In my memoir “Witnessing History: one woman’s fight for freedom and Falun Gong”(http://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/210894/witnessing-history-by-jennifer-zeng/), I wrote about “a very elegantly dressed middle-aged Chinese woman” I met on my first day in Melbourne, Australia, after I escaped from China. I was a totally stranger to her. However, when I said that I needed to have a place to stay to write my book, she immediately said, ”You can stay with me.” 

在我的自传《静水流深》(https://plus.google.com/collection/UHkxoB)里,我描写了从中国逃到墨尔本的第一天,我遇到的一位「优雅的中年女士」,(就是照片中这位。)那时我於她完全是个陌生人,但当我提出我需要一个地方住下写书、联系媒体、申请难民时,她立刻决定「收留」我。

Since then I had stayed with her for more than 2 years; and finished writing my book in her home. Every day she cooked all the three meals for me, saying that she’d love to help me focus on my writing. 

我在她家里住了两年多时间,完成了《静水流深》的写作。这期间几乎每顿饭都是她给我做的。

In October 2002, the then CCP leader Jiang Zemin planned to visit the U. S.; and she planed to follow him during his US visit to protect against the persecution of Falun Gong. I needed to stay in Melbourne to help with news editing for the Epoch Times. My work load would be three times more than usual as many volunteer editors would also go to the US to protest. Fearing that I wouldn’t have time to cook, she cooked a lot of food for me before she left; and put them in different boxes so that I would only need to take out one of the boxes and heat it in the microwave when I was hungry…

2002年10月,她要来美国抗议到访的江泽民,我要留在澳洲承担额外多的大纪元编辑工作。她怕我忙得没时间做饭,走之前,特意把好多天的饭都做好、分成一份一份装在盒子里,码在冰箱中,我要吃的时候拿出一盒在微波炉里一热就行了……

I thought I would never be able to return to her what she had given to me. When she came to New York to attend Falun Gong’s annual experience conference this time, I said I would like to meet her and treat her as my most treasured guest. But she only chose a very cheap fast food restaurant in Flushing for me to “treat” her. I spent only about $10 plus for the “treat”. How can I ever pay back her gracious kindness? She is always so considerate; and I definitely have a lot to learn from her!

她对我的恩,是不是「比山高、比海深」?可是,这次她来美国开法会,我说请她吃饭,她却选了一个很便宜的快餐店,加上她内弟,我们三个人,要了两份饭,才花掉我十几元,这样的心意,我要怎麽才能还?

The following are some excerpts from my book about her. I later learned that she was almost 60 years then. But I thought she was only a “middled-aged lady”.

以下是《静水流深》中关於她的片段。我後来才知道,其实那时她已经六十多岁了,但我觉得她就是一位「中年女士」而已。

My gaze was somehow drawn to a very elegantly dressed middle-aged Chinese woman at the other end of the room, her hair coiled on top of her head in a bun. There was about her a certain air of trustworthiness, and I could sense she was very capable. I went over to her and told her that I had just arrived that very day.

有位中年女士不知怎麽吸引我的目光。她的头发盘得高高的,打扮很优雅。更关键的是,她的气质让人觉得她可信赖、能把一切事情都搞定。

‘There are three things on my mind,’ I said to her. ‘First, to contact the media. Second, to apply for refugee status. And third, to find a quiet place to live where I can write my book.’ I asked her if she could help me.

  我径直走到她身边,对她说我有三件事需要帮忙。一是要见媒体,二是要申请避难,三是要找个住处,我需要一个安静的地方写书。请问你能帮我吗?

She was very gracious. Yes, she said, she could help me. I could stay at her place but she couldn’t come to get me for a few days because she was going to take part in a 36-hour protest fast outside the Chinese consulate.

   她优雅地说:「没问题。你住到我那里好了。不过这两天我要参加在中领馆前举行的36小时绝食请愿,过几天再去接你。」

And so in one fell swoop all my needs were met. And that was how the Falun Gong ‘organization’ worked.

就这样,我需要的一切都解决了。没有其他过程,的「组织」就是这样运作的。
