內容簡介

本書為烏蔚庭醫師自傳（新版，採中英文雙語發行）。烏蔚庭，出生在動盪的中國，國立臺灣大學早期校友，美國路易斯安那州慈善醫院（Charity Hospital）病理學臨床研究博士，中國浙江寧波衛生職業技術學院護理學院「烏氏健律助學金」發起人，2010年自美國返回臺灣定居。本書為烏蔚庭博士與生命中最重要的四位女人的回憶：「她們恰好分別佔滿了我有二個心房 及二個心室的，前後相連結，彼此相依靠的心（臟），使我一生雖無轟轟烈烈，卻充充實實；沒有她們──我的生命將如一泓死水般，無波無浪、無漣無漪──那將會是什麽樣的乏味、無聊和浪費啊？」

魏竹壽─她開啟了我少男天真情竇─不再回頭；
張克玲─她堅定了我對愛情的忠誠─憐我憐卿；
烏一欣─她促導了我體驗父女親情─舐犢情深；
周韻香─她告訴了我相愛毋須年青─只需有情。

This book is dedicated to the four women most important in Wei-Ting Wu，s life.

The human heart has four chambers. The four women most important in Wei-Ting Wu，s life occupy each of the four chambers of my heart, connected and inseparable, making my heart whole, making my uneventful life rich and fulfilled.

Without them, Wei-Ting Wu，s life would be a pond of still water, no waves, no ripples.
What a wasted and drab life that would have been.

Wei-Ting Wu dedicated this book to:

Wei Zhushou, my first love in days I can never return to
Chang Kehlin, the anchor of my life who gave me boundless tender love
Wu Yishin, who allowed me to experience fatherly affections
Zhou Yunxiang, who taught me it is never late to love

Epilogue後記

Sometime after Dad moved back to Taiwan in 2010, he told me he was going to pen an autobiography. My immediate, knee-jerk, typical daughter reply was, “Why? Who cares?” Yes, this sounds quite disrespectful. Dad and I are similar in our manner of communication. We are both frank and to the point, often unaware of the impact of our frankness, until too late. I went on to explain to him my comment, hoping he had not been offended. “Dad what is so very special about your life that others will want to read about it? I mean, you’ve shared so many stories with so many friends and family members for all these years. Between all of us, we know about your childhood struggles, your many round-trip travels to and from Taiwan, your much-admired perseverance in pursing mom, your early years in America, etc.” He patiently waited for me to stop talking.
爸爸在2010年回到台灣後，有一天告訴我，他打算撰寫自傳。作為女兒的我下意識給了一個典型女兒式的回答：“為什麼要寫？ 誰在乎呀？” 是的，這聽起來似乎很不恭敬。爸爸和我的交流方式相似。我們都既坦率又直言不諱，每每太遲才意識到這種坦率對聽者的衝擊。我接著向爸爸解釋我的想法，以免他覺得被冒犯： “爸爸，您的生活有什麼特別之處，以至於別人會想讀？ 我的意思是，這些年來，您已經跟眾多朋友和家人分享了許多故事。 在親友圈子裡，我們都知道您的童年掙紮，您多次往返台灣的旅行，您執著追求媽媽的情感，以及您在美國的早年生活，等等。” 爸爸只是耐心地等待著我說完。

He replied, “I want to put it ALL in writing for your daughters so they will always know about their Gong Gong and Pau Pau and the family history.”
他回答說：“我想把所有這些故事都寫成文字留給你的女兒，讓她們永遠瞭解她們的公公，婆婆，和我們家族的歷史。”

So, he proceeds to write this autobiography, completely in Chinese, which neither I nor my daughters can read! Hmmmm…
於此，爸爸開始動手撰寫這本自傳，全部用中文完成，結果我和我的女兒都沒法閱讀！這可...

