- after reading your story and 雪的煙花's story, i begin to reflect whether i have changed too much by the US culture. in the US, I never borrow any money from friends. Only borrow money from banks or from my retirement funds. I may donate $20-$50 to friends as gift or for certain occasions but seldom more than that (except for organizations or events such as United Way or earthquake, in which case, usually donate $200-$500 and take tax deduction, too). On the other hand, if someone gave me any gift, especially cash, of more than $50, I would absolutely refuse/reject (of course, politely).
to LZ: you've got a valuable friendship that is difficult to find nowadays.

我那同學真的可好了，我後來想法弄她來美國，可她考不了托福，後來跟我的一個同事結婚了（是我來美國后兩個人在幫助我的過程中認識的），生了個兒子，全家一起去了加拿大，好報吧？

- haha, you know you have contradiction! 好朋友是不會計較錢的。<--> 計較錢的不一定就不是好朋友
笙簫難默: 是一個有效的辦法，好朋友是不會計較錢的。不過也分人，計較錢的不一定就不是好朋友，跟朋友生長的文化和家庭環境有關哈。
i'd like kinda summarize: in China, truly 好朋友是不會計較錢的. however, in the US, 計較錢的不一定就不是好朋友.

- your one complements this one. i wrote my thoughts on both of your writings in this column.
雪的煙花: 哈，我也寫了一篇。想說好朋友最好別扯進金錢關係哈
