Taiwan Island Village: 台灣島村: Hsinchu (Xinzhu) High School Reminisced    憶竹中   忆竹
Dear Bill:

I am more than grateful to your prompt, precise and presumptuous works for 1960 HCHS(13th Class) reunion in aaapoe web site. On the day
after 9/11/2010, may I share
the following joke/story with you and our classmates? Just and hopefully, it will inspire a few more folks to come
and share their story or saying on the word, "OLD" in Hakka
or Hau-lou or Mandarin like the one which Teacher Yang told Tien-yueh Chuang
in their exchanged e-mails. It's sort of like this, "It is easy to be  born as a academic scholar,
but it is extremely difficult to be born to be a
businessman." Here are some western proverbs having to do with "OLD" word for your reference.

         "Young men may die but old men must die."
         "Young folks think old folks to be fools but old folks know young folks to be fools."
         "You can't put NEW wine in old bottles."
         "NEVER too old to learn."
         "A MAN is as old as he feels, and a woman as old as she looks."
         "There is no fool like an old fool."

See you sometime and somewhere if not at our reunion on 12/10-19/2010.

Respectful regards,

Kwei-Yang Ben Chang
活到 85岁

有个65岁的老头子拿着全部过关的健康检查报告,颇满意的问医生:「以65岁的年纪来
说,已经挺不错了吧?你觉得我可以活到85吗?」


医生问:「我不知道--- 你喝不喝酒、抽不抽烟、嗑不嗑药..」


老先生回答:「除了上教堂、圣诞节偶尔喝点红酒,20多岁后就没喝了,从来没抽过
烟,完全不碰所有不合法的东西。」


医生接着问:「那你有没有做些带点危险性的活动,像是高空弹跳、爬山或是骑摩托
车?」


老先生回答:「当然不,我终身奉行安全为上。」


医生再问:「你有没有跟女人鬼混?整晚混趴?」


老先生大大不以为然:「怎么可能!我20多岁遇上我老婆以来从来没有不忠过。 多年来
我一直勤奋工作不要说混整晚,连参一脚的时间都没有。」


医生望着老先生:「那你干嘛要活到85呢?!」

醫生接著問:「那你有沒有做些帶點危險性的活動,像是高空彈跳、爬山或是騎摩托
車?」


老先生回答:「當然不,我終身奉行安全為上。」


醫生再問:「你有沒有跟女人鬼混?整晚混趴?」


老先生大大不以為然:「怎麼可能!我20多歲遇上我老婆以來從來沒有不忠過。 多年來
我一直勤奮工作不要說混整晚,連參一腳的時間都沒有。」


醫生望著老先生:「那你幹嘛要活到85呢?!」
