At about 7:40pm, we started boarding ship.
Our beds were in the fourth class cabin, in the bottom of the ship. There are about ten big compartments, no door for each compartment and the biggest one can accommodate 24 people.
After setting up the luggage, I sat on Lussie's bed to watch each of our roommates. A farther and a daughter, they should go to Putuo Mountain for worship; a single middle-aged woman. From the conversation with her, I knew she is a mother who is returning home after seeing her daughter at a university in Shanghai. It seems that she was very proud of her daughter. An aged woman wearing glasses, who was above the proud mother, after getting on her bed, started reading. Compared with other people in the last class cabin, she was literate and dressed decently. She should be a devout Buddhist. The rest six are two couples and two singles. Among them, some should be residents of Putuo Island, some should be pilgrims. Though they were meanly dressed, sparely dieted, they seemed happy and passionate because they had pure but firm belief.
