weibo - farewell to Taiwan friends

 [四哥感言] 之「緣」

緣去情相連

恩在義長存

始滅總有因

默予天打算

合久未必分

要分也隨緣

今朝惜一别

情義心中誌

天南地北遠

誰道不復見

願親多保重

靜待再聚時

4th Brother's  Reflection on Fate (yuan)

Fate departs, feelings still interlinked

Goodwill remains, brotherhood long lasting

The beginning of the end always has a reason

Submit silently to heaven's plan

Together for long does not always ends in parting

If have to part so be it if so fated.

Today, reluctantly have to part

 Loyal comradeship imprinted in the heart

The four cardinal corners are far apart

But who can say we'll not meet again

Wishing kin and kith all the best

Serenely waiting for the next reunion

Taiwan Trip

Just went to Taiwan for 5 days, the primary reason was to visit an elder whom I have known for almost twenty years, and who has always looked upon me as her real nephew. She still looks as sprightly as ever, her face, radiant, so totally unlike a 70-year old chronic patient who has been through several surgeries.

This elder whom I love and respect, and who has surmounted one hurdle after another - when we met I had this urge to cry right there and then.  Of course, I controlled myself but seeing her continue to stay healthy and happy, I am truly very moved, even more so, very gratified.

Another motive for for my trip is for a get- together with two actors, Huang Jian Qun (黃建群), and Wu Yue, whom I got to know when shooting LOTYEF.  Huang Jian Qun is a Taiwan actor. Wu Yue wen to Taiwan for the first time because of his participation in a stage play over there. (tn:Monkey King play)  I recall at Hengdian we had already agreed that when I go to Taiwan, Jian Qun and I would visit the Monkey King stage rehearsal, after which we would go out for dinner and drinks.

Brother, that was my promise to you and I kept it! But still need to pay some compliments: Your ability at stage play is truly not bad at all! Just the rehearsal itself was already quite exciting, I believe your play 孫飛虎搶親 will sell out. Add oil!

weibo2012 3/25 - taipei trip - get -together

3/25 20:34  On this Taipei visit, happy to get together with my two brothers from the "Legend of the Yuan Dynasty Founder" , but happier still was seeing an old friend of two decades, an elder who has always treated me like her real nephew, though in her 70s she is still in good health -  this, not only moved me, even more so, made me feel blessed.  

是次到台北 除了開心能與兩位建元風雲的兄弟重聚 更是 一位與我認識快二十年 一直視我如親子侄 也年過七十的長輩 她的身體終見無恙 這 教我感動之餘 更覺感恩

Weibo: 3/24 Walking the streets of Taipei, once again

3/24 22:55  Today in Taipei, step by step I walked and walked, looking  for that feeling I once had many years ago.  The  180 days or more of that period, the people of that period, the happenings of that period, you all are now scattered. The places I once went I revisited them all today, because of this sentiment. Maybe I'm not as passionate in love as I thought, but my sentimentality  over friendship was greater than I thought, friends ya, companions ya, all, self-evident with spoken.

今天 在台北 一步一步 走著走著 在找 一份多年前的感覺 曾經 曾經的一百八十多天 曾經的那些人 曾經的那些事 你們 今天都各散東西 我 曾經到過的 今天都去了 為的 是一份懷念 也許 我沒想像中多情 但 我比想像中重情 友啊 伴啊 一切 不言而諭
