Gradually I find myself striving to take on more of the traits I admire among my friends in Yunnan--a warm view of hospitality, a greater appreciation of natural surroundings, a resilience to ill fortune and calamities beyond one's control and more inclination to enjoy to the fullest the good times that inevitably follow.
漸漸地，我發覺自己正奮力學習我的雲南朋友身上那些令我欽佩的特質﹘﹘溫暖好客的情懷、對自然環境的深愛、在不可抗拒的厄運之下堅毅不屈，以及在苦盡甘來時知足盡歡。
