My First Time Playing . . . in Public

 #2020-0927

It was my very first time playing the violin in public!

First, I want to thank Ms. Shuhui Wu for sharing the photos below.

Thanks also to Mr. Liyu Zhao for inviting us, the Happy Violinists and Cellists (快樂提琴手), to perform at Dadu Presbyterian Church this afternoon.

And a special thanks to our teacher, Mr. Bi-le Wang, who has been teaching us—a group of "Old Beginners" and therefore slower learners—since June 2018. Remarkably, he has taught us for free because he loves us. Why? Some of us were his classmates at Chiayi Teachers' Junior College, and we share a special bond as "Camel Brothers"!

Finally, I’d like to express my heartfelt gratitude to the Lord. Without His guidance, these Camel Brothers (and our spouses) might not have formed such a close-knit group, learning to play stringed instruments together. Oh yes, thanks and praise be to God!

《長相思》

 #2020-0908

《長相思》

秋風吹,倦鳥歸。
暗夜星寒老樹衰。
思親忍淚垂。

苦不辭,樂難追。
父母劬勞子女知。
愁園蝶夢飛。
