My father(shortly F) was from an Island of ChongMing,JiangSu, and my mother(M)
from NingBo，ZheJiang. Interestingly,the age gap between them and the last name
are same as between me and my wife. F accepted good education on ship sailling and
after graduation, he obtained a job in Custom to prevent smugglling from ocean.
After the first child born in Shanghai, the whole family moved to Hong Kong
where I and my sister were borned(actualy included a brother). When Pacific
Ocean War happened, F & M brought us escapaded from HK began a long journey
along with KuangDong and KuangXi countrysides, until the War ending we returned
to Shanghai, at that time I had 4 sisters and 1 brother which not include a
brother lost during the War. Aferwards,2 youngest sisters came to the world
seperately. Just after libration, I was began to accept primary education in
East China Normal University affiliated Middle School，it's a most worth to
remembering period in my life. There were many world famous novels I have had
read. Particularly I appreciate Roman Roland's work - John Christopher which
impressed me deeply. And also I appreciate the translator Fu Lei's outstanding
work,his second son happened to be my classmate in high school.
I entered to Shanghai JiaoTong University after graduation. So many political
movements were taken during the 5 studying yeras. I don't like that period
full of faults although I had been always put in the advanced fellows list.
Shanghai Science and Technolegy University is my first working place where I
was working 17 years, teaching Mechanics all the way. Meanwhile the darkest
period in Chinese history took place. F be pushed to the opposite side of the
cultural revolution, he couldn't support himself in such distorting life and be
forced to die which seriously damaged our family. (to be continued)
