Translated by Bob Chen
Procrastinate once,and procrastinate again, "To
Catch A Star on the Way" was started on this date due to no reasons other than the
fear of people's ridicule: "See for yourself, he's getting old, only writes about
reminiscence." Moreover the feeling of "the bird will die soon, her chirppings
are sad; the man's life is about to end, his words are kind." In fact when I think
about this dichotomy of yes/no, the answer is no. We have reached our golden years, having
the chance to look back, to reflect. Do the yuppies have the right stuff? Of course not,
I'm positive.
Looking back, toiling half a century's road is
definitely not short, there is more to come, it won't be like the past, by trial and
error, charging headlong was in bygone days, not anymore. Steadfastly I run towards the
goal! The deeds to be done are many, roll up my sleeves, not to pick fights, young man,
watch me.
Not too long ago, I wrote "Rocking into the
Night Clouds from the Porch", it is not merely an old stuffy piece, instead it's like
Jack Kennedy sitting in a Boston rocker, enjoying life!
Half of a century's work is not wasted, although it
is not always outstanding, it has enough shining moments, one cannot its uneventful. Deep
in my heart, I'm at peace, I treated myself fairly, and more so to others. If I offended
anyone, they were unintentional, I've no regrets! In the eyes of others, it might be
complaints, to me they are "muscle pains" only.
Don't weep for me, please do cheer me on!
Friends,wait and see!
