“Merciful God, you have summoned the soul of the deceased to enter into an eternal, bright, and joyful existence. We bury her body here, and let the earth return to the earth, the ash return to the ash, and the dust return to the dust...（慈悲的上帝，逝者的靈魂已蒙您召喚，進入永恒、光明、快樂的所在，我們將她的身體長埋於此地，使土仍歸於土、灰仍歸於灰、塵仍歸於塵……）”
紐約長島陰雲密布，一個白人牧師一邊禱告，一邊將泥土撒在墓穴之內，一行親人好友緩緩步行隨後，他們將泥土撒在棺蓋之上，發出蕭索的簌簌聲，跟在隊伍最後的是一個年輕的華人，神情肅穆，看著棺蓋上香檳色玫瑰逐漸被泥土覆蓋，心中充滿了惋惜和不舍，曾經那耀眼的星光，就這麽短暫的劃過天空成為了流星，葬禮接近尾聲，聽著耳邊的啜泣聲，他不由得重重歎了口氣，加快腳步回到親朋的隊伍行列，和逝者的家人們擁抱致意，便離開了墓園。

中年人卻仿佛並不意外，說道：“Lee, it''s just as I thought. However, you are my best student. Tell me, where do you want to go? No matter where, I hope to be your cornerstone investor.（Lee，果真如我所想。然而，你是我最優秀的學生，說說吧，想去哪裏，無論哪裏，我希望成為你的基石投資人。）”
年輕人眼神堅定，看向遠方的烏雲，那銳利的眼光仿佛想看穿烏雲後的陽光“China! I want to go back to China. I believe that is the new land of milk and honey.中國。我要回到中國去，我相信那裏是新的奶與蜜之地”。 本章尚未完結,請點擊下一頁繼續閱讀---->>>
