Huang recalls that when he brought Chiang Wei-shui's eldest son Chiang Sung-hui to meet Tu Tsung-ming, a close friend and comrade-in-arms of the father, the small and frail Tu was so moved that he rushed forward to embrace the much taller Chiang Sung-hui, much to the latter's surprise.
黃煌雄回憶，當他帶著蔣渭水的長子蔣松輝探訪蔣氏昔日好友兼戰友的杜聰明時，個子瘦小的杜聰明激動地向前去擁抱身材高大的蔣松輝，令他十分震撼。
