Dear friends, dear Pengshan, Hongzhi, Xiangdi and Zhengtian, So sad to learn the news of your beloved mother's death. Though in no way unexpected - she lived a full life - there is something so final about death. And many thoughts and feelings. We her Danish family think so warmly of her, she was a special person. We are happy to know she is now with Luzhi. I remember vividly visiting Youshu and paying our respects to the shrine in her apartment. And now they together rest in Babaoshan, how appropriate. I think of two stories. Your parents visited my parents in their country house by the North Sea. My mother was nervous - what to serve for sush distinguished guests?

He came to Denmark for studies before WW2 and then had to stay etc. We were talking about Chinese ambassadors and then your parents. And so he said: Oh, the intellectuals. That they were - your mother's poetry. And I remember your father as well, his eagerness and bright eyes. So, I hope this reaches you. This mail I guess stops, but I would ask for a working one. You see, when we one day come to Beijing again we would like to pay our respects at your parents' grave. And then we need some guidance, I guess. We w
