"I remember that every time I looked at my father's tattered undershirt, from the back it resembled a giant spider web draped across his body," Liu once reminisced. In those days, the weight of so much responsibility often left him feeling overwhelmed.
「每次看到父親的汗衫破洞點點，從背後望過去，好像一張偌大的蜘蛛網掛在佝僂的身上，」劉其偉生前追憶，生活的重擔，讓他心情十分鬱鬱寡歡。
