Having fun in good company
There is an old Chinese saying “在家靠父母, 出外靠朋友” meaning at home you rely on your parents, when you are outside you rely on your friends. Whoever coined that phrase was very wise because this is all very true. The value of friendship is not just confined to the Chinese, but also elsewhere. Did you watch the hit American sitcom “Friends”?
I remember embarking on an adventure which I thought would last a couple of years. I end up being away from home for coming to 15 years now. Armed with only a small suitcase, I headed up north to start a new job in Beijing. I knew no one, except my boss! Scary if you think about it, a lone woman in a place she had never ventured, however exotic and attractive the place!

Getting to know people and making friends quickly was important. I am thankful to my Beijing friends who took me in and welcomed me with open arms. They were my pillars of strength, helping me to settle in to this huge and unfamiliar city. Being my teachers and friends in the over 3.5 years I spent there, we enjoyed great times together. From hiking, climbing and camping the well trodden and the less traveled paths of the Great Wall, to experimenting with exotic foods, to experiencing life old and new. We also feared together, keeping company through the deadly and scary SARS epidemic.
Following Beijing, I made great friendships in other cities where I lived and worked – Shanghai and now in Hong Kong! I discovered Park Sihoo while I am in Hong Kong and that love grew stronger not only because of him but in the company of the few Hong Kong fans whom I can openly share the joy of this man. Thanks too to the good company of the many virtual friends I have found, all because of Park Sihoo-ssi. Friends made because we share a common love and interest. Great to know you wonderful ladies!
Have a good time in good company
Friends and friendships are of paramount importance to me and I treasure friends I have made.
And where are all these outpourings leading to? Having found the joy of friendship, I am so glad to see Park Sihoo-ssi in the company of friends too! He has very much kept his private life private – and well it should be, unless he decides to share. And he did this with his recent photos on Instagram. It is good to know that he has kept good company over the years.
Life as a top star can be lonely. You have intrusive eyes of fans and obnoxious people who think because you are a public figure, they have every right to know everything about you and will care less to go invade your privacy. Likely, you will be wary of the company you keep. So difficult to let your hair down! It is only among good friends that you can be yourself.
To friendship!
I am glad that Park Sihoo-ssi is not leading a lonely and solitary existence. Good that he has a core group of friends whom he can hang out with and enjoy some companionship. Seeing him enjoying the water sport he so loves, taking in the great outdoors and partying with friends, leading a normal life as he should have, mother hen that I am, I feel very comforted.
He’s in good company!

老友记!
中文有句老话”在家靠父母，出外靠朋友”。写出这句话的人非常明智，因为这非常真实。友谊的价值并不只是在中国被看重，在世界各地都一样。有没有观看红遍世界的美国喜剧“老友记Friends”？
记得多年前离乡背井的我，本以为只做两三年的探险家，不知不觉已远离家乡即将15年了。只武装着一个小皮箱，往北上到了北京开始一份新的工作。什么人都不认识，唯有我的老板！从来没有去过中国，但被充满异国情调的北京给吸引了，现在仔细想想，单独一个女孩，自闯异国可是蛮可怕的事！
Enjoy doing things together
当时，快速认识交朋友对我是非常重要的。很感谢北京认识的朋友，张开友谊双手欢迎我。他们是我的力量支柱，帮我了解和适应这个巨大而陌生的城市。他们是我的老师和朋友，一起度过了3年半欢乐的时光。在熟悉和野长城远足，爬山和露营，尝试异国食品，体验新和旧生活方式。一起担忧，一起度过那可怕的非典SARS期间。
继北京，在其他城市生活和工作时 ，在上海和现在香港，交了更多的好朋友！发现施厚君的存在是在香港，而对他的热爱，不仅是因为他自己本身的因素，也因为有香港厚粉姐妹们，可以公开分享这人给我们带来的喜悦。因为施厚君，在互联网上也认识了许多有着共同爱好和兴趣的姐妹们， 感到非常高兴满足！
In good company
朋友和友情对我非常重要，我重视和珍惜我所交上的朋友。
这么罗嗦，写了这么一大篇，想表达什么呢？我发现了友情的欢乐，也很高兴看到施厚君和好朋友活动交流！他一直保留他私人生活 – 毕竟私人的生活不必要公开，除非他自己分享。他最近在Instagram上分享了。知道他多年来保持着良好的朋友关系，为他高兴。
作为一位顶级明星，生活可能非常孤独。你的一举一动，都被粉丝和一些厌恶，认为他们有权利知道公众人物的一切的人给监视，不停的挖你私人的信息。完全失去了个人空间的你，会警惕交往的人！唯有在最要好朋友的陪同下， 才会放松警惕。
看到施厚君不是过着孤独的生活，享受着他热爱的水上运动，在户外活动和跟朋友聚会，过着他应该有的正常生活， 像母鸡担忧她的小鸡一样，我感到非常安慰。他拥有一群好友，可以一起作乐！真为他高兴！
Enjoying great company

