My mind harbors affairs of my family, the nation, and the world

如果你想成为世界上最伟大的医生，你应该到世界上最好的国家来看一看，边工作，边旅行。今晚我与秀蓬从无锡要回广州了。我们住在蠡湖边，天天春光明媚。从我家到机场20公里，高架桥上装点了19万盆各式玫瑰，粉红，大红，黄色，它们在晚霞中迎风招展，我听王司机告诉我这可是价值1.9亿人民币的玫瑰呀。我们这两周在无锡，食物实在是太丰富了，我们吃了基围虾、鹅肉、鸭肉、烤海鸭蛋、翅膀和猪耳朵，还有各式各样精美无比的苏式点心，无锡的西红柿真的好吃，这是我们小时候的味道，我们在稻香市场买的，才4元一斤，还是翻沙的。春天各种水果应有尽有。我找到了人生的幸福感。我们住在有历史有文化的山水古城，出门就是范蠡和西施的蠡园，明清南长街，明朝东林书院，惠山古镇，浓浓的民国风。仿佛我在电影里。去了全世界48个国家，几百个城市，独爱这种有味道的乔木之城，鱼米之乡。我们还吃了四次荠菜馄饨，各式各样的蛋筒冰激淋，有天傍晚还去了乾隆皇帝最爱的寄畅园，几百年的古代园林，一步一景，有山有水，古木参天，小楼亭榭，我想这就是清帝的浪漫。春日午后我与秀蓬去了周新里吃锡帮菜，松鼠桂鱼和山楂鹅肝，真的是一极美味。再见了102年前无锡实业家周舜卿对家乡的馈赠。百年前从意大利进口的纺织机放在广场上，民国各式小洋楼错落有致，夕阳夕下小桥流水，蔷薇花爬满溪头和墙上，深夜去恒隆广场吃西餐，活色生香，200多年前的古戏台与现代建筑完美融和，观夏的灯笼在古楼中分外迷人。这就是我的苏式生活。风声雨声读书声，声声入耳，家事国事天下事，事事关心。

If you want to be one of the greatest doctors in the world, then you should visit one of the best countries to work and travel. Tonight, Xiupeng and I are about to head back to Guangzhou from Wuxi. We live alongside Lihu Lake, with sunny weather every day. It’s about 20 kilometers from my home to the airport. There are 190,000 roses of all kinds decorating the overpass. Pink, red, yellow... different colors of them were fluttering in the wind under the sunset glow. My chauffeur Mr. Wang told me that these roses are worth 190 million yuan. We spent two weeks in Wuxi with abundant food for us to savor. We had shrimp, goose, duck, roasted duck eggs, chicken wings, and pig’s ears. We also enjoyed all sorts of delicate refreshments of Suzhou’s style. Wuxi’s tomatoes are so delicious, with a taste comparable to what we had back in childhood. We bought the tomatoes from the Daoxiang Market and it only cost 4 CNY with a very high-quality texture. All kinds of fruits are available in spring. I found happiness in life. We live in an ancient city surrounded by mountains and waters with a long history and rich culture. Our residence is close to Liyuan Garden which used to be the dwelling of Fan Li and Xi Shi, Nanchang Ancient Street, Donglin Academy, and Huishan Ancient Town Scenic Area. It is permeated in the style of the 1920s everywhere as if I was wandering in a movie scene. I have been to 48 countries and hundreds of cities, but my love will always go to a city of trees and plenty like Wuxi. We’ve also had four meals of shepherd's purse dumplings and various ice cream cones. And late in the afternoon one day, we went to Jichangyuan Garden, which was Emperor Qianlong’s favorite with a history of hundreds of years. Views in the garden were different at every step. Hills, lakes, towering ancient trees, small towers, and pavilions leaped into our eyes. It is the mirror of the romance of the Qing Emperor. On a sunny afternoon, Xiupeng and I went to Zhouxinli to enjoy Wuxi’s Cuisine. The squirrel-shaped mandarin fish and the foie gras with hawthorn were really top gourmet. We also visited the legacy given by Wuxi’s entrepreneur ZHOU Shunqing 102 years ago. The textile machine imported from Italy a century ago is placed on the square. All kinds of Western-style buildings set in the 1920s are well-proportioned. Under the sunset was the bridge and streams of water, and roses were crawling alongside the brook and all over the wall. Late at night, we went to the Hang Lung Plaza for Western cuisine, and the views were so fascinating. The traditional theatrical stage built 200 years ago perfectly blends with modern buildings. And the summer lanterns looked so gorgeous foiled by the ancient buildings. This is the Suzhou style of life I live in. My ear embraces the sounds of wind, rain, and literature,and my mind harbors affairs of my family, the nation, and the world.
