When I return from a trip to Shanghai to take care of some boring but allegedly 'important affair,' or from that vaudeville for people with whom I have nothing in common called 'teaching class,' I see you standing in the doorway or at the station waiting for me and my heart is filled with shame and joy.
最是我到上海去幹了無聊的所謂『事』回來，或者去同不相干的人們做了叫做『上課』的一種把戲回來，你們在門口或車站旁等我的時候，我心中何等慚愧又歡喜！
