[albert yian]

Dear Prof. Chiang and Phys 76 classmates,

 

       After discussing with some classmates, we decided to meet

  at Golden Island 金島酒家 at Milpitas Square at 6 p.m. on Nov. 13.

 

       I will pick up you and your wife to go to Golden Island.

 

       It's between Fremont and  Cupertino so it's about the center for

  all classmates.

 

       I will reserve a big table which can sit 10 to 15 people.

 

       Please see direction below.

 

       Thank you very much.

 

        Look forward to seeing you all on Nov. 13.

       p.s. Phys 76 classmates in other areas are all welcome.

Albert, I will not be able to join the dinner on Nov 13. I had extended my stay in Taipei since my mother-in-law passed away the past Tuesday. It was a bad month for me since I just lost my mother in Oct.

 

Have a great gathering. Sorry that I will miss the chance to meet with Prof. Chiang this time.

Hi CK,

 

It is sad to see the older generation fade away.  My father also passed away the past August at the age of 94.  We knew that it was coming, but it still hurt.  

 

Please take care of yourselves, for now we are the old generation. 

 

Cou-way

[C.K. Cheng]

Wan, Wei-Heng, Lee-Yeh, Joseph, Steve, and Albert, thank you for the comforting words.

 

It was certainly a great loss for me, Teresa, and our children. I hope it was also a great teaching for us about life. My mother was 92. My mother-in-law was 90. They had earned the respect from their children and grandchildren to them through their graceful aging process, something I am striving to achieve too.

 

The following is a short essay my second son wrote after learning the death of my mother. The best way to honor our parents, I guess, is to make sure the good quality they possess will be passed on from generation to generation.

 

CK

 

 In this grand family tree, the fruit can hardly fathom the root. Blithely hanging over the ground, not often does it consider its foundations - the branch, the root, and the precarious states the tree once weathered prior to its being.

 

There are a few things I know firsthand about Grandma. She was always delighted to see and hear from any of her 9 children and many more grandchildren, and to know that they were well. But Family encompassed more than blood; anyone whom her progeny selected as a husband, wife, or partner was treated the same love and respect. In the latest stages of her life, she formed a bond with her paid caretaker, and treated her in a way not unlike a granddaughter.

 

I remember as a child, sitting on her lap, and looking up and seeing the sublime smile of a consummate matriarch - an expression with nearly imperceptible qualities that could assure the most incorrigible of sinners that they are loved, no matter who they were or what they would become. I see that same smile etched in memories spanning years: as a fumbling teenager, ashamed of losing faculty in my mother tongue - and as an adult, kneeling beside her wheelchair, even as her body and mind were quickly fading.

 

But most things I know about my grandmother I only know through stories. She was born in 1918 in Beijing, China. She and her husband, my grandfather, a Kuomintang military officer, had 6 children and lived in the southern Yunnan province. They were separated when my grandfather was eventually stationed in Taiwan. When the Communists emerged victorious, my grandmother fled to Burma with a brother and two sons, while the others were left in the good hands of her own mother and siblings. In 3 years time, they relocated to Taiwan, reunited with my grandfather, and bore 3 more children, including my father. It wasn't until 1989 until the two sides reunited - nearly 40 years of separation.

 

To me and to others of my generation, these events are legends, folklore from time immemorial, the unrest that served as the backdrop of our peaceful times. It is astounding to consider the power of will and tireless love from which prosperous generations sprang forth and moved all over the world. I look at my father and see that her formidable essence remains on this Earth like a sarira; may it come to pass someday that I can recognize her virtues in myself.

 

If the humble fruit were to examine its beginnings, it would see a branch. If it looked further, it would see a root. Upon witnessing the totality of this tree, it would come to understand that the utter improbability of its peaceful existence is predicated by staggering greatness.

Dear Steve,

 

        Thank you and your wife for helping Phys  76 to comfort C.K and his wife

  who just lost their 2 mothers in a month.

 

        When C.K. and his wife come back later, we will have another gathering.

 

        We all do appreciate Prof. Chiang's great teaching and caring for Phys 76 while

  we were Tsing Hua Freshmen and Sophomores.

 

        Prof. Chiang and his wife are living in San Francisco Bay area for retirement years

  for his sister is close by and his daughter is also living not too far.

 

        We can keep in touch and help Prof. Chiang and his wife when they are in need.

 

        When you and your wife come here, we will have another gathering for you and your wife.

 

        Please take care.

 

        Albert Yian

Dear Albert and all,

 

CK’s mother-in-law’s funeral has finished this morning. CK and his wife are fine, although sad.  They will stay in Taiwan for some more days and then return to California .  I will meet CK next time when he is back.

[albert yian]

Dear C.K.,

 

        Thank you for your sharing of your mom and mother-in-law who had very

    long HAPPY lives although experienced some difficult years when China

   Communist were emerging and took the Mainland China eventually.

 

       Thanks a lot to your 2nd son who wrote a great short essay which gave us the

   opportunity to understand how great your mom was. Not only was she a brave and

   determined lady to reunite with your dad in Taiwan which is thousands of miles away

   through lots of challenges and dangers but also was such a loving and delightful lady

   to all her children and grand children.

 

      Although your mom lived to 92 and your mother-in-law to 90, surely you all still feel

  hurtful and sad. But their great personalities and characters have been passed down

  to your generations and next generations and even more generations to come.

 

      Cou-Way's father passed away at 94 just 3 months ago. My mom passed away at 86 in 2008.

  I felt sad also when my mom just passed away. But now I can turn on my mind suddenly to visualize

  those good and bad time when I was with my dad and my mom. My parents are living within me now

  even they went to heaven and started eternal lives few years ago. I still can feel the love from my parents

  and their encouraging words when I face difficult challenge in my life.

 

      Yes, we have inherited good characters from our parents and will pass down to next generations and

 more next generations.

 

      Please take good care of yourself and your family.

 

      Albert Yian

     p.s. Please accept the condolence from all Phys 76 classmates.

Dear CK and Albert,

It is amazing that we have parents and 

children, generation from generation.

" ... that they are loved, no matter who

they were or what they would become.

I see that same smile etched in 

memories spanning years ..."

" ... the good quality they posses will

be passed on from generation to

generation."

" ... can still feel the love from my 

parents and their encouraging words

when I face difficult challenge in my

life."

Thanks for these most beautiful words.

We all share the same experience. I

think of my father even more nowadays.

Warm regards, 

Steve
