One long letter on Chinese writing paper. For Shihuo My Uncle to Examine We used to share our happiness in the same village. Now on the edge of the earth, at the end of heaven, we toil for fame and profit. We can only lament: What else can I do? What comforts me is that you are living with success and your plans are developing smoothly. I launched my journey to the US by boarding a ship in Hong Kong. Fortunatley the waves were smooth along the way, so I have arrived at the port safely. Please do not worry about me.
