David, we just completed another trip covering seven Balcan countries and took a month time. Since your farewell, we have been on the road. Nina is flying around Europe for her job as she is just promoted to be VP in fashion strategy for the biggest fashion player in Europe. Mom and Dad are trodding the globe almost nonstop in the last three years: Cuba, Sri Lanka, Uzbekistan, Tajikistan, Oman, Abu Dhabi, Morocco, Tunisia, Portugal, Spain, Turkey, Egypt, a douze coastal cities along the Adriatic Sea etc. Foreign countries and exotic places help to divert our attention away from the tormenting reality that we lost you and days pass more quickly when we can fill our minds with unfamiliar places and things. Aren’t you glad that we managed to stay away from depression!On your Three Years Memorial, one of Mom’s best girl friends was checking on how Mom has been recovering mentally and Mom wrote her a long reply, an essay on how traveling has helped. Let me see if I can copy and send it to you here to brush up your Chinese linguistic skills.
Poor Dad






Dear David, my lovely son, four years ago of today was the saddest day of my life! I will never forget the day until I join you someday! you are still with me all the time, we play tennis and golf together, may be pickleball as well as i fall in love with this sport. I believe you too. i can use some tennis skills to play. I learned these skills from you! When friends ask me about your well being, I always say that you are busy with your work and to spend a lot of time with your girlfriend Hannah in San Francisco! Next week mum and I will travel to balcan countries and I believe that you will follow us all the way! I truly miss you every day!!! your heartbroken dad!!!! love you so much forever!!!

Here you go, Mom’s reply to her friend: “我的状况应该说还在疗愈中,疗的占比逐渐被愈的占比超过。年初父亲的仙逝让疗愈过程走了个detour,但对生死宇宙人生有了更深层更宽广的理解和认识。 儿子刚走时我满脑子在想他解脱了没有痛苦了,一发现就已经骨转的癌细胞已经开始在极速扩散,几轮最对症最先进的药物都没能阻止癌细胞的疯长,进了肝进了脾,开始融化他的胯骨脊椎股头骨,以致他的血钙高到开始神智不清,那种痛彻的骨痛我们不可想象,面对着大夫们,接着化疗还是以止痛舒适为主?。。。加强了吗啡量,血钙一降下来,他第一想到了他的朋友们,跟妈妈说“please contact all my friends”, 我问,“why”,他说“It's time to say farewell”. 姐姐搜他的社交账号告知他的朋友们,在美国的当天都飞了过来,印度的第二天到的,日本的第三天到的,旧金山的GIC老板还带了同事来跟他讨论投资项目,他还能清晰的分析投资风险。朋友们围在病床周围一天两天,放着他们曾经一起喜欢的音乐,互相调侃着,在party的气氛中他渐渐陨灭,第三天的晚上,暗暗的灯光里,痛苦终于放过了他,让他去了天堂,做了那里的投资总监。。。 最初几天数月,我还会想除了身体的解脱,儿子其实还从将要到来的婚姻和事业的烦恼操劳失意中解脱了。他想要三个孩子女朋友却还不想怀孕,他想要大投行PE做几年后自己创立个PE,他计划用投资控股的方式改变所投企业行为,使其对地球要友好,他要开始每早起来跑步备赛马拉松。。。他的追求密实高远,他的心气儿冲破云霄,他注定将会在骨感的现实中失望失意,他的烦恼将会大于常人数倍。我常对自己说:上帝洞察了,让他在享受了最精彩充实发光温暖的二十五年人生时画了个句号。 第一年的大部分时间里,环绕在我脑子里心口上的问题是:人除了肉体到底有没有灵魂?宇宙中的量子纠缠真有其事吧?物质不灭定律不是永恒的吗?人生有定数吗?生命这么脆弱,我到底该怎么生活?我找丧亲书籍寻慰籍,我找疗愈书籍寻出路,我倾诉给陪着我的丧亲心理辅导女士,跟她对话。 逐渐的,第一个忌日第二个忌日都过去了,两年间我的注意力从儿子转到人的精神;转到宇宙和星辰:寂静辽阔,闪闪发光,每颗星上肯定住着逝去的所有灵魂;转到生命:一切生命,小草大树,兔子虎豹;转到生死相依,转到生活,转到当下。我开始读佛经,几次出入寺院。 灵魂好像在觉醒,心好像在增大,脑子好像在放空,放下成了实实在在可以做的事情,佛经的“应无所住而生其心”,“凡所有相,皆是虚妄”,“一切有为法,如梦幻泡影,如露亦如电,应作如是观”。这些玄而又玄的词语概念,可以走近它们了,可以懂得了,甚至可达至心领神会。 几次冒出想法问自己,儿子是不是个殉道者目的想要唤醒我,一个执着卷妈妈:努力向上,日日成长,埋头入世,视效率时间为命,追寻人生要有价值,绝不能毫无意义! 卷妈妈新的追求:平淡,平静,平凡,与天地为伍,与宇宙共存,成为一粒尘埃,一滴雨水,当太阳升起来的时候享受光和热,月亮挂天时静如止水。 今年的第三个忌日一过,我开始觉得儿子离开是不是要成全他的父母,尤其是成全把“真怕当奶奶啊”的恐惧挂在嘴边上的妈妈,很奇怪的念头: • 同龄的好朋友好久未联系了,被孙子拴住了,朋友圈晒孙成了她的娱乐,骄傲的奶奶。 • 上海朋友退休回美国老家,那里的发小们没有时间给她了,因为孙子们更重要。 • 新加坡的音乐艺术旅游好搭子,今年不再同行,因为美国的孙子要来新加坡上学了 • 贴心的按摩师,曾经发誓过不会为女儿带娃,因为按摩是她的谋生技能。去年八月去无锡给女儿坐月子,仍然未回,羁绊无法脱身啊。 而我无牵无挂,说走就走,周游世界,时间终于属于自己啦,过一把自由逍遥的日子。这何尝不是一种可遇不可求的人生奢侈。 三年了,儿子对父母的状况是窃喜吧,没抑郁还成长了?但这个春节的坎坎坷坷,三个人的机票九次更改取消,酒店十几晚的频换地方,妈妈办登机被拦,护照的损残被拒,等等等等的反常磕碰,姐姐说,肯定是弟弟生嫉妒心了,要mess things up!!! ” you like this essay, David?
Hannah


David, it still feels too raw. I hope you know we’re all doing our best to live in your honor, and to find the joy in things the way you inspired us all to. I’ve never seen someone enjoy a meal the way you have, or to ride a post-match high like you. Your energy and excitement for life, your laughter at even the crudest of jokes. You continue to inspire day in and day out, and I’ll do my best to make you proud. Missing you always.
Dad
Hi my dear son, today is the Christmas day of 2025. I still remember the last Christmas we spent together in 2022. We were making dumplings and I still kept the vedio I took. I am sad and happy to watch it. Hannah helped to decorate the Christmas tree and allother decorations and it was the most beautiful decorations we had ever had! But now I understand how much pain you were carrying with you despite of the cheer up spirit we want to present. Dear David, you have no idea how much I love you missed you and I have so many dreams that we are playing tennis and golf together Even on the day time!!! I want to know whether you know it up there? We spent so much quality time together before. I will alway remember it! By the way, I got a birdie yesterday and I put it in the bowl with all other birdie balls. Also I started playing pickleball now and it is fun and I was dreaming all the time that we are partners to play together! love you so much and miss you every day! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year my dear friend and lovely son. your poor and crying dad.
