《国大中文图书馆六十周年庆典》有感
〈一〉
身处象新怀念旧，
龙钟外态内心茫，
坎坷风雨回头望，
今日中华喜展扬。
〈二〉
往事如烟淡忘怀，
片柚潘墨起陈思，
翻江倒海情波动，
不觉眼濡神已痴
这个特展将开放到11月30日，欢迎大家抽空参观。
It’s saddened to hear that Mr. Guo-hua Xu passed away recently today when I went on
Great that I was introduced to this website, and read about the wonderful 60years of the celebration, and saw Mr Xu’s picture, since I could still recognize him from the picture above,
