. English is also a wonderful language as it’s the most popular one now. It’s spoken by people in a number of countries. The quintessence of both languages is in the dictionary!!

Another thing I want to keep in the time capsule is an autobiography of myself. I want to preserve my memories and my experience. The only way to realize it is writing. From my stories, you can find the situation of the present society. Of course, you can see the daily life of a common person, me!

I only wish to keep these in my time capsule to let people in the future enjoy.