Dad completed the book in 2013 and then passed away a year later in Taiwan on December 21, 2014. He spent that last 5-6 months of his life lying in a hospital bed, his health slowly but surely deteriorating. I spent much of 2014 in Taiwan by his side. His three granddaughters each flew to Taiwan and spent what was possibly their last time, with him. He joked and laughed with them as best as he could. He was so proud of them. Till the end, his faith in God never waned and we prayed every day before I left his hospital room for the night. He was at peace.
爸爸於2013年完成這本書，一年後2014年12月21日在台灣去世。他生命的最後五、六個月皆在醫院的病床上度過，健康狀況緩慢但確切地惡化。2014年的大部分時光我都在台灣陪伴在父親身旁。他的三個外孫女也盡力飛往台灣，與她們的公公一起度過最後的日子。父親盡可能地與外孫女們輕鬆談笑，他如此為她們感到驕傲。直到最後一刻，他對上帝的信仰從未消減，我每天晚上離開醫院之前，我們都一同禱告。父親的心境是平和的。

In retrospect, his spending copious hours writing this book was a good thing. It kept him happily busy for many years. I can see him eagerly assembling all his papers, and he kept lots of records, love letters, pictures, etc. Once assembled in an orderly fashion I see him happily recalling events, even sad events, and writing his thoughts, then revising the manuscript, and finally doing research on self-publication. Dad was a meticulous and organized man when it came to projects. He always laid a solid foundation before beginning any project, using detailed research, making sure he had all the tools ready at hand. He always had a plan A and plan B and then some. When it was finally published, he bought many copies and sent them to all his friends, all over the world, even those who could not read a word of Chinese.
回想起來，父親花大量時間寫這本書是一件好事。這使他愉快地忙碌了許多年。我可以想像他熱切地整理以往所有的文章，以及保存的許多記錄，情書，相片等。當所有這些歷史記錄都被有序的整理，我能想像父親愉悅地回憶每個事件，即使是悲傷的事件，並寫下自己的想法，然後修改手稿，最後研究怎樣自費出版。在項目管理方面，爸爸是一個細緻而有條理的人。開始任何項目之前，他總是先打下堅實的基礎，詳細研究，確保所有需要的工具都準備齊全。他總是有一個A計劃，一個B計劃，以及其它準備工作。當書最終出版時，父親購買了許多本，郵寄給分散在世界各地的親朋好友，甚至包括一個中文字也看不懂的朋友們。

Although at the time, I quietly chuckled at dad’s intensity, his sheer determination to complete this autobiography, I’m so very grateful that he made the herculean effort to see it to completion. Of course, dad never left things half done or done poorly. I can hear him now, “If you are going to do something, do it well and to completion! Don’t be lazy!” Dad was never lazy, and once he decided on something, that was it.
儘管當時我為爸爸完成這本自傳的專注和堅持不懈而竊笑，但我非常感激最終看到他以艱苦超絕的意志完成了這樁心願。當然，爸爸從來就不會馬虎行事或半途而廢。我現在依然清楚記得他的教誨，“如果你要做一件事情，就要把它做好，做到底！ 別偷懶！”爸爸從不懶惰，一旦他決定做某件事，就一定能完成。

