One day at work, Oscar came to me, told me that my work has a lot of mistakes. He asked I spend all day, like anything, so the quality is not good. I looked at him a serious look, his face red and felt very good laugh and angry. saying a word, just smiled, but was very impressed his responsibility to do things.

At that time my colleagues and I live in a dormitory week Lena, and she have nothing to do after work, I feel boring. One day, I asked what her hobbies in high school. She told me love English. I said that I can get you an English teacher. I heard Oscar's English is very good, you can ask him to teach. weeks, Lena said, A man she did not dare go to him. I promised to accompany her a few times before, she then go alone. After work, we went to Oscar's quarters to learn English, I was not trying to learn. Oscar advised me to learn, and I said I do not like English, I like reading novels. accompany several weeks, Lena, I would not go again.

we quickly clear the relationship, his Oscar and their family's experience told me I will hit me and our family told him. He said the week of Lena has some of the things our family had told him. Oscar said that he felt that we connected to the same fate.
Soon, Oscar took me to his house to see him dad.

that the relationship between me and Oscar, my mother went to Oscar's place of work, cursed him for a pass . my mother sad and I said, she finally left a laborers (my father is the landlord's son), I was better with a laborers. I think Oscar is a good person, the Government must be wrong case the. What I do not want to be cadres of laborers does not affect me as a worker.
Soon Oscar was seconded to work in Beijing, many people say that Oscar would I abandon to make me mentally prepared. I was do not know what will happen. soon Oscar wrote to me and tell me the situation in Beijing. I do not feel beautiful young age, think they look very ordinary. But since the understanding of post-Oscar, he treated me as the mind of the . But the Oscar to buy all the clothes I can wear, and is my favorite.

Oscar told me a lot of friends in prison because they are the descendants of the KMT and the wives and children, family broke the tragic story. He believes that is one of my family. Before long, I went to Changsha to find my biological father. after that meeting, his father was very excited , and fear. I look very much like my father, may be the reason childhood are not together, I did not have much affection for him. But since then, we'd often visit my father.

This time, we as well as the honeymoon, in Beijing, the park enjoy the city, drawing near their voice heard, but also to many museums, read a lot of works of art, according to a lot of photo . But, in my trip back to Hunan, a serious illness, had to get off a train station in Henan, go to the emergency hospital. Hospital and Oscar contact him immediately to lead people.

Oscar soon admitted to the Academy of Social Sciences econometric and published many articles. He told me he heavy workload, but he gave me a week or two to write a letter for me recorded many tapes, but unfortunately moved several times, the tapes are missing out. Later, friends told me that Oscar was introduced to a girl in Beijing, which would allow Oscar to stay in Beijing, and every time he declined.

