菩萨蛮

〇八年岁末值夫人寿日述怀

（有感于字条留言：几时在何处，午餐有何物。居家琐事，足见真情。）


朝夕相处居家事，同舟共度寻常日。岁月见真情，夫人伴我行。
童心人未老，修道除烦恼。携手养天年，开怀对笑颜。


十二月二十日夫君乔毅题赠

Mails with J.Y.

Dear old friend,

Thank you for your e-mail, I like your poem.

It is strange that there are tears on my face while I am reading your e-mail.

A lot of pictures, which happened on us before, appeared in my mind....

From your saying & writing I can tell that Qiao Yi is Qiao Yi. Your real nature still exists. There is a saying, which is true: "One's nature can't be altered."

I wonder what have happened for 20 years! How have you spent about 9 thousand days there? Why you kept silent ? Oh, It is certain that I would learn a lot from you if you were in China.

Some photos for you. More later if you hope.

Sincerely yours,
JY (10.11.2008 Mo.)

Dear J.Y.,

I’ve got your mails, thank you.

Thanks a lot for the tears shed for my mail, they must due to compassion and empathy — the emotional mutual understanding as traits in being good friends.

Thanks a lot for your good memory with so many pictures having happened on us in the golden age of our nineteen eighties.

Thanks a lot for the photos, they brought me the sweet smiles, the smart aspect, the eloquent gesture and a mind at peace, just angel alike.

Thanks also for the compliment by pointing out that my real nature still exists and that you would like to learn from me.

Actually I’ve got a lot to learn from you. Your ability of getting along with people and competence of organizing activities are beyond any comparison. They due to your personal charm, attractiveness and emotional quotient (EQ).

I wonder how you have kept the ever lasting beauty of youth for the last 20 years. You must have got a special way of fitness training that makes you look even more charming and graceful than before.

In this field I’d also like to learn from you and have some experience exchanges with you, for I’ve been teaching Tai Chi here in Germany (see enclosed photos).

Now let me quote another poem written 24 years ago in memory of my grandfather. Both of my fathers passed away afterwards. So did your mother as you told me. Let this poem show our eternal affectionate memory to them.

满庭芳 清明祭酒

怅忆韶年，烟波浩渺，故里庭院香销。旧欢如梦，何似落花飘。
泪眼频频顾盼，伤流景，风物潇潇。长思忆，千番呐唤，凝噎踏途遥。
迢迢，芳草绿，依依柳色，细雨鸣条。叹春风漫卷，抚弄心潮。
阔别天涯久矣，清明节，酒酹滔滔。残阳里，衷肠望断，相见是今朝。

Looking forward to hearing from you again, hopefully with some more photos.

Sincerely yours,
Q. Y. (15.11.2008 Sa.)

_____________________________________________

Dear QY,

Thank you for your e-mail. You are so kind, I am flattered. I do enjoy reading your e-mails, your poems, even seeing your photos. Honestly speaking, your English + Chinese are so elegant that I feel I am having lessons by reading your words.

You are admired by your close friend. I always regard you as my best friend, a learned brother, a gentleman. You are reliable. It is a great pity for me that you "disappeared" so many years in my life. As you said that's our golden time. Otherwise we could do so much as well as enjoyed so much. LIFE IS LONG, LIFE IS SHORT.

I have lessons on Sunday mornings in another school. After teaching I went to see my daddy. I will show your poem to him someday.

Would you mind if I ask you when you began to teach TAI JI? How did you learn it?
Tai Ji and QI GONG keep me fit. I like sport.

As you know I am an open-minded lady. I always manage to be happy every minute. Being with students make me pleased everyday, many call me mom wu.

I'd like to send you more photos, as you hope.

Yours JY (16.11.2008 So.)

A letter to my old friend

Dear Little Wu,

Twenty years I missed being with you have passed since I saw you last time in Peking. The black hair has turned to grey but with a well-running mind I knew you would be there, as you always were. There is a feeling of eternity in youth, which makes me amend for everything. I couldn’t help but think about you, who had so much to share with me. Friendship provides us with another soul to feel kinship, with someone to share meaningful conversations of life, to recall the past and to dream for the future, in spite of human shortcomings and frailties. We have never discarded this kinship and we place a high value in this precious friendship. That’s why we tried to look for each other after we had unfortunately lost our contacts.

However， we were not put through by a single dial at once. It took the operator of destiny more than ten years to relay the phone, and we had to be patient in waiting. Yesterday was the great occasion and we were finally put through with such an excitement, which stirs the emotions, moves the soul and fires the blood setting hearts aflame. Your sweet voice reminds me of the golden age when we lived in the neighbourhood, sharing all things with each other: joy and laughter, warmth and hope concerning life’s journey. They are the pleasant memories to be reviewed.

Today we could resume the journey with something as pleasant as in the memory. Now I would like to enclose some photos here for you, and hopefully you can still recognize your old friend. One picture shows my coaching of Tai Chi (shadow boxing) in the Medical Centre for Health here in Westfalen. I enjoy teaching this brilliant cultural tradition of our motherland and at the same time enjoy what life is. In this field we have quite a lot to talk with each other, tracing back to the early days of golden 1983 when we used to get together in the West Palace of Longevity.

In addition to that I also attach a Chinese poem as follows. If it is not readable directly here, you may find it in the enclosed document. I hope, this poem written forty years ago might still suit our actual situation. And now, looking forward to hearing from you soon with my best wishes.

