I got off from a bus that had just got out from the long River Mersey tunnel. Just now at the Bus Terminal, I misunderstood an old lady who was trying to show me the way, 'the next stop', she pointed somewhere. 'So can I just walk there?' said I. It must be just a mere few hundred yards away, I thought to myself. 'Can you understand English?' she didn't seem at all annoyed. She walked, I followed her, just a few meters away under the same roof, we moved from Gate 6 to Gate 7, where different buses come in to pick up passengers. So I managed to get back. It was dark now in the city centre. I remember the only time when a teenager asked me for some money for a phone call. He began the conversation by asking, 'Speak English?' But now it was the last night of the Proms, the end of a two-month long season of non-paused classical concerts. What a surprise it was to find this big wide television screen high above next to Clayton Square was showing this as well, live from the Royal ...

Sorry for the absence for the last two months and I apologize for my laziness but I hope you have all been well. I'm from a hardworking country who is rapidly making life better for so many, but people in the west sees it quite differently, in many different ways too. I'm very glad that they do. The same as they have been with issues within themselves. I can see the courage in here, the courage to be dissatisfied with what you have, and to make fun of them, and not avoiding speaking out issues that we face. I should have learnt a great deal of that during the first two years as a student majoring in English language. It is not valued any less, I have to say, by the ancient Chinese literature that we learnt in high school. Politics is Politicians' matter, and none of us are able to see through what plot is behind it. So disappointed can you be by the media and believe that they are all controlled.

A 世界A对世界B的人说，你们了解我们还不如我们对你们了解得多，有什么资格评判我们如何不是呢？ 世界B对世界A的人说，你们连说什么、看什么都被限制着，言不由衷，说我们有偏见，叫人怎么相信呢？ 不如给双方一点时间吧。 B 传教士A对同学B说，没有宗教怎么行呢？ 同学B说，为什么要非要把一个地方的信仰扩张到与它毫不相干的地方呢？ 传教士A说，好的东西怎么可以独自占有而不分享呢？ 同学B说，怎么知道你认为好的东西对别人就一定好呢？ 传教士A无言。过了一会他说，我知道造字的人用“羊”和“我”组成了“義”字——这跟“我为羊，食我肉”的受难精神很巧合。 C 参加了一个去年患癌离世的本地音乐教师的纪念音乐会，在合唱席上，参与的同时又欣赏了表演。逝者与家人、亲友、同事、学生全因音乐走到了一起，如今音乐又是他们共同的慰藉。鲁特（John Rutter）的歌曲都特别优美，我们唱了他的 'For the Beauty of the Earth', 'Gaelic Blessing' 和 'Requiem' （安魂曲）。合唱席上身服装白色，每人胸前别上了一朵新鲜玫瑰花。 玫瑰被采摘，注定明天就要枯萎。太美丽的生命，是不是上主也太喜欢，而被太早地采摘到了一个叫天堂的地方？ 我们无从知道，但我们有能力珍惜。 D 她自己下了车，坐回到轮椅上。我忘不了短短几天里脑海中属于她的图景，那双强壮的臂膀支撑着她所有日常运动。她给我写了 'With Love From Belgium' 几个字, 让我感到我那天不小心问她的尴尬问题仿佛全化解了。 轮椅不只是跟我们那副眼镜一样平常吗？
