I was wounded quite by accident, and survived quite by chance, so it was by chance that I didn't have to go to Burma. Later on I came to America by chance. It's like the saying "an inch is as good as a mile." If any of these things had gone slightly differently, the outcome would have been very different.
我很偶然地受了傷、很偶然地留住一條命、很偶然地沒有到緬甸，後來又偶然地到了美國，像中國人講的「差之毫釐，失之千里」，只要差一點點，結果可能就大不相同。
