玫瑰同學,各位黃埔英雄的後人,我外公也是黃埔六期,

傅作義部下,衛戍北平.八年抗戰, 一直跟傅作打義日本人. 後來促成北平和平解放也有他老家的一份功勞，再後來解甲回鄉，又顛沛他鄉, 又幾經輾轉，最終晚景可算是淒涼，也沒有在曆史的長河裏留下一個小浪花。當時發生的事情，可能跟曆史書上的記載有一些出入。我上大學的時候每月幫他領工資，或者叫生活費，隻有一百來塊。

If he had made different choices under many occassions, things would have been dramatically different for him(could be worse too), 但是他老人家心胸豁達，he looked at these things will a very peaceful mind, 軍人出身，生活非常有規律，九十多歲去世的時侯還天天讀報，頭腦清晰，思維敏捷，在文革中也沒有受到什麽衝擊, by staying under the radar, lol...

我幾年前看《集結號》就特別有感慨, history only remembers(and rewards) those who survived, in addition to the reward of survial itself.

有時候我都會替他惋惜，but on the other hand, if he had made different choices, 今天這個世界上也許就沒有左總了, and ZZ wouldn't have been writing to y'all from Spain today, lol... 所以今天zz的存在，其實是一個非常小幾率的事件。As a matter of fact, everyone's exsistance is a very small probability event, as, among many other factors, you had to outswim billions of your fellow sperms to begin with, and the same goes for your parents, your parents' parents, and so on, lol... even the time and place, their movements before, during and after the act matter too. ooops, 扯遠了, lol...

BTW，Dr.Z 長這麽帥，腦子這麽好使, 有外公四分之一的功勞, lol...
