彭明先生逝世已五年多了。2008年3月下旬,张静如先生来电话告诉我,彭先生因胃癌在北医三院已做过手术,现住在中日友好医院的中医病房。我记下病房号,第二天就去看他。他精神虽不如过去,但仍谈笑风生。我本以为不久他就会康复,谁知6月27日竟传来噩耗,而我与先生的这一次见面,竟成了永诀。 Mr. Peng Ming has been dead for more than five years. In late March 2008, Mr. Zhang Jingru called to tell me that Mr. Peng had undergone surgery in North Third Hospital because of gastric cancer and now resides in a Chinese medicine ward at China-Japan Friendship Hospital. I wrote down the ward number and went to see him the next day. Although his spirit is not as good as the past, he is still laughing and joking. I thought he would soon recover, who knows that bad news came on June 27, and this time my husband and I met, it has become Yongjue.
