Visiting Mama 回国看妈妈
This is a Chinese
poem I wrote in 1994 for myself, promising a home visit in five
years.
这是1994年我安慰自己的小诗，希望五年内可以回国一次。
The dream of a home visit came
true sooner than expected. Li-qing and I went back in 1995.
This is my mother picking us up from the wharf，on pedicab.
我和丽卿终于提早在1995年回了国。这是妈妈到码头接我们后乘坐三轮车回家。
This is mama with me and my
brother, inside his office.
这是妈妈与我和弟弟在他办公室的合影。
The morning after our arrival,
I took this picture of mama smiling all over at the table.
This is mama
leaning against a stone lion. It was Spring
Festival (Chinese new year).
这是1995年家乡的春节街头。妈妈靠在一个石狮。
Li-qing again went back to China
in 1999. She is with mama, and our family friends in a nearby
farm for Overseas Chinese.
1999年，丽卿自己回国一趟 ，也看到了妈妈。这是在双弟华侨农场老蔡家。
Li-qing again went back to China
in 2004. She is with mama, and our family friends Dr. and Mrs.
Yang in Zhangzhou.
2004年，丽卿又自己回国一趟 ，还跟妈妈去漳州拜访我们的好朋友秀兰和大杨
庄伟麻纪子2004年回国 时，在他叔叔家拍的他叔叔和奶奶的照片。
2005年庄宏和秀娟携带小恺恩回去中国 。八十五岁的曾祖母抱着庄家的第一个曾孙 ，是多么高兴啊。
In
the summer of 2007, I went back to China , and stayed with
my mom for a few weeks. At 87, my mom is still healthy
and active.
The first picture was taken in the kitchen,
the second my mom learning to use a digital camera, the third
with my brother's family.
二○○七年夏天我又回国一趟 ，在家乡住了几个星期。八十七岁的妈妈身体仍好，还上老人大学。
第一幅照片在家里的厨房里；第二幅是妈妈在使用数码照相机；第三幅在弟弟家。
In 1995, I was able to pay a home visit--the first in seven years.
Then Li-qing, Hong and Wei were able to make two separate trips
each. On each occastion, joy was written all over mama's face.
I expect to be able to go back again next year. That will be the
second such trip in 18 years.
