給老同學的信

我和家驊兄即將向各位暫別，話到嘴邊，卻又萬般不捨，彷彿一轉身，便要把半世紀的光陰輕輕放下。

今日能有這樣一場溫暖而珍貴的相聚，特別感謝鍾厚兄嫂的悉心安排與用心付出。正因為有您們的周全與熱情，讓我們這群走過一甲子歲月的老同學，得以在台北重逢，把記憶一一喚醒，把情誼再次點燃。

鈺錚兄倡議於2029年再聚，那不僅是一個約定，更像是在歲月長河中點亮的一盞燈。三年的時光，對年少時的我們或許漫長，如今卻顯得如此珍貴而短暫。也許未來的日子裡，我們各自奔赴不同的人生軌道，經歷不同的風雨與晴朗，但心中始終會有一處柔軟的角落，留給彼此。

今日的重逢，有笑聲，也有微微濕潤的眼眶。那些年我們共同走過的艱辛與歡樂，如今都化作一段段溫暖的回憶，在心底靜靜流淌。人生能有幾個六十年？而我們，竟能彼此陪伴走過，這份緣分，何其深重。

讓我們在告別中不說離散，而是把思念交給時間，把牽掛藏在心中。在未來的日子裡，彼此珍重、各自安好。當2029年的約定再次到來時，願我們都還能帶著熟悉的笑容，再次相見——

那時的我們，也許多了幾分白髮，但情誼依舊，如初如昨。

My dear classmates,

We are prepare to say goodbye, words feel so inadequate. With just a turn, it seems as though we are gently setting down more than sixty years of shared memories—years filled with both hardship and quiet joy.

Today’s reunion in Taipei has been deeply moving, and we are especially grateful to Adams and his wife for their thoughtful and heartfelt arrangements. Because of your care and generosity, we were able to come together once again, to awaken old memories and rekindle a friendship that time has never dimmed.

When we proposed that we meet again in 2029, it felt like a light placed along the long river of time—a promise, a hope. Three years may once have seemed long in our youth, but now they feel fleeting and precious. Though we will each return to our own paths, facing life’s different seasons, there will always remain a tender place in our hearts reserved for one another.

Today, there was laughter—and there were also tears quietly held in our eyes. The years we shared, with all their struggles and happiness, have become warm and enduring memories flowing gently within us. How many lifetimes grant us such a bond? To have walked together for over six decades—this is a blessing beyond words.

So let us not call this a farewell, but a continuation of our journey. Let us carry our thoughts and care for one another across time. Until we meet again in 2029, may we all stay well, cherish life, and hold onto this enduring friendship.

And when that day comes, may we greet each other once more—with familiar smiles, deeper wisdom, and the same unchanging bond.
