好久没来了,因为一个月前,九月十一号,身体发生了一点小状况。什么事呢?偷个懒,请大家读读我的朋友Peter九月十五日发给我们一些共同的朋友的一封电子邮件吧。

Dear Friends,

I wanted to let you know that Rong has had a stroke. It occurred on Sep 11th (Rong and I   had a laugh about this date) and has affected mobility in his left hand arm and leg. As with the humility we know of Rong, he told me it was a small stroke.

I saw Rong yesterday (Saturday 14th) and he appeared to be in very good spirits. Indeed, I interrupted a game of Chinese checkers he was playing with his wife.

Yesterday his left arm was much stronger than previous days. He now needs to improve the strength in his left leg. This may require rehabilitation.

When you hear of these things it is natural to consider the worst. However, in Rong's case I can only assure you that his mind is as sharp as ever. His left hand has improved since the stroke as of yesterday, and I hope his left leg will improve with rehabilitation.

Rong was very confident of our lunch with you, Roger, later this year.

As of yesterday, Sept 14th Rong was in Box Hill Hospital, Ward 3 South and Room 8 but he is likely to move to a rehabilitation center soon.

Best regards, Peter

过去的一个月里,在家人和朋友们的关怀和问候中,身体日益康复。十月的墨尔本正是仲春季节,庭院里的君子兰、玫瑰花、还有一些不知名的小花竞相开放,连那株已经枯死多年、锯得只剩一段树桩的李子树,也迸射出新枝,在风中舞动着紫红色的嫩叶,宣告生命的胜利。眼前的春光,让我想起刘禹锡的名句:“沉舟侧畔千帆过,病树前头万木春。”这种面对世事变迁的豁达和乐观,颇合我当下的心境。而这心境,则是比春光更加温暖的亲情和友情带给我的。
