Letter from David - 21/9/2008

(这里指的《老屋》是指娘家的房子。它已经是52岁了。前几天,听到三嫂说有一个来自诗巫半路的华人要来买屋子的材料,作他建燕屋用的。听了之后心里有阵子的悲哀。老家就如此没了。告诉外地弟兄姐们,大家都有点伤感。六哥说,他可以从中想到很多往事-----看到我们几个小的在前院跑来跑去,有时跟在父母的身边-----。老屋不见时,我们就会越想念它!)

Ah Ping/ Chong,

Re:Dismantling of Our "Old House"

around...
Always happy to be yr brother.

For all the sentimental attachments to the birthplace house - make very sure you snap a few pictures of it before it goes into history.

刚刚五哥在电话里说的话,跟你说的是同样意思的话:“当他们从屋顶慢慢拆下时,拍一些相片吧!拍到只剩下柱子时,再帮我拍几张。以后我们把相片倒转再看一回,就会从中知道整间屋子的沟造及怎样建法!我们要留着给下一代看。”
我会去拍的!其实之前曾经拍了一些屋里的房
间,很有纪念性的老屋。
谢谢你的提议。
