Having entered middle age and seen a lot of the world, I have discovered that doing as I did in the Wild Fire days--using the coordinates of my experience and knowledge to explain the phenomena in front of me--is not enough. I've turned my gaze backward and started reading history.
進入中年以後，世界上的路也走多了，發現若再比照「野火」時代，用個人的經驗學識為橫的座標來解釋眼前的現象，這個工具不夠用，所以我回頭讀歷史。
