In 1955, Eileen Chang met Hu Shi in New York, Eileen Chang has been seeing Hu Shi for the first time. Also that year, my mother came to this world.

That year autumn, Hu Shi in New York on their apartment living room to see this extraordinary woman, she and a man named Sakura girlfriend with. Hu Shi did not expect Eileen Chang's silent thinking, her natural there is a kind of a thousand li away noble temperament, but the arthritis, is very lively, Hu Shi

And Jiang Dongxiu liked her, even chat very happy.

This should not be what "reduced the same person". Two others in the eyes of the world idol, here and now, for which, the most simple to meet, but also the most sincere warmth.

For Eileen Chang, New York is still the secular goals she tried to proclaim to the world the talent, but for Hu Shi, it is not a spiritual island. When God just let go, they are so unable to hold oneself back to escape the city is full of free and full of the desire of the city.

Before leaving New York port for an instant, I do not know whether it will be remembered that engraved on Statue of Liberty's poem: welcome you / the tired and poor, huddled masses yearning to breathe free / the streams of people busily coming and going of the abandoned / poor people.

A bit far.

Again, see again "this is New York" E.B. White's essays. In 2001, after 9.11 after the Americans once again opened the book, they found no prophecy to read these leaden fifty-three years ago: "the most subtle changes in New York, everybody do not speak, but everyone knew. The city, in its long history, the first time the destruction may. Only a small group of aircraft with word formation, then can be end of Manhattan Island Rhapsody, let it towers lit the fire, destroying the bridge, the underground passage into the gas chamber, millions of people to ashes. Death is a part of the hint of life in New York: the head of the jet roared, headlines newspapers are transmitted."

I'm sorry, in this gray text on New York. Remember the salary or timely picture 9.11, during that time in Guangzhou, is also be forced to leave one's hometown.
