[English paraphrase] There was a special "fellowship party" held at St. James' yesterday evening. Many former workers of St. James', including me, were invited to come back home there. I felt honored (and very pleased) to join in this meeting; meanwhile, I was deeply moved because . . . .
Shouxian, you yiwei nianji ershi chutou, ming jiao Qiu Junwei (邱俊瑋) de qingnian, ta zhiti canzhang, you muqin Chen Cuihua nushi (陳翠華女士) yilu peitong, laidao huodong huichang jieshou Shen-Yage banfa "Jiechu Xiaoyou Jiang," biaoyang ta reai shengming, yonggan yu bingmo -- yanzhongde Qiuxinxing jirou weisuo zheng (裘馨型肌肉萎縮症) -- bodou, bing shichang jiezhe huihua han xiezuo, tichang huanbao yishi yiji shijie-heping linian.
[English paraphrase] First of all, Qiu Junwei (邱俊瑋), a physically disable young man in his early 20's, accompanied by his mother Ms. Chen Cuihua (陳翠華女士), came and accepted the St. James' Distinguished Alumni Award, which was to commend him for his great courage to fight against the rare disease -- Duchenne muscular dystrophy, or DMD -- and for his unceasing action to promote eco-awareness and world-peace ideas [by drawing, painting, and writing].
Youguan Qiu Junwei gerende shengming tiyan ji qi chuangzuo yu dejiang de gushi, zai baozhang zazhi ji wanglu meiti zhong, you bushao baodao, ke gong chayue. Er zuowan, tade muqin jieshao ta de shihou, ye tebie jiang tade jijian zuopin -- baokuo yiben mingjiao "45 Du Yangjiao" (四十五度仰角) de shu -- jieshao bing zengsong gei Sheng-Yage. Women qiner tingqu jieshao, qie qinyan kanjian ta yi 45 du jiao xietang zai tezhide lunyi shang, neixin shenchu you nanyiyanyude gandong.
[English Paraphrase] Regarding Qiu's life experience and creative works, there have been quite a number of news stories and commentaries in the mass media. (You can get online for more information if you like.) And yet, like all others attending the meeting yesterday evening, I was very impressed by the story of Junwei, the beloved son, retold by his hard-working great mother Ms. Chen herself. Ms. Chen brought several books written by her son -- including Forty-Five Degrees Upward (四十五度仰角) -- and gave them to St. James' as a gift. The title "Forty-Five Degrees Upward" tells me the way Junwei usually lies in a wheelchair especially designed for him. Oh! That was something really touching my heart!
Banjiang jiemu hou, women guanshang lao zhaopian, huiyi qi Sheng-Yage butong shiqi de "tianmei jiu shiguang"; women fenxiang duiyu guoqu de huiyi, ye fenxiang bici fenshou zhihou de zhongzhong shenghuo tiyan. Zuihou, women xianghu zhufu, bing xiangyong Sheng-Yage wei dajia zhunbei de meishi candian. A! Zuowan de juhui, congtou-daowei dou shi ling ren gandong de shike!
[English paraphrase] Later on, we were shown lots of old photos, which reminded us of "good old days" of St. James' in different periods of time. Then we shared with each other what we could remember about the past. We even shared interesting experiences that we got after we stopped working at St. James'. Finally, we blessed each other and started enjoying the delicious food prepared by St. James'. As you can see [from the pictures below], we had a very special party last night -- one of the most touching parties that I've ever attended!
