I am here to tell you I am leaving. Eighty-seven years in this world, I have lived among the Japanese and watched them go. I have learned their talk. I have seen Jiang Kaishek rule and die. I nursed you when your parents were away working. In that little town where English is a luxury, I got you a tutor when you were in the sixth grade. I had insight and you are in the States now. I get to talk to you on my deathbed and in your dream All at the same time—with the Pacific Ocean wide apart! Will we see each other again? You are a Christian but I did not become one in time. I guess Jesus and Buddha never see each other. Let’s once again get onto my motorbike, You in front of me to the market every morning-- To the fishmonger who always put on a strange smile When I bargained with him; To the fruit woman who said to every customer They have got the smartest kid. Remember me, my grandson, and how it was— You little and me not so old. 奶奶来说拜拜 来跟你说我要走了 在这世上87个年头 我被日本人统治过也看着他们走 我还学会了日本话 接着我看蒋介石统治一直看到他也过世 我一手把你带大当你父母去了外地的城市 在我们那个学英文算是奢侈的小镇 我再你六年级的时候帮你找了家教 就是我有先见之明所以你人在美国 在我病床上竟然能到梦里和你讲话 而中间隔着长阔高深的太平洋 还会再见面吗我们 你受洗信了主我却来不及 佛祖和耶稣大概从不碰头的吧 在一次吧，骑上我的摩托车 像早上去菜市场你坐在前方 去找那个鱼贩 每次一杀价他马上笑得不自然 去早那个卖水果的欧巴桑 跟每个顾客都讲他们的孩子脑袋瓜最棒 记得我啊，孙子，还有我们以前在一起的样子 那时候你还小，而我也还没那麽老 by Steven Chen 经作者本人同意张贴 --
