At
87, my mom is in pretty good health. Every morning she would
go out to the market, bargaining hard and making sure that the
peddler did not cheat on her on scale, or pass out counterfeits
money. While we were still at breakfast, she had begun planning
for lunch and dinner, and out to the market she would go, again.
Hence,except for the photo on top, and the last one below, all
other pictures on this page were taken in the marketing places.
After we arrived homoe on July 9, we spent the
next three days in Shima and Zhangzhou, then another three days
each in Xiamen and Fuzhou. Then I came back to Shima to
stay with my mom, until we left China for Hongkong on August 4.
My next visit in four years should last longer and will not be
in summer.

妈妈八十七岁,身体仍好得很。每天一早她就自己去市场买菜,还不忘讨价还价,看斤两准头,以及提防假钞。然后早餐还没吃完她就考虑午餐和晚餐的事了。所以,这页的照片,除了上头这一张,及底下最后一张,都摄于菜市场。
我们七月九日回到石码,第二天去海澄看姨母,第三天去漳州,隔天又回石码。然后,厦门、福州各去三天后,我又回到妈妈身边,直至八月四日我们离开去香港。下一次回来应该是在四年以后。倒是应该可以多住些日子,而且选个天气凉爽的季节。
