I took these very precious color photos on May 6th 1964 at Alec’s (鴻騫) house in Lincoln. It was your mother’s birthday. She was very happy, so she changed clothes several times for photos. Inconceivably, it would be only six months later that she would leave us.

1964 年十一月三日上午八時半，見到愛妻余氏夫人之情況，此日悲痛真使我心碎矣，拎當晚十一時，記寫之悲詞如左：
「佩芸吾妻，我欲泣無聲，為何妳的命這樣苦、這樣短，日下子女均在成立獨立，依次開始之中，正是妳的放光明之日，再五年妳可隨意駐住各個兒女庽處，奈不料惡魔之爪申展妳的體內致各位，醫師挽救無術，回思兩個星期前，即十月十七日，妳尚強硬的主決自己去買新地毯，十月十九、二十、二十一、二十二我們共同粉刷客廳，，十月二十四星期六，妳去南鄉英齡家住一夜，二十五我來陪妳回家，二十六、二十七大家仍是歡天喜地，雖妳覺胃不舒服，亦未想到大難臨頭，在禮拜三（十月二十八）我陪妳去看家庭醫生，配來方單是药丸，每天吞三片，妳說此药丸甚好。
妳常說要先我走一步，請妳慢走，等待我一齊去吧。
1964 年十一月三日晚十一時 圻源泣記」Copy:
At 8:30 in the morning on November 3, 1964, I saw the situation of my beloved wife Yue. The grief that day broke my heart. At 11 o’clock that night, I wrote these sad words:
Paiyung, my wife, I want to cry silently, why is your life is so bitter and so short? Our children are all, in turn, establishing their independence. It is your time to shine. In five years, you can live freely at each of our children’s homes. Unexpectedly, it seems the evil spirit’s hands have claimed your body and the doctor is unable to save you. I recall just two weeks ago on October 17th, you made the difficult decision to go in person to buy a new carpet. On October 19th, 20th, 21st, 22nd, we painted the living room together. On Saturday, October 24th, you stayed at Evelyn’s (英齡) house in Nanxiang (Southampton?) for one night. On the 25th, I came and accompanied you home. On the 26th and 27th, everyone was still happy. Although you had stomach pain, we never thought it would be an imminent disaster. On Wednesday October 28th, I accompanied you to the family doctor who prescribed pills for you to take by mouth three times a day. You said the pills were helping.
My God! Unexpectedly, at 6:30am, the morning of October 30, you felt nauseous so you got up and went to the kitchen. You intended to vomit into the basin but, unable to vomit, you fainted. I called the doctor at 9 o’clock. The doctor said he would meet you at 11 o’clock. We immediately called for an ambulance, and I accompanied you to Paddington General Hospital. Three doctors took turns examining, doing blood tests, blood pressure measurements, etc., and checked and examined your heart. At 4:00 in the afternoon, a bed was assigned to you in the eighth ward. The next day they inserted an IV saline drip. Every doctor wished for you to improve your strength. Unexpectedly on the second day, in the middle of the night, you took a turn for the worse. On the morning of the third day, you fell into a coma. You are dying, in a terminal state. I feel like ten thousand arrows are stabbing my heart. I am extremely sad. Our thirty years as husband and wife, like a big dream, our love and our life together, flashes in front of my eyes. My hard-working and good wife, seeing that you will leave me shortly, my heart is broken!
You often say that you want to go first. I’m begging you to go slowly. Wait for me so that we may go together.
At 11 o’clock in the evening on November 3, 1964, Henry’s (圻源) Weeping Record”

