杰茜，有智慧，人缘好，比较有钱，会弹钢琴，懂得中国茶叶，曾在大学教过中国的茶道。她身上中国元素很多，也会做些中国饭菜，经常请这些练气功的朋友到她家吃饭聊天。
Joyce was wisdom, popularity, wealthy with lots of money, and she could play piano, knew Chinese tea, she had ever taught Chinese tea ceremony in the university. China elements on her were so many; she also could do Chinese meals, often asked these practicing Qigong friends to her home for dinner and chat.
 
　　我们还把气功编成了一个小册子，便于教授，供学员们参照。
每个周六，在公园都可以见到杰茜，一见面，她就会亲切地拥抱我，开始我不习惯，后来就习以为常了，那是一个美国妈妈的拥抱，很温馨，很亲切。
We also compiled Qigong into a booklet for teaching conveniently and for trainees’ reference.
Every Saturday, I saw Joyce in the park, as we met， she would lovingly embraced me, at first I was not used to it, later I was accustomed, that was an American mother’s hug, very sweet, very warm.
 
她是澳大利亚人，她的老公是美国海军军官，30年代中期，到澳大利亚执行公务时，他们相遇相爱了，杰茜跟随他来到美国，成家立业,生儿育女。
She was from Australia, her husband was an America naval officer, in the mid-term of 1930s he performed official duties to Australia, they met and fell in love. Joyce followed him to America, married and settled down to give birth to and raise children.
 
2000年杰茜的老公患了老年痴呆症，又得了食道癌，住进了老年公寓，他不愿受那手术放化疗的苦，在杰茜的关心呵护下，安心地去了天堂。
In 2000, her husband suffered from Alzheimer's disease, and then got esophagus cancer, moved to the apartment for the aged; he would not suffer any of that operation and chemotherapy, so with Joyce’s care, he went to heaven peacefully.
 
认识了杰茜，彼此谈天说地，很快我们就成了好朋友,知心朋友，什么都聊，一聊就是半天。
As I met Joyce, we talked with each other about everything under the sun, and soon we became good friends, intimate friends, we talked about everything, and once we talked, it may last half a day.
 
1997年我回国待了几个月，回到美国后的周六，就去公园练气功，看到了久违了的杰茜，她的气色异常的好，脸上白里透着粉色，泛着红光，蓝色的眼睛跳动着快乐的音符，比起以前好像一下子年轻了几十岁。
In 1997, I had returned home for a few months. On the Saturday after I went back to America, I went to the park to practice Qigong, seeing the long lost Joyce. She looked very well, her face was white tinged with pink, suffused with red, her blue eyes beating happy note, as if she was suddenly younger dozens of years than ever before. 
 
　　我问她，“嗨，杰茜最近咋啦，气色这么好？”
“啊，是啊，保法，我秘密地恋爱了，我已经坠入爱河，我们天天写信和打电话，好幸福啊。”
I asked her, "Hey, Joyce, how about you recently? Why do you look so well?"
"Oh, yes, Baofa, I'm in love secretly, I have fallen in love, we write a letter and make a phone call every day, how happy we are!"
 
　　原来，杰茜也回澳大利亚探亲了，遇到她小时候的男同学，他曾经追过她，他的孩子大了，老婆死了。 这一对老朋友相遇了，一下子迸出了爱情的火花。
瞧，这就是杰茜，和我无话不谈的好朋友。
Originally, Joyce also had returned to Australia to visit relatives. She met her classmate as she was very young, who had ever pursued her. His children had grown up, and his wife died, so the two old friends met again, suddenly the spark of love burst out between them.
Look, this was Joyce, a good friend of mine who talked everything with me.
 
在圣地亚哥华人创业气氛的感染下，我经常想到我的未来，常和杰茜谈创业，智慧的杰茜太太，是我的智囊，免费的智囊。
Infected by the atmosphere of Chinese pioneering In Santiago, I often thought of my future, and often talk about entrepreneurship with Joyce, as sapiential Mrs. Joyce was my think-tank, a free think-tank.
       
这期间，有个公司的老板找我来了，他叫罗伯特（Robert），台湾人，在美国很成功。我有一个药物载体的好项目，当我把简单的项目计划书给他看了后，他马上决定投资10万美元，占有50%的股份，我觉得这事可以进行。当准备注册公司时，罗伯特提出他要增加5万元的投资，多要1%的股份，成为51%的股东。我就和杰茜商量，她说：“不行，他要的是控股权。他投资的数目并不多，而开发药物研究需要很多的钱，15万美元根本不够。”她让我回绝了他，我当时真有点舍不得，毕竟那个时候我非常需要那笔钱。
During this period, a company boss came to meet me, who was called Robert, Taiwanese, very successful in America. I had a good project of drug carrier, as I showed him a simple project plan; he immediately decided to invest $100,000, 50% of the shares. I thought it could be done. When we were preparing for register of the company, Robert proposed that he should increase the investment of ＄50,000, much to the share of 1%, to become the shareholder of 51%. I discussed this with Joyce, she said: "No, he is holding the right. The number of his investment is not much, while the development of the drug research requires a lot of money, $150,000 is not enough." She let I reject him, I was really a bit reluctant, after all that time I very much needed that money.
 
