In Memory of Paul: Words of Waits

2019年2月9日,我们夫妻两人在Bradford的一家酒店住宿,好友John的妈妈Elaine阿姨得知这一消息后和她的伴侣Paul驱车三个小时连夜从Manchester赶来,还给我专门带了礼物,Elaine阿姨不知道我妻子也在,又把给自己女儿送的礼物送给了我的妻子。我们在酒店的酒吧里畅聊好几个小时,Elaine阿姨和Paul叔叔又深夜驱车赶回了Manchester。
匆匆一面,Paul叔叔非常和善健谈。六年后的今天他在于癌症抗争多年后离世。
REST IN PEACE, PAUL。
愿天堂没有病痛,我们缅怀您。

On February 9th, 2019, my wife and I stayed at a hotel in Bradford. When Aunty Elaine, the mother of our good friend John, heard the news, she and her partner Paul drove three hours from Manchester in the middle of the night. They brought me a gift, and Aunty Elaine didn’t know that my wife was also there. She gave my wife the gift she had bought for her own daughter. We chatted for several hours in the hotel bar, and Aunty Elaine and Uncle Paul drove back to Manchester in the middle of the night again.
After a hurried meeting, Uncle Paul was very kind and talkative. Today, six years later, he passed away after years of fighting cancer.
REST IN PEACE, PAUL.
May there be no pain in heaven. We remember you.

The kind words of Waits, Zhangye and Gansu’s biggest Manchester City fan.