processed after my home, I live in the house his father Oscar. He heard many people say that great Oscar may have a Nobel Prize. I was said to him, the Nobel Prize is not important, Oscar's health is the first important. I say Oscar has five years old, no longer hard. His father listened to later, that makes sense. One day, Oscar called Dad. my father said to the Oscar, not too hard, and good health is the first important. Later, Kay said, the tone of my father and say these words before not the same. heard my father say such a thing, the Oscar heart full of happy. Since then, I knew Oscar for his father's every word very seriously listening, and he is a filial son. < br> 2000 年 11 months, to accompany Oscar and I went Zehua Beijing University, Fudan University, lectures, also went to Hong Kong. At that time, I found that Oscar's body is not very good, and a speech to cough. what kind of drugs can not stop coughing. and they do X-rays and found the upper corner of the right lung has a shadow, that is left before the calcification of tuberculosis, and neglected.
2001 in the first half, Oscar went to Taiwan, Shenzhen and Hunan , Nanjing, Shanghai, and other lectures. coupled with the dishes of my father's funeral, he returned home, the body is not good. But then the economic seminar at Monash University to open the network, all the burden upon a person in his , keeping all things. when his body is clearly not. July, the meeting finally completed, but he was almost speechless. was that there is no exercise, Zhang Yongsheng play tennis with him every day, come back they sleep. I hit the phone with eternal life, that will not hit tennis.
8 the end of Oscar time to see a doctor. finished X-ray, the doctor immediately called to do CT. finish the examination, The doctor arranged for him to hospital, when we realize that things are bad .9 25 he went to the hospital for open heart surgery and found that all tumor on the right lung is already advanced lung cancer, the doctors stitched his right lung. neck also has a build-up, so that he could not breathe and had to open a hole in the pipe, put a vent pipe. such Kay woke up from the operating room and found himself to be breathing through the pipes of the pipeline, he scared again do not let me go. From that day on, I waited at the hospital day and night. three children would take care of themselves at home. for two weeks. We have experienced the most painful days, the doctor told us it was advanced lung cancer, we can not surgery, chemotherapy is only temporary. This is the Oscar the first time that anyone in life can not save him, science could not save him.
Oscar determine the main letter. he repent to God, also told me confession, I hope God forgive him. He began reading the Bible every day in February 2002 year also baptized both of us. In the course of illness Oscar three years, God has been sending Christians pray for the Oscar, speaking Bible, Oscar made in 2002, the first witness, a lot of people probably read the In 2003 he made a second witness.
2002 年 6 months, the Oscar went to the United States to meet, and then went to China. I Ze China also went to see Oscar's father, and later went to Hangzhou and Shanghai. Oscar medical treatment in Shanghai, when the results are obvious. we are all very happy. The key think I will have to bring the stream and Hunan, to see Oscar's father, and this is our family last saw Oscar's father.
2002 年 9 months, Oscar's father was seriously ill, Oscar returned to Hunan to see his father one, with want to make him a Christian the future to meet again in heaven. but the father did not believe the 2002 year in October, Oscar once again returned to Hunan, for father's funeral. father left the world, do not know Oscar's disease, or else, his old will be sad. Oscar sick three years, two sisters Yang Hui, Xiaocheng and many good friends have spent a lot of hard work, all aspects of care, adding the latest around to look for drugs and treatment approaches. looking forward to Oscar In 2003 the disease will be better in October, Oscar went to the lake a large lecture, and then go to Taipei. this time, some of Oscar's symptoms worse, we see a doctor in Taipei found that cancer had moved to the back of the spine. We'll catch home arrangements radiotherapy, but radiotherapy reduces the resistance shift the Oscar. In January, he began to reclaim a low grade fever. The doctor thought he might only live one to two months. But the Oscar and boil for half a year, six months Oscar is the most painful half of his life.
Oscar three years in the believer, his life really changed. Oscar believers after the piety of faith it is growing, where the humble self-examination in advance as possible points the position of others for other people think. encountered major difficulties in making decisions or judgments they can not, when earnestly pray always, ask for forgiveness and the gift of wisdom and strength. his attitude towards the students more and more like his father his son, he often personally student paper at home, all the operator again, tell the students what areas need improvement. He often talks with students to go to the beach and tell them what to read, in what direction do papers. He for the students, sometimes with the department steward of the people arguing for the rights of students. For example, last year he brought a huge spring, spent a year, even personally went to his quarters, took him about his seaside paper model. during the year Pang Chun models do very beautiful, made rapid progress, very happy for him Oscar.
Early this year, Oscar was very sick, I asked Oscar, Pang Chun papers doing? small Kay said that his thesis is basically done. This year in April we returned from the United States, small Kama motivated the hospital, waiting for him to discharge, Pang Chun to take him to see the final draft to the Oscar, Oscar with his seriously ill After all the changes the manuscript, wrote the deputy supervisor in the history above the name of Crane, Crane guide Pang Chun hope the successful completion of the thesis. In the last two days before leaving Oscar, then Oscar can no longer see anything, when Pang Chun said: Teacher, I come, Oscar his hand out, shook hands with the Pang Chun. Pang Chun said, crying with Kay, the teacher can not leave, you have to help me finish the thesis. Oscar but shook his head , said he had to go. the third day morning he went away.
Oscar went to heaven!
Oscar ill when many students and friends are accompanied by Oscar, as well as nephew Yuan Yuan, They helped me day and night according to Gu Xiaokai. Also, the church's friends Oscar prayer singing hymns, so that Oscar has a calm mind to meet his Heavenly Father. Eddy school prayer will do for our family three weeks of food, sent home, and my God Monther-Alieen also a great help to us. We are very grateful family. the last few days, we follow the wishes of Oscar, the Oscar to stay at home rather than hospital until he the last moment of life.
Oscar more than a month away from us. For our family for as long this time of years. every corner of the house have left the shadow of Oscar, the ever-present appeared before me. The most sad is that in the evening, as I like a lost soul, not stability, everywhere are looking for Oscar, hope to see him again. Oscar is not, we do not know how to do. Such pain can only sense can not explain in words. Oscar is part of my life, but God took him to heaven, and I still stay in this world. It seems that my life is cut in half and told my whole life in pain, can not live. I cry every day before God, with tears asking God to give me peace, so that I do not miss Oscar. usually I am a very optimistic person and never want to die thing, but small Kay was gone, dead to me not a fear thing, but the things I look forward to.
, thank God, Oscar left me three lovely children. Every time I see Our daughter brook to see the Oscar's image, to see her moving speech following the Cheng Xiaokai ability, writing talent, confidence and wisdom of life, there is great compassion. When I saw the eldest son Zesi eyes, think of Oscar dedication, honesty, great sense of responsibility to the family. When I kissed my lovely son Zehua, his lively, intelligent, clever reminds me of Oscar. Then I know that Oscar did not leave me. his three children lives in our body. To Oscar and my children, I should be strong to live, raise their adult, when I went to heaven meet with him, as he went away, as I said to him.
Oscar Although left us, but his economic, constitutional and literary thought from the students he loved inheritance flourish, he once said to me , his students like a beautiful peach flowers will bloom all over the world!