《洪羊洞》故事已詳上頁。
《洪羊洞》！ 唱楊延昭詞 二簧快三眼（即三眼一板） 自那日，朝駕歸，安然睡定。三更時，夢見了，年邁爹尊。 曾前番，命孟良，骸骨 請。俱都是，蕭天佐，弄假成真。 真骸骨，在北國，洪羊洞。 望鄉臺，第三層，那 是真。 二次裏，命孟良，番營來進。不知誰，焦克明，他私下後跟。 老軍報，有二將，死在洪羊洞。失去了， 左右膀，難以飛驣。 為北事，終日裏，憂愁疾病。因此上，臣的病，重加十分。l 千歲爺 呀！At the request of Evelyn and seconded by Mickey, I was asked to sing and record a few Chinese operas. I never wanted to record my singing because I know that I don’t sing well. However, just a few days ago, in the garden of Mrs. Chen’s home, with the accompaniment of Mr. You Jiankang on erhu, I sang and recorded a section of “Hongyang Cave”. This fulfilled Evelyn’s request.
The story of “Hongyang Cave” has been detailed on the previous page.
“Hongyang Cave”! Sing Yang Yanzhao’s poems, two springs and three eyes Since that day, he returned home and fell asleep peacefully. At the third watch, I dreamed of being old. Zeng Qianfan, ordered Meng Liang, bones please. All are, Xiao Tianzuo, the fake has come true. Real skeletons, in the Northland, Hongyang Cave. Wangxiang Terrace, third floor, that’s true. In the second time, Meng Liang was ordered to come in with Fanying. I don’t know who, Jiao Keming, he followed in private. Laojun Bao, there were two generals who died in Hongyang Cave. Lost, it’s hard to fly. For the North, all day long, sad and sick. Therefore, the minister’s illness has increased by ten. I Lord Chitose!

又在鴻騫處覓得一張唱片，內中有母對鴻騫講話之留音，這一張唱片是在1952 年十一月十三，我仝汝等的。先母在日本東京渡假，因至東京郵政總局，見有廣告可録音，即刻可由郵局寄帶，故而我們就録了一片，即寄給鴻騫。在片上，你們母親對福齢講： “須每天吃牛奶、吃魚干油，要什麼東西，寫信來，可照買，照寄帶給你。” 言語雖只有幾句，但是父母愛兒女的心裡、熱情，非筆墨能表形。 好在今天你們亦是自為人之父母也。I found another recording at Alec’s place. In it, there is a recording of mother speaking to Alec. It was recorded on November 13, 1952. We were on vacation in Tokyo, Japan. At the Tokyo Post Office, there was an advertisement about audio recordings that could be done and sent by the post office immediately. So we recorded one and sent it to Alec. In the recording, your mother said to Alec: “You must drink milk and take fish oil every day. If you need anything, write to us, we will buy it and send it to you.”
Although it’s only a few words, the heart-felt parental love is expressed beyond written expression.
Fortunately, today you are also parents.
Mother Marr Matriarch Yue – Her sound
Mother Marr Matriarch Yue – Her sound
鴻騫、美齡、英齡、鴻梵、鴻昌，我相信從去年十一月六日你們母親安息歸天以來，當然你們的均唸唸不忘你們的母親，雖然有許多照片可留作紀念，可以取母親照片大家看看，以解渴望，但是照片不為說話按你們，母親在離開我們的時候，沒有留言亦沒有留音，如果我們能使母親音容並存，這是最使我們心慰心安。 按1962 年夏季，為美齡于歸之喜，在香港結婚，你們母親飛香港，親自主持結婚大禮，而且這时候亦是你們母親有生以來最歡喜、快樂，致身體亦發福，因她在歡樂之餘， 托友代聘一位琴師， 録唱了幾段國劇。 你們母親為鴻梵學業，故特去美國訪看了鴻梵、鴻昌，又看到今天的三嫂何肇琴小姐. 在該年十月，母親回來英國
今將1962 年音帶檢出來，再行録取多份，分寄每人一份，大家隨時可聽取你們母親之音，亦可使大家在悲傷中能得到安慰，可是，二嫂MARGARET及材蓮、材良、材珩他們不懂中國話語，我從略的說幾句英語，以作補充，以使他們知道這音帶之意義。
請大家靜黙二分鐘
In August 1965, Henry delivered a speech on tape as follows:
Hongqian, Meiling, Yingling, Hongfan, Hongchang, your mother returned to heaven on November 6th last year and of course I know that you will never forget your mother. Although you have many photos to keep as a remembrance of her, and you may gaze upon these whenever you desire, these photos do not recall the sound of her voice speaking to you. As mother was leaving us, she left no last messages or voice recordings. If we could merge mother’s voice and face, this could be more comforting to us.
In the summer of 1962, your mother flew to Hong Kong for Meiling’s joyful wedding. Your mother hosted the wedding ceremony personally. This was the happiest time of your mother’s life. Happiness makes one’s body healthy. Because of her overflowing joy, she hired an erhu accompanist to record and sing several pieces of Chinese opera.
At George’s urging, your mother looked into going on a special trip to the United States to visit George and Ted, and meet the person who would be today’s third sister-in-law, Ms. He Zhaoqin (Alice). In October of that year, mother returned to England. When Evelyn and I greeted her at the airport, her face was so full of abundant joy that it made everyone feel truly happy. However, unthinkably, only two years later she would say goodbye to us forever, causing me to shed tears every day.
Today, we will listen to the 1962 tapes, make multiple copies of the recording, and send one copy to each person. Now you can listen to your mother’s voice at any time; it may be a comfort in your grief. However, second sister-in-law Margaret and Marya, Alexander Jr., and Jerome do not understand Chinese. I will say a few words in English for them so that they know the meaning of this audio tape.
Please be quiet for two minutes.
Peking Opera
Editor’s note: Starting on this page and continuing to the end of the document, Henry writes out the Peking opera lyrics in full (from the audio recording), including the melody and beats/rhythms, followed by an explanation of the lyrics (history, background, meaning). From here to the end of the document, the translations are done by Google Translate. In many cases, only the explanatory paragraphs were translated into English. The Peking Opera lyrics themselves were left untranslated as I felt that Google’s automated translations would be rendered garbled/meaningless due to the highly poetic style.
母 唱 伍子胥唱詞（二簧慢板）
一輪明月照窗前，愁人心中似箭穿。實指望，到吳國，借兵回轉。 又誰知昭關又遇相阻攔。幸遇皋公他行方便。他把我隐藏在後花園。 一連七日我的眉難展。夜夜何曾得安眠。俺伍員，好一比，喪家之犬。 滿腹的含寃，我向誰言。我好比，哀哀長空雁。我好比，波浪中，小小漁船。 我好比魚兒吞了鈎線。我好比，淺水龍，困在沙灘。思來想去我的肝腸斷。 今夜晚，怎能得，夠睡到明天。《文昭關》故事：
楚平王無道，致伍子胥滿門被害，乃棄楚東行，欲往昊國借兵，謀報父兄被 殺之仇，迨行抵昭關，偶遇隱士東𦤎公，告以昭關方才畫形捕拿，恐難越過，子胥無奈，遂暫住𦤎家，因焦急思慮，七日間鬚髮盡白，𦤎公乃為設計，以至友皇甫訥與子胥面貌相似，故請二人易服，令皇甫先行，子
胥尾之，關吏見皇甫疑為子胥 而扣留之，子胥乃乘此際混過昭關，而皇甫訥仍由𦤎公前往保出。

