Tomorrow is another day, I hope

Many people seem to believe that tomorrow will be another new day, it means no matter what you have done before, they can't be your burden again. But can they?
China is a nation which has a long history, not like the United States, the impact of tradition is deeply rooted in every person's mind. Even the most Westernized people can't invade this tradition completely, concretely speaking, if a Chinese do something violating the moral one set for himself, he will remenber that thing all through his life, no matter how hard he do to compensate his fault, and the normal Chinese people don't have the religious belief, they can't go for the god and appeal to forgiving, they don't know how to be forgiven, thus don't know how to forget those things, so they thing may be nobody can be forgiven, such notion is very powerful.
So, for many of us, it's difficult to take tomorrow as a new day, the traditon is around us.
