My wife Dejian was born in Guangzhou (Canton) in the summer of 1932 and had lived there until the Japanese invader marched forward to there during the Seno-Japanese War. Dejian’s father then took his family escaped from Guangzhou to Sichuan. After many changes in China, Dejian’s parents taking her younger brothers immigrated to Canada, but Dejian remained. After retired, Dejian immigrated to Canada to reunite with her parents. I immigrated to Canada after Dejian when I was retired. That is very unfortunate Dejian passed too early by leukemia in July 1997. I always strongly thought of Dejian and thought of our former home in the campus of Tsinghua University, Beijing. That is why I had returned to the former home many times, regardless of the thousands miles apart. Dejian is the only one I loved and always in my heart forever.

Dejian wrote her memoir (My Trouble yet Happy Life, in Chinese) and comleted with great suffering on the deathbed of hospital. The memoir was published by Tao'o One World Cultural Press, 1999, Fredericton, Canada .
