rendition of the opening chapeter of my walk across America.
Unlike me, America is NOT the only neck of your woods. I'm quite sure part of you has never left China. Indeed, I think it is fair to say that you have never left China behind because you have never fallen behind China. You are behind China, and that's why China'd better be forward-looking.
Above, I have just pasted your gracious and graceful renditon, together with my heartfelt thank-you in the form of a traditonal Chinese ci poem.
《念奴嬌：答謝甜虫虫文友美語朗讀拙作》
西風客裏、憶東風祝酒，朔風吟雪；
更憶荷風吹岸綠，最憶稻香吳越。
暗憶前生：拂塵驕柳，腰細偏難折。
今生愛似、柳絲長繫江浙。
一夢再夢春航，放舟輕渡，萬水開懷闊。
背向京華揮兩袖，忘顧飛花飛沫。
默默遙思、慈顏笑對，相見深深靨。
天涯歸晚，掛帆先掛鄉月。
—— 颺
