This week I want to post my memorial speech for my grandpa and what I have done these weeks.

The memorial speech:

親愛的爺爺

    還記得在我小時候，您總是帶著我到處亂逛,任我予取予求，每次都會面帶微笑地答應我的一切要求。在家裡時，您更是讓我調皮搗蛋，甚至還讓我把您的頭髮綁起來，從沒有一句責罵的話語。

    在夏天時，您也會為我們製作許多好吃的零食，從愛玉到涼粉，每一樣都灌注了您滿滿的愛心。您也喜歡將您最愛的酒用筷子沾給我們喝，看到我們皺在一起的臉，您總是笑得無比燦爛。

    到了我上國中的時候，您總是極有耐心地幫我複習數學，雖然我常常犯一些粗心的錯誤，但您每次都只念了我幾句，又從頭在我我講解一遍。不管我考了幾分，您都是利用鼓勵代替責罵，殷殷切切的話語，就是我邁向新的學習的最佳動力。

    每年的過年、我們生日、以及我們考試之後，您都會給我們紅包來鼓勵我們。每個紅包袋上都有您用心的題字，字字句句，都在希望我們能更加努力，更上一層樓，現在的那些紅包，成了我最珍貴的寶物。

    在您生病以後，這些事情都成了絕響，您的身體逐漸地被病魔侵蝕，狀況時好時壞，老人失智症更是造成您將許多的事情遺忘，忘了吃，也忘了如何喝，但您卻清楚的記得幾件事，每次您見到我們，總是不忘我們幾個問題:「冷不冷?」、「吃了沒？」、「錢夠不夠用?」，一次又一次的，仔細叮囑我們，甚至到了四月底，也就是快要進加護病房前，您雖身體虛弱，意識也模模糊糊的，但是在看到我的袖子是捲起來的時候，把我叫到身邊，奮力地將我的袖子拉下來，只因為怕我感冒。

    爺爺，雖然你的身體在五月十七號的七點零一分的時候離開了我們，但您曾經為我們做的一切，你曾對我們說過的每一句話，將會永遠的留在我們心中。對我們來說，你的精神將會活在我們的心中！爺爺，我愛您！

Things I have done:
1. Found out and scanned some old photos.
2. Found out his thesis.
3. Tried to send e-mails but failed because of the wrong address.
4. Read as many books as possible.
5. Asked my mother something about her chlidhood.
6. Visited his teacher.
7. Found out some pictures of CK
8. Found out the old red envelopes he gave me.

I knew much more about his life than before because he seldom told me the tough days he had been through. He only wanted to give all the good things he had and wanted to keep the bad things a secret. I really miss him while I was doing the researches.

These are my grandfather's thesis. They are really really precious, but sometimes it's quite hard to read they because of his handwriting. I'm now trying to look for the elementary school which he taught as a principal.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I also read the book which was about 山東流亡學生, but the only thing I found was his teacher 劉澤民校長, he was also the one who let my grandpa became the math teacher of CK.

 

The other thing I did last week was to send e-mails, but i think the address wasn't correct (or it was because i couldn't read the handwriting), I will try to find out the right address as soon as possible.