没过几天，杰茜来了，她决定借给我10万美元，“你自己开公司先用着。”写了一张纸的合同，马上就把钱给了我。
A few days later, Joyce came, as she decided to lend me 100,000 dollars, "Open your own company with it at first." Write a paper contract, she immediately gave me the money.
 
这就是我创业的第一笔资金。1999年当我的医院开业后，钱就如数地还给她了，也还了利息，但她把利息退了回来，她说：“那是给儿子的，不需要还息。”
This was my first venture funds. In 1999, when I opened the hospital, I repaid her the money with interest, but she put the interest back, she said: "It was for my son, and I do not need the interest."
 
　　杰茜，我的美国妈妈，我的老朋友，我感谢你。
气功班还在照常，一练就是二十多年，只是杰茜和我不参加了。杰茜，2004年因为癌症去了天堂，找她的海军老公去了。而我，因为在中国办了几家医院，整天忙碌着,很少回美国。
Joyce, my American mother, my old friend, I thank you.
The Qigong class was still as usual, and the practice lasted more than 20 years, but Joyce and I didn't participate in it any more. Joyce went to heaven because of the cancer in 2004 to find her navy husband. And I was always very busy all day for a few hospitals in China, so I had little time to go back to America.
 
2010年秋天里的一天，是一个周六，在美国，开完学术交流会议，我漫无目的地在马路上走着，抬头发现，我竟来到了那个曾有杰茜练气功的公园。 
One day in the autumn of 2010, a Saturday, in America, after the conference, I aimlessly walked in the street. As I looked up, I found I had unexpectedly come to the park where Joyce once practiced Qigong.
 
公园里仍然有一群老人，他们正在练气功，一招一式那么熟悉，噢，那正是我教的气功！我仿佛又回到了从前，仿佛看到了杰茜，她扭动着她那有些肥胖的腰身，认真地练着……等他们练完了，我上前攀谈，他们已经没人认识我了，这里也没有了杰茜，这气功班不知已经换了多少批人了。
In the park, there were still a group of old people, who were practicing Qigong, every gesture and motion was so familiar to me, oh, that was the Qigong that I had taught them! I seemed to have returned to the past, as if I had seen Joyce, who twisted her some fat waist, carefully trained...... When they had finished, I came up in conversation with them, few of them could recognize me, among them there was yet no Joyce, no one knew how many group of people had changed in the Qigong class.
 
但当我告诉他们，我叫于保法时，他们意外地欢呼雀跃，称我于老师，马上上前握手，问长问短。原来，美国人喜欢中国的气功，那本我编写的小册子，还在沿用，人传人，相互推广，成为一个圈子。
While as I told them I was Yu Baofa, they were accidentally cheerful as a lark, called me Teacher Yu, immediately stepped forward to shake hands with me, making detailed inquires. Originally, Americans liked Chinese Qigong, and the pamphlet I compiled was still in use, person to person, mutual promotion, became a circle.
 
真是高兴，这样一个小小的气功练习班，生命力如此的强大，更使我感到欣慰的是，他们在公园的旁边种了一棵树，树上刻有她的名字——杰茜，以此来纪念她。
I was really happy the vitality of such a small Qigong practicing class was so strong, what more made me feel gratified, they planted a tree next to the park inscribed with her name – Joyce to commemorate her.
 
　　杰茜，不知你在天堂看到了吗？
杰茜在去世前，还专门与我通了一个长途电话，了却她心中对我的挂念，当时我在北京参加全国人民代表大会。
Joyce, I do not know whether you see it in heaven?
Before her death, Joyce still specifically made me a long-distance call to settle her concern to me in her heart, when I was participating in the National People's Congress in Beijing.
 
　　我们还聊了很长的时间，也聊了好多事情。
　　我告诉她：“我要回美国救你，我还有很多办法，你放心，保法一定能救你。”
她却说:“保法，我已经知足了，癌症30多年了，转移后也有十年，已经准备好了，我87岁了，儿女们都在我身边，我准备走了，我很高兴。”
We talked for a long time, also talked about a lot of things.
I told her: "I'm going back to America to save you, I still have a lot of ways, and you can rest assured, Baofa is sure to save you."
While she said: "Baofa, I have already been satisfied, as it was 30 years since I suffered cancer, after the transfer it was another ten years, I have already prepared, I am 87 years old, children are on my side, I'm ready to go, I am very happy."
 
　　这个时刻，我好心酸，我向她表示了遗憾和痛苦。
她却说，“保法，不要难过，这是早晚的事，我也准备了多年，你在中国好好干吧，不要影响你的工作，我爱你，保法。”
The moment, I was very sad, I said to her I was very regret and pain.
She said, "Baofa, don't be so sad. This is something sooner or later, I also have prepared for a number of years. You do a good job in China, do not let it affect your work. I love you, Baofa."
 
　　我们是在友好的气氛中告别，杰茜说“再见”，我也道了一声“再见”，不不，那不是再见，那是永别啊。过后我又想，杰茜也许说得对，就是“再见”，在天堂里我们会见面的。
杰茜平静地走了，有尊严地结束了生命，我们从此再也无法联系。
We said goodbye in a friendly atmosphere, Joyce said "Goodbye", I also said "Goodbye". No, that's not “Good bye”, it was “Farewell”. Afterwards, I thought, Jessie might be right, that was "Goodbye", we would meet in the heaven.
Joyce walk away quietly, with dignity to the end of her life, we would never touch.
