We took classes together, performed together, went abroad to perform together and advanced through the school system along the same narrow path. (I studied at what were in my day the only public schools in Taipei with music programs; there were no other choices.) Even now, we often encounter one another professionally.
我們上課在一起、合奏在一起、出國演奏在一起，又一起在一個很窄的升學管道中打滾，（在我的年代，從小學到高中，我讀的都是台北市「僅此一家、別無選擇」的公立音樂班），甚至現在還常在工作領域中碰面。
