"Ships that pass in the night and speak each other in passing;
Only a signal shown and a distant voice in the darkness;
So on the ocean of life we pass and speak one another,
Only a look and a voice; then darkness again and a silence."

Dear Liuyxian （should be Liu Yuxian）,
What a beautiful message to leave us.
Have we met? Have we passed each other in the corridor and smiled in greeting? Or exchanged a word or two perhaps? If we have not, then we will not now since I am away from campus this week, and I am the poorer therefore for not knowing you.
In response to your own beautiful poetry here is a poem by Longfellow. It sums up the all too brief acquaintance we often share with our honoured visitors who leave us much too soon.
I wish you a wonderful life in Shanghai or wherever life may take you. And hope one day we might meet if only as ships that pass in the night
Very Best Wishes, Carol
