日记
In the morning, I distributed some color pen and album paper to my team members, asking them to write something down for our boss who is leaving us next Friday and leave a little space for me to add some photos.
This has been a tradition not only in our team but also among the company, to make an album full of everyone's good wishes as well as the photos we took before to memorize the good times we have had together.
