answers
  in my youth, if i could have traveled to another country, i would have, but i had to work, as our family was very poor and needed another wage. that meant i could not finish my education. ma li, education is very important. a good education will help you succeed. should you get into university in the future, you would have to go and take the opportunity. this will enable you to get a good job. had i had the chance, i would have really enjoyed it. i think i would have studied medicine. if you should get the chance to go overseas, then you should take it. i think it is very important to try to understand as much about the world as possible and travel helps you to do that. hopefully you might become a successful business person or a consultant some day. were you to do that, you would certainly have our approval and we would all be very  proud of you. i am an ld man now, but i still have an ambition to travel to beijing one day. should i get to beijing, i would visit the forbidden city where the emperors once lived. but i wonder, ma li, had i had more opportunities when i was growing up, would i have been as happy as i am now?