This autobiography gives us (me) a permanent record of his life as he experienced and remembered it, which is something much different than when he told a story. His writing also revealed a side I didn’t know or was too self-absorbed to see. In working with Dr. Xiang the translator and a Chinese linguistic professor who is both knowledgeable and competent in explaining many of the nuances of dad’s stylistic writing, I now see dad in a different light. I didn’t know he was such a romantic, a poet, a man of deep cultural understanding. I only knew him as typical Chinese dad. He worked hard in everything, took care of mom and all the household chores, paid all the bills, and whose style of discipline was through “tedious” logical (dao li) explanations of my offense. He loved his job, he believed in always doing what is “right, just, correct, proper, respectful, and helping people” which caused him to often “stick his nose where it didn’t belong!” He was never ever late….ever. He often said, “If you show up at 8 for an 8 o’clock appointment, then you are already late.” Dinner was always at 6pm sharp and if you were a guest and showed up at 6:15, you got the “evil eye” and then only leftovers. He was a terrible joke teller often laughing so hard at the punchline, he could not accurately deliver it, so no one actually heard the entire joke! He enjoyed his many long-term friendships and was himself a very loyal friend to many. Above all, he loved mom and they had an interesting marriage, a relationship I did not fully understand until much later in life. To read and re-read his recollection of her fight with cancer brought tears to my eyes.
這本自傳給予了我們（尤其是我）一份父親所經歷過和記憶中的生活的永久記錄，這與他口頭講故事時大不相同。爸爸的文字揭示了我所不知道的、或是我太關注自我而沒能瞭解到的父親的一面。中國語言學領域的向雪花教授在將這本書翻譯成英文的過程中，耐心與我解釋父親文體中眾多細微之處，讓我從新的角度瞭解了爸爸。我以前從不知道他是這麼一個浪漫主義者、詩人、和具有深厚文化底蘊的人。在我的印象中，他是個典型的中國式爸爸。他所有的事情都親力親為，照顧媽媽，承攬家務，支付所有的賬單，他的管教風格就是對我的叛逆行為做一番“乏味”的邏輯分析（講道理）。他熱愛自己的工作，秉持為人做事應當“正直，公正，正確，合理，尊重和幫助他人”的原則，以至有多管閒事之嫌。他從來沒有遲到過……永遠不會。他常說，“如果你有8點鐘的約會，但你8點鐘才出現，那麼你已經遲到了。” 如果晚餐是在下午6點準時開餐，你是客人，卻在6點15分出現，你會獲得“邪惡的眼光”，只能得到剩菜剩飯。父親講笑話的技術非常糟糕，經常講到笑點處自己就已經笑得不行，無法準確傳達笑話，以致沒人能真正聽懂整個笑話！他有許多老朋友，也是許多人的忠實好友。最重要的一點是，他愛媽媽，他們有一段有趣的婚姻，直到許多年以後我才完全瞭解這種關係。閱讀父親所記錄的母親與癌症鬥爭的回憶，每每使我淚盈滿眶。

His recollections of my life gave me some perspective on what he thought was going on in my head. Of course, parents never really know what's going on in their child's head and they don't really have the full picture of any situation. I regret that so much of my adult life, so many events and decisions, distressed both my parents. But I believe they would both be happy to know, I survived all those experiences and each one molded me into the person I am today and the mother I wanted to be for my own daughters. I'm grateful that my parents instilled in me so many “old fashion character traits”, even as I once promised myself, as many children do, to “never turn out like my parents!”
父親在書中對我的回憶使我對他為人父母的想法獲得了一些新的視角。當然，父母永遠不會真正知道孩子的腦袋裡在想些什麼，而且也不可能真正瞭解任何事情的全貌。我所遺憾的是，我成年後的諸多時光、諸多事件以及諸多選擇曾使我的父母倍感困擾。但是我相信他們倆都會很高興知道，我從所有經歷中闖過來了，每個困境都幫助我成為今天的我， 幫助我成為我所想成為的三個女兒的母親。即使我曾像許多孩子那樣發誓，“我希望我永遠不會成為像我父母那樣的人！” ，我真的很感謝我的父母向我灌輸了許多“古典的美德和品質”。

This is an explanation of the appendices from Prof. Xiang. When I first read them, I had no clue why they were part of this book. The last piece about the wet nurse, was truly confusing especially the genealogy aspect!
以下是向教授對本書附錄的解釋。當我第一次閱讀那些附錄章節時，我不知道它們為什麼是本書的一部分。最後一篇關於奶媽的文章，尤其是有關家庭序列部分，實在令人費解！

“About the appendices, these fictional stories are not real, not real people or names. They are your father's creative writing when he was in NTU as a college student. They were not written together with the memoir. They were old publications.
“關於附錄，這些虛構的故事不是真實的，不是真實的人物或名字。 它們是您父親在台大（NTU）求學時的文學創作，並非回憶錄的一部分，只是昔日舊文的收錄。”
