The second half of today's class reunion was filled with more enjoyable experiences. After picking avocados at Xiqing Chen's orchard in the morning, we visited the nearby 慈恩庇護休閒農場 and had lunch there. In the afternoon, we returned to Chen's 秋園, where the classmates continued their warm and lively gathering. Several organizers also prepared practical little gifts for everyone.

Among the participants were seven husbands, including me, who had come along with their wives. It was a pleasure to meet old friends and new acquaintances and to share this memorable occasion together.

What touched me most, however, was the presence of Professor 尤淑純, who had taught at 中師 in our younger days. Although she is older than us, she still showed remarkable vitality in both her words and actions. May God richly bless Professor 尤 and all of us, granting us peace, health, and joy—and, above all, may we always preserve a youthful and innocent heart, whatever our age may be.

今天參加老婆的「中師 66 己班同學會」,行程緊湊,節目多元而有趣。除了進入(當年就讀同年級甲班的)陳錫慶同學的果園,親採酪梨,體驗農收之喜,還前往鄰近的「慈恩庇護休閒農場」參訪,經由專人導覽,增廣見識,收穫良多。

午餐,我們就在「慈恩/慈祐」園區裡的餐廳用餐,順便吹冷氣。

餐後回到陳錫慶同學的「秋園」——亦即今早大家來此報到、集合,聽取簡報、彼此交流,準備隨後入園摘採酪梨……的場所——繼續下午既溫馨又生動的交流活動。主辦的幾位同學,各展長才,服務老同學,並贈送大家實用的小東西(如衣架、夾子等)作為禮物。

連我在內,有七位男士(See the 5th photo below),都是陪同自己的另一半來參加此一盛會的。很高興有此機會,讓舊雨新知結為好友。

而整場活動中,令我最感動的,還是受邀光臨這場同學會的尤淑純教授。她雖然年歲比我們長,但觀其言談舉止,可見其思維、動作都仍然充滿靈敏的活力。願神大大祝福教授,也保守每一位參加盛會的我們,今後依然蒙受奇妙恩典,平安、健康、喜樂;更願我們所謂的「青春赤子之心」長存永在,不致忘懷。

Together with Jean and her former classmate Meiyu, I went to Erlin Town in Changhua County today to attend their annual class reunion, serving as their “safe driver.”

It was a cheerful occasion that left me with an unforgettable impression of many happy moments. We had lively conversations, shared lots of laughter, and even sang together as if we were still young!

Special thanks go to Xiqing Chen (陳錫慶), who provided his 秋園 (literally, “Autumn Garden”) as the venue for this year's reunion. Many thanks also go to the core organizers—Xiurong Liu (劉修榮), Xiuli Huang (黃秀梨), Rongrong Zhuang (莊容容), Qiongfeng Huang (黃瓊鳳), and Meiyu Jiang (江美玉)—as well as all the unsung heroes who worked behind the scenes. Their efforts and careful preparation made this year's reunion of the 磊磊 Class such a success.

By the way, 磊磊 was a name, or nickname, that they chose for their class at the time. Since then, they have continued to use it as an alternative name for “台中師專 66 己班.”

What impressed me most today, however, was that both Jean and I picked luoli (酪梨, or avocados) directly from avocado trees for the first time in our lives.

Besides attending Jean's alumni reunion, I also had the opportunity to see many familiar faces again—for example, Youzai Li, Wanshuang Wang, and James K. C. Chen, who are spouses of three members of the 磊磊 Class, as well as 尤淑純教授, a retired professor who was invited to join us.

I also met some new friends, including Mr. Hanqing Song (宋漢清) and Mr. Yihe Huang (黃義和). Mr. Song's self-introduction made me smile broadly. He said:

“本人名為宋漢清,字元明,號隋唐,別號商周。” 😁😄