Fortunately, it is convenient for Gao Gong to travel. He hides me in the back garden. My eyebrows were difficult to stretch for seven consecutive days. Never sleep well every night. My team member, it’s a comparison, a bereaved dog. I’m full of grievances, to whom do I tell. I am like a mourning goose in the sky. I am like a small fishing boat in the waves. I’m like a fish swallowing a hook thread. I am like a shallow water dragon, stuck on the beach. Thinking about going to my heartbroken. How can I get it tonight, enough to sleep until tomorrow.
The story of “Wenzhaoguan”:
The king of Chu Ping was innocent and caused Wu Zixu’s whole family to be murdered. He wanted to go to the country to borrow troops and seek revenge for the murder of his father and brother.

Because of anxious thoughts, his beard was completely white in seven days. 𦤎Duke was designed, so that the faces of friends Huangfuna and Zixu are similar. Go first, son Xu Weizhi, Guan officials saw Huangfu suspected of being Zixu and detained him. Zixu took advantage of this time to cross Zhaoguan, and Huangfune was still sent to save Huangfu.

眼睜睜，高堂母，難得見，兒的老娘！（散板）
要相逢，除非是，夢兒裏團圓。
宋將楊四郎—— 延輝，隨父征遼，兵敗，失落遼境，蕭太后驚其才勇，招為駙馬，初不知他是楊家將也，四郎與鐵鏡公主甚為和愛，惟宋、遼兩國，連歲交兵， 迄未𡩋靜，一日，四郎探悉，宋營係其六弟掛帥，老母在營調度，意欲乘間探望其母與弟，但關口阻擋，非有令箭不能出入，方枯坐宮中，憂思百結，忽為公主所見，詰同再三，始吐真情，幸公主頗能諒解，並許為盜令，助其入關，次日公主朝見蕭后，故揪其子阿哥，令哭，后問故，偽言阿哥欲取䅁上令箭玩弄，后愛外甥，竞許之，惟限翌晨上殿時 即繳還，公主叩謝畢，欣然攜令而出，於是四郎乃得，連夜入關探母。(Editor’s note: This page is translated by Google Translate.

上壇臺，觀那瞻四方。我望江北，鎖長江，連環排上。嘆只嘆，
東風起，火燒戰船，曹營的兵將，無處躲藏。這也是，
大數到，難逃羅網。我諸葛，在壇臺，祝告上蒼。
（搖板）
耳聞得，風聲起，從東而降。為什麼，有一道，殺氣紅光。
曹操既下荊襄，敗劉備，復領兵百萬，乘勝東行，有併吞東吳之勢。
吳主主孫權，准魯肅周瑜之請，令瑜禦之於赤壁。
時諸葛亮奉使至吳，為瑜參贊軍事，瑜欲一鼔而殲曹軍，
乃喑令龐統獻連環計於操，請曹連鎖戰船，俾士卒不受江浪激盪之苦，
一面與亮計議，決以火攻進取，時屆降冬，東南風甚少，
曹營在西北，吳軍在東南，而東南之風萬不可少，
瑜戎馬倥傯，體力大憊，益以火攻計，無東南風可憑，
遂患咯血之症，勢甚沉重。因此各營將士，皆驚惶失措，
當由魯肅告亮，亮以知醫對，與魯肅回入帳晤瑜，對於破曹軍事，
有所商酌，並請瑜令人至南屏山，築高臺一座，
欲以奇門遁甲之法，借東風三晝夜，以助火攻之威，
瑜大驚服。並以亮能奪造化之功，日後必為東吳患，
命丁奉、徐盛、蔣欽、周秦四將，潛至南屏山侯風起而殺亮，
詎意亮知瑜量狹，已早逃歸，所為借東風者。
因亮索識天文，乃預測氣候風雨之變更，而故弄其機巧也。

“Borrowing the East Wind” Story:
Cao Cao went down to Jingxiang, defeated Liu Bei, and regained a million soldiers. By winning eastward, Cao Cao might annex Dongwu. The Lord of Wu, Sun Quan, requested Lu Su and Zhou Yu to make Yu Yu Yu Chibi. When Zhuge Liang was envoy to Wu, he served as Counselor for Yu’s military affairs, and Yu wanted to kill Cao’s army. This is to make Pang Tongxian a series of calculations, and ask Cao to chain the warships, so that the soldiers will not suffer from the turmoil of the waves. On the one hand, they discussed with the bright plan, and decided to attack with fire. The winter is coming, and there is very little southeast wind. Cao Ying is in the northwest, Wu Jun is in the southeast, and the southeast wind is indispensable. The Yu Rong horse is graceful, physically exhausted, and uses fire to attack. There is no southeast wind to rely on. Suffering from hemoptysis, he was very serious. Therefore, the soldiers of all battalions were panicked, When Lu Su tells it, it’s clear to know that the doctor is right, and Lu Su returns to the account to meet Yu. Have some discussion, and ask you to come to Nanping Mountain to build a high platform, I want to use the Qimen Dunjia method to help the fire attack by the east wind for three days and nights, Yu was shocked. And to win the merits of good luck with bright energy, it will be a trouble for Soochow in the future, The four generals Ding Feng, Xu Sheng, Jiang Qin, and Zhou Qin were ordered to dive to the Nanping Mountain and kill them when the wind rose. The true meaning is bright, knowing that the amount of yoga is narrow, and he has already fled and returned. It is also ingenious to learn about astronomy, which is to predict the changes in climate, wind and rain.
