*啟程那天，只見父親來送行，原來母親捨不得女兒遠渡
重洋，不願讓她看到自己淚灑碼頭，平添感傷，所以沒
有來。然而，當兩人通電話道別時，母親還是哭了。沒
想到，這一別，真的是永別。
*On the day of departure, I saw my father coming to see her off. It turned out
that my mother was reluctant to let her daughter cross the ocean, and she
didn't want her to see her crying on the dock, which would add to the
sentimentality, so she didn't come. Still, the mother cried when the two said
goodbye on the phone. Unexpectedly, this farewell would really be an eternal
farewell.
