Mingzhong and I finally got a rare opportunity to chat in person.
We met at HSR Taichung Station for lunch and coffee, spending just under two and a half hours together — a brief but deeply meaningful reunion.
We had so many personal stories to share, beyond the mutual memories from the “good old days” when we both taught at Wenwu Elementary School.
Time flies! The hours slipped by quickly — just like those early years when we were colleagues, and the long decades that followed, during which we lived and worked in different cities.
More than forty years ago, Mingzhong and I taught at the same school in Dajia. He later pursued higher education and eventually became a college professor. I also left Wenwu to continue my studies, and three years later, I began teaching at Nantou Commercial High School. Now, after all these years, both of us are enjoying our retirement.
We had tried several times in the past to meet, but the timing never worked out. This time, when a new opportunity came along, we both eagerly seized it — and what a joy it was to reconnect after so many years!
Old friendships, like well-aged wine, become richer with time.
Our conversation reminded me how shared memories — no matter how distant — still bind us in ways that feel immediate and warm. I’m truly grateful for this long-overdue reunion.
