版权页：插图：The day I left for Xinjiang, my father happened to be sick. That after-noon in September I96I, my father walked out with a cane to see me off,followed by my elderly mother. Since I had luggage, I called a tricycle andset off to the train station, the old couple following behind. The sight ofthem hobbling at my heels was too much for me. So I told them over my shoulders, "Mom and dad, you can rest assured I can take care of myself,so please don't follow the tricycle any farther", but they wouldn't hear ofit. At first the tricycle moved ahead slowly and they were able to keepup, my father limping along on his cane and my mother hobbling on withtears in her eyes. As the tricycle picked up speed, they gradually disap-peared out of sight, fading into the distance, melting into the crowd inthe street.At that time I didn't cry; however, when the train started moving andaccelerated into the Pearl River Plain, sitting by the window, I burst intoand my old parentsand hastening to the distant and strange Xinjiang without knowing when I would be able to return. I remembered too how my parents looked as they tried to follow the tricycle. I did cry then; it was my first time to cry since entering adulthood. It was also my first time to realize with great agony that our generation had to confront the dilemma between career and family and make a painful decision in order to better serve our country'sdevelopment.
