Location: Taichung. After having hot pot at Yong Feng Zhan Hotel with my mom tonight, I dropped by senior An Cheng's townhouse in South Taichung. It's in a lane off Wenxin Road, spacious and very quiet. Senior An Cheng is my senior from both Taichung First High School and National Cheng Kung University's Industrial Management (Class of '85), 17 years my senior. Over a decade ago when we both worked in Hsinchu Science Park, we used to have lunch together every day with Sheng Shun, who has since passed away—I really miss those youthful days. It had been seven years since I last saw him, so I had to make time to catch up during this trip back to Taichung. From around 8 PM, we opened a bottle of champagne and a red wine with him and his wife, chatting until nearly midnight before reluctantly saying goodbye. Time always slips through our fingers so quickly. Every moment we get to gather and talk is precious. Thanks for the hospitality, senior, and I wish everyone health and safety!
