Dear classmates: (致台大外系1963年畢業同學們)
Re: 本人創立部落格造訪人数超過十萬人次紀念
It’s two months since I last wrote
you. Hopefully, this email message will find each one of you well, cheerful and remaining young.
Today I am very happy to tell you that
the number of total visits to our Blog- (ntu1963.blogspot.com)
has reached more than ten thousand (100,285).
This Blog was established about 5 years ago when I first learned that there has been
an Alumni group in USA. Excited, and grateful, I started to found this Blog online.
At the very beginning, I was trying very
hard to dedicate myself to building this Blog as a bridge for communication, a
memoir, and a forum for friendship. I received from classmates some cheers,
encouragement, as well as criticism. Some
people blocked mail from me. Rebuffed as I was by some friends, I was not discouraged.
Nevertheless, I kept on adding some good forwarded articles to please
classmates. Furthermore, I continue to
provide to classmates, my own works, including pieces of my Chinese
calligraphy, and essays of my own writing.
In retrospect of the 4-year college life
in Tai-Ta (1959-1963), I did not study very hard. My scholastic records were on
an average but satisfactory. However, during my college life, there was one
event I still cherish, remember distinctly and I am highly proud of. That was
about a Discussion Club -an extra-curricular
activity I founded in senior. The club members included Nancy Chiang-蔣徐乃錦(deceased), Timothy
Wang(-deceased王禎和), Kay Cheng (鄭兆雲), David Chen(陳大安), 許世玲、Eugene Lai (賴政孝), Athena Ting
(丁鶯), me…..etc. Most memorable of all, I invited some members and we
put on stage a one-act play, named “the Dear
Departed”, with some of those mentioned above, playing as actors. and
actress. By visiting the following Blog @ ntu1963.blogspot.com
please see some photos related to the play at the
end of this article
Now with 57 (1963-2020) years after
graduation gone, I think I helped classmates establish a forum of communication-
a Blog. Be it insignificant, and not so
much thought of, I have been devoting myself to the job of connection between
classmates. And now the visiting number is over one hundred thousand! Of course, without classmates’ continued
support, I would not have been able to achieve this milestone. Although there
might be some other similar Blogs among alumni of Tai-ta Waiwen Xi (台大外文系校友) founded by our
seniors or juniors, I am sure this one of ours are enjoying equal or more popularity,
and I also believe this popularity will last on and on…….
With time going on, we are advancing in
years. Some of us enjoy having fun of playing with family folks, grand children；others are fond of travelling,
and still others like me staying at home, practicing calligraphy, and writing
some articles from time to time. Indeed, our classmates have different styles
of leading their life at such ripened age. Whatever we classmates are doing,
health is most important of all. With it, our life is colorful and enjoyable! Let
us enjoy some phrases comparable to “time and tide wait for no men.”(歲月不待人)
Gone with wind! (春去!)
Autumn comes! (秋来!)
Near is winter! (冬至)
That’s the way life is!
Wishing
you all enjoying good health and leading a happy life, whether living by
yourself or with your family!

第二左起：王禎和、賴正雄、賴政孝、鄭兆雲、丁鶯
中坐者为導演郝继隆神父(Fr. O'Hara)，其旁為許世玲(世玲身材不高， 但長得秀丽貌美)，演畢后，校长親上舞台，和每位同学握手、称贊。
並指著美女世玲， 問我们：「你们去那一家中学，借来这麽可爱的女 同学?」 惹得台上師生大笑!!
前排左起：
黄瓊玖(戲劇学)教授、英千里系主任、錢思亮校长、O'Hara神父、
丁鶯同学

左起本人、陳大安、朱虂西、陳真爱、朱蕙常、李效群、季光容......
公認演技突出的Kay Cheng (鄭兆雲)-左起第一人。 當然O'Hara 教授導演技术，不瑰是好莱坞出身!
覌众爆滿，看到表演精采时，校长頻頻掌声鼓勵。右起英千里 主任 (演出請帖是本人親自送至校长室，想不到他準時蒞臨)
Clara Jones 教授(第二排右起第一人)的另一Class, 請同学
自己尋找那位是你?
註：本班部分同学曾向我complain，不知道畢業那一年有这样的系上活動。其實是全系人数太多，畢業時總人数超過150人，互動很少，联絡也不易。