Thank you for your insightful thoughts as always! To our beautiful friendship!
Me too am feeling the joy that radiate from PSH’s sharing of his private activities. Mind you, he doesn’t need to. But he chose to be that generous even revealing his personal activities including friend’s birthday party etc. I am not a public figure yet I am cautious of keeping enough of my private life private hence not everyone asking me to be their facebook friend I will accept, I hope I haven’t offended anyone so far. However just a point to show how generous PSH has been especially he is such a sought after public hot superstar. Friends are so valuable to us, Nance, completely agree with you. Our friends are our biggest assets. Me too when I left my motherland 22 years ago, it was only a suitcase and I thought I would return one day, nuh, is a trip of no return. And how did those completely on my own years turn out? Fabulous and fantastic, thanks to the many new friends in new countries. That was pre internet age, today not only the friends around you, we also made great friends via the internet. So Cheers to Friendship! And having spent my last 9 months non stop paying attention and interest on PSH, I feel like he is a dear friend by now, a very dear virtual friend. Someone who likes to now and then inject some fun into Instagram or Weibo or WeChat (I believe he updates his Korean and Japan fan groups too). Such happiness and joy from friendship — money can’t buy.
I want to say how much I appreciate and treasure the support and friendship you ladies, my virtual friends, you have given me. Our common love and interest in Park Sihoo-ssi brought us together and I hope that we can all continue to strengthen this love and friendship, not just because of him, but that we get to know one another more and deepen our bonding and friendship. As I have said previously, language is definitely no barrier…we can always use online translators! I see and hear your comments. I may not be able to answer all of them, but know that I endeavor to read all of them! Keep them coming and share your thoughts with every one. Thank you! Nance
At this very moment, my spirit for virtual fanship and friendship is heighten to its utmost due to the very positive reassurance of my yesterday discovery of a young male uni student from Persia who for the very same reason of why we became PSH’s fan. Even the scenes he selected as example of touching in QOR (when PSH meeting his birth mother) is so similar to my choice. I am still in awe. While here I am trying so hard to get my close circle to share the beauty of discovering Sihooland but no taker, no one take my genuine no ulterior motive sharing – just want my good mates to share the same delightful joy but so hard to crack those nuts, but there this 20 year old mechanical engineering student whose 1st language is Iranian, OMG, 20 years old…and he sees exactly what I see in PSH. Hit me with a hammer…….
Very well said Nance:”When you are home you rely on your parents, when you are outside you rely on your friends.” From the very early childhood we like to have friends, to play with them, to enjoy things together , to learn together, to discover new and interesting things together. And I always hear my grand-daughter ,6, asking children she meets:””Will you be my friend?” After years, as grown ups to have true friends is like diamonds. They shine for us even on the darkest days. Speaking of PSH, he has a lot of friends surrounding him, bringing him positivity, encouraging him, uplifting him. He is a lucky man having friends from his childhood, being with him in every difficult journey of life. They are indeed His True Friends. And as someone said:”Happy is the soul that has a friend. Happier is the soul that trusts in the truth of the heart of a friend. Happiest is the soul that knows the solemnity of friendship and honours its laws.” And happy is PSH in the company of his True Friends!
