她住这里快半年了。在搬来之前的三个月，她和房东商量，在地面砖头之上，重新铺一层地板。她身体不好，怕凉。她又粉刷了墙壁。整个房间收拾之后，焕然一新。这是一室一厅，还带着透明玻璃窗的阳台，独门独院，在后海胡同内，月房租要2000元。
她把住所称为“长乐”，父亲给她书写条幅，挂在墙壁。她喜欢一个人的生活，一直独居。有两年，她辞职在家，每天上午必看一张碟片，下午看书，晒太阳，和朋友聊天，日子过得飞快，她喜欢过一种悠闲的生活。
有一年去西藏之后，感冒长期不好。她看中医，吃中药，调理过来了。去年，一场变故，她的身体又变得糟糕，又继续看中医，持久吃中药。
从事媒体行业许多年，包括网络媒体，IT媒体，现在仍旧在媒体圈。
她喜欢这个院子。有一棵大枣树，很粗的枝干。在阳光好的时刻，她坐在藤椅上晒太阳，喝茶。或者浇花，有凤尾竹、柠檬。也种过雏菊，不幸被打翻了，她考虑再种点别的。

She lives here for almost half a year.Three months earlier before she moved in,she discussed with the landlord and laid down a new floor which was originally paved with brick.She is a little down in health,afraid of the cold.She painted the wall again.After she tidied up the room,it looked brand new.It is a flat，as a separated house in Houhai alley，with one bedroom and one living room, with a balcony whose windowpanes are transparent glass It charges 2,000 yuan per month.
She calls her place “Lasting Happiness”.Her father writes her a scroll of calligraphy which hangs on the wall.She likes being alone,in solitude.For two years,after resignation,she stayed at home.Every morning,she would watch a film.In the afternoon she would read books,bask in the sunshine and chat with friends.Time passed soon in this lifestyle,and she enjoyed living a carefree life.
One year,she went to Tibet and caught a cold which had kept her ill for a long time. She went to see a doctor of traditional Chinese medicine,took traditional Chinese medicine and strengthened our health.Last year,a misfortune made her health worsen,so she went on taking traditional Chinese medicine.
She has worked in the media industry for years,including digital media,IT media.Now she is still in this business.
She likes this yard.There is a big jujube tree with thick branches.In sunny days,she would sit in the cane chair,enjoying the sunlight and the tea,or watering flowers like fern-leaf hedge bamboo and lemon.She once grew daisy,but the flower pot was turned over,so she decided to plant something else.
