Hi Mom. Thanks for the pictures. They look great. I understand everything you said last night before you were heading for the airport after the wedding. I’m sorry if I’m not being a good son to you. I know I never will be the son you've wanted to have. But I always want to prove to you that I can do it on my own. I don’t want you to worry about me. I know there’s nothing I can do to pay you back but all I want you to know is I love you.
媽媽：謝謝您發來的照片，太棒了。參加完我的婚禮後您在去機場前對我說的話我都心領神會。我為自己沒有做到您所期望的那麼好而抱歉，我知道我一直都沒能做到。可是我總是想證明給您看，我能行， 您不用再為我擔憂了。您的恩情我無法還報，但我想讓您知道我愛您，媽媽。
I cried at the wedding because it hurt me to make you feel that I’ll belong to another woman, and we are not as close as we used to be and can’t share all kinds of things each other as we used to. I feel like, because of the marriage , a force pulling me away from you. That’s not what I wanted.
It’s not true that I treated Kassie’s family better than my own. No other family can get closer to me than Mom’s. I will always be your son and your friend. I hate myself sometimes for what I have done that hurt you…. I love you Mom. I hope you understand it is not easy to get things straight at the same time.
我並不會因為進了Kassie家就“樂不思蜀”。我永遠都是您的兒子和朋友。
我恨自己曾經做過讓您傷心的事…. 我是愛您的，只是同時處理某些關係對我不是件容易事。
Please don’t feel bad for what you’ve said that hurt. You are the best Mom anybody longs for. I should say I’m the luckiest kid on this plant. Let all the past be past and let’s move on forward together......you are still my friend. How could I let my closest friend go because I have a wife? I really hope you to come and see me at Lemoore CA......
For some reason I cried hard when I thought about you. I’m scared and happy for you at the same time. I’m scared to lose you in my life, I know one day I will. I’m happy for you because you are leaving a ungraceful life and will start a new one. I don’t know how many years, months, weeks, days, minutes and seconds........all I know is you did all these not because you enjoyed it or wanted to but because you had no choice. You did all these for me. You would lose your own self-esteem and exchange a better chance in life for me. No matter how many thanks I’d say to you or how many flowers I’d send you, nothing ever can compare with the great sacrifice you’ve made all those years. But I still want to thank you for never giving me up, always loving me and being there for me. I wish I can turn your life into a book and let everybody know how lucky I am to have a mother like you. You are not verbally and physically love your child; you give your soul and your heart and your life to prove your love. I've never told you about this Mom: you are the heroine in my eyes, and the greatest inspiration of my life..........When you read this email please don’t cry again. You know how much I love you and how much I’ve wanted to be by your side.....
我哭了，那是悲喜交加。我怕有一天會失去您，我知道總有一天會的；我為您高興，因為您就要重新開始新的生活。不知過了多少年多少月，多少個分分秒秒，您在那裡度過每一天，不是因為喜歡而是因為無奈。這一切都是為了我，為我有更好的生活前景和機會。無論我說多少感激的話，送多少鮮花給您，也報答不了您為我所作的萬分之一。我尤其要感謝的是您從不放棄我、您的愛和您的支持。我希望自己能寫一本關於您的書，讓天下所有人知道，有這樣的媽媽我多麼地幸運。您不是用語言去愛孩子，而是用心、用生命。我從來沒對您說起，您是我心目中最偉大的英雄，是激勵我一生最大的動力….讀到我的郵件可別再哭了。 您該知道我有多麼愛您、我會多麼堅定地站在您的一邊…
Still remember when I was little I followed you wherever you were going? I wish I could never grow up so I could always follow you around on streets, holding all the bags for you. I wish when you were sick sometimes so I could make food for you or ride bike to the street corner to buy the staff you loved to eat, and sit on the bed next to you for your stories or just watching you. I remember you always sent me to free market for hot buns. You had your favorite crispy covers and I had the rest of it. See I still remember all those things. I wish I could turn the time backward all over again because I enjoy every minute being with you. Well Mom you get my point.........
Love you Mom!
Your son Yiming
