I thought about it several times when I was in my 30s and 40s, but I just couldn't do it. Both my parents were still alive back then, and I guess I didn't want to offend them. Once they passed away, though, the writing flowed easily, and in fact, I felt compelled to write.
三、四十歲的時候有幾次想寫，但就是寫不出來，我想可能那時父母俱在，我心理上不想得罪他們，但是他們一過世，我就能滔滔不絕的寫，而且覺得非寫不可。
