On the road of life, it is inevitable to encounter encounters of one kind or another. Two months ago, our Senior Citizens Association organized the elderly to travel to the eastern United States. I was in a happy mood and longed to see Washington, the capital of the United States, with my own eyes. I had never dreamed of visiting the White House in person. This was a very rare opportunity. Our group friend Mr. Mai Yingqiang who was flying with us also had this rare wish, and finally realized his wish. But unfortunately, he got sick a few days after he came back. He couldn't help but get sick, and his condition became worse every day. However, he fought tenaciously against the disease every day and had a strong will. During his stay in the hospital, he had many friends and team members to visit and comfort him. When he saw his friends and team members, his eyes filled with tears meant deep friendship and love. His tenacious fighting perseverance finally defeated the serious threat of the disease, and he later moved to a nursing home to recuperate. His relatives and friends felt that there was hope! We are happy for him and hope he can recover soon and join us again to enjoy the happy garden of the elderly. Unexpected things happen in the sky, and people are also prone to unforeseen circumstances. Unexpectedly, I received the news a few days later that he returned to the hospital. Many of his relatives, friends, and our teammates had visited and expressed condolences to him several times. He had fought to the best of his ability and was tired. He was speechless. An old man over eighty years old paid a very high price with his strong will. His condition worsened repeatedly and threatened him. After all, his combat power was limited and he could not withstand the ruthless impact. He finally could not escape this disaster. What a pity! What a pity! He finally left the world on the morning of November 22, 2011, and went to "heaven". His relatives, friends, and our teammates all felt very sad. Life is like this, it is either life or death. There is no third choice in the path of life. This is the law of nature and irresistible. In this case, we can only say "I wish him a good journey" and set foot on another world. Rest in peace! Every elderly person we live should have an optimistic attitude and ambition, and have the common belief to cherish and care for every minute, and strive for time to enjoy a beautiful old age.