Sincerely yours,

QIAO Yi （乔 毅）

Chen celebrates my birthday (16.09.2008)

戊子年八月十六日，明月当空，恰中秋佳节，月照窗明，久不能寐，低吟小诗数句，兼作庆贺乔毅六十一岁寿辰。

金秋飒爽月正圆，柔光似水照无眠。相濡以沫春蚕志，风雨同舟甲子年。

宁静致远平常日，心无羁绊乐悠然。凭君莫道峥嵘事，霜鬓童心真少年。

爱妻锐生于科隆16.09.2008

Chen's early poem (29.10.1975) that touches me forever

如今快成老皮猴子了，过几天就满六十一周岁了。可谓人生苦短。然而早年锐生夫人写给我的小诗总是铭记在心，永世难忘。其中“丹心一片对明月，陶然共醉菊花馨”堪称惊人绝句，被人在我们结婚庆典上引用，实为感人至深。锐生的文笔这么卓越，亏她和我度过了这么多年相依为命的蹉跎岁月。下面是她一九七五年十月二十九日写给我的小诗：

十九日与友同游天坛，树下倾心交谈，肺腑忠言，感人至深，随记下。

园林叶落秋色深，情怀畅叙近黄昏。丹心一片对明月，陶然共醉菊花馨。

咏怀友情：

朝暮思君盼佳期，缘友相逢话语稀。偎依亲昵情不禁，心潮澎湃浪花激。

秋夜星辰秋夜风，依恋难舍叙别情。望影渐失微茫处，祝君平安踏归程。

（二〇〇八年九月十六日乔毅录锐生旧作）

一九九三年九月锐生致乔毅

金秋九月庆寿日，不惑之年闯异邦。
呕心沥血求功业，华章著成鬓染霜。

休戚与共度日月，甘苦相伴倍体尝，
君为鞭梢常策我，磨砺相磋玉枕旁。

隐箩俗尘身自洁，芳惠独幽暗自香。
悟得真谛蝴蝶梦，陶然尽醉效老庄。

光阴荏苒青春逝，流水柔情日月长。
生逢知己当足矣，几番金钟奏梦乡。



一九九四年九月锐生致乔毅

送给亲爱的乔毅
天地间，人是最宝贵的。

怡然自味陶翁乐，才华横溢永韶光。



一九九六年九月锐生致乔毅

功名利禄随波去，养生之道怡天年。
休戚与共二十载，一片冰心在玉壶。

愁一愁，白了头，笑一笑，十年少。

Beim Tai Chi Training

My early Poems (1967 - 1989)

卜算子 — 致刘平，聊慰将离的同志们
一九六七年十一月乔毅续刘平首句所作

柳燕映朝霞，萧瑟秋风咽。壮志凌空战恶涛，却躇轻寒雪？
惜挽越将离，群与难相别。知否冰封雪舞时，已叫迎春雀！


菩萨蛮 — 送战友雁北支农
一九六八年十二月

晶莹朔雪银光灿，青松傲立英姿焕。石径入云中，幽燕画意浓。
清风忽漫起，谁会离别意？携手俯苍穹，山村花更红！


浪涛沙令
一九六九年一月至三月

昨夜北风寒，百感纠缠，别时容易见时难。旧景依稀皆逝去，无限悲欢！
春柳小湖边，共议江天，心潮激荡起波澜，肝胆相呈神共倾，亲密无间！


采桑子 — 胜似重逢
一九七五年八月十四日
与挚友相识虽只二月有余，不似为人引见而初识，却似经年故友重逢。心心相印，情谊深长，千言难表忠诚，可谓志同道合者矣。

见时倍感相识晚，恰似重逢，胜似重逢，携手通行话语衷。
神魂共倾心潮涌，如水柔情，如海深情，飞起江花见赤诚。



无题
一九七六年二月

皎洁月影过帘栊，兴会良宵热泪盈。春意微微吹柳绿，恋丝霭霭映颊红。尊崇敬仰思无语，亲昵偎依脉有声。一片芳心情正迫，几番遥夜奏金钟。


满江红 — 春望
一九七六年三月至四月

遥望长空，云飞处，微茫暮色。忆往事，心潮逐浪，江花激波。
六月初逢闻笑语，园林芳影秋风瑟。梦环宇，缘会正良师，从天落。
光阴度，情难舍，山盟在，钟焰灼。有香烛销泪，不堪疏索。
归燕翩翩寻挚友，垂杨袅袅迎尊客。述峥嵘，红翠笼千山，衷魂迫。

(八十年代版本之第七、八句有云：塞上初逢闻笑语，十年倩影情难舍。第二十句为：俯苍穹)



清平乐 — 海岛游记
一九八八年岁末一行八人游绪尔特岛有感。
一九八九年二月五日夏历除夕乔毅书赠先江君并恭贺新禧。

沙鸥起舞，望尽云崖路。故国依稀逢觅处，且踏潮声信步。
碧波浩瀚连天，良辰笑语欢颜。兄弟情怀畅抒，今朝兴会空前！

In Memory of my Grandfather

A Chinese verse

满庭芳 清明祭酒

缅怀外祖父乔文郁先生 (1891—1960)，聊寄游子思乡之情
乔毅一九八五年三月祭祀外祖父乔文郁先生逝世二十五周年所作

怅忆韶年，烟波浩渺，故里庭院香销。
旧欢如梦，何似落花飘。
泪眼频频顾盼，伤流景，风物潇潇。
长思忆，千番呐唤，凝噎踏途遥。

迢迢，芳草绿，依依柳色，细雨鸣条。
叹春风漫卷，抚弄心潮。
阔别天涯久矣，清明节，酒酹滔滔。
残阳里，衷肠望断，相见是今朝。

The Little Mermaid and the Magician

Among the sculptures of clouds moving in the space,

The Little Mermaid is searching for a certain face….

Could he share the same age?

Would she have to be sage

So as to perceive the image?

And all of a sudden, he appears to her

In the heart of the cloud over there,

And just like a Taoist magician,

High above the indifferent ocean!
