TransltionAfter

dinner,

we

all

sat

around

the

hearth.

Aunt

Susan

was

still

in

the

grief

of

losing

Uncle

Robert.

In

her

soft

voice

she

told

us

about

their

past

years.

Uncle

Robert

joined

the

army

shortly

after

they

were

engaged.

Given

the

critical

situation

at

the

time

when

lots

of

army

men

didn’t

return

alive,

you

can

imagine

how

much

overjoyed

Aunt

Susan

was

to

see

Uncle

Robert

come

back

safe

and

sound

from

the

European

battlefield.

Then

they

got

married

and

brought

up

five

children.

For

all

those

years,

their

affection

for

each

other

grew

stronger

in

the

course

of

overcoming

difficulties

and

hardships

in

life.

I

was

fascinated

by

Aunt

Susan’s

story,

which

was

totally

different

from

my

ideal

of

love.

They

practiced

giving

and

sharing

in

their

daily

life

instead

of

pursuing

passion

and

romance.

Amazingly,

such

love

lasted

through

their

whole

life.IV.
