For the correctness of the record though (we might talk about this event long enough in the future), I have to point out that the time was on Feb. 10, 2001.It is amazing nobody noticed that typo in Yiwu's email which could cause a lot of argument later when we become old and don't have as good memory as we did in the past (or now) and simply just look at our old emails. I really appreciate the effort of event team, namely Yiwu, Wang Tao and Zhang Yong. Yiwu got us a good place to stay during the event, Wang Tao ordered us nice food to eat (and of course drink from Jielou), Zhang Yong acted as our mostly dedicated driver, both to the Dam and to the airport (even to the casinos). There are really a lot of emotional moments in the party, and I can feel the sincereness from lots of you. One thing I feel a little bit ashamed of myself the night after the party when I were on bed, is that I realized I didn't talk much about myself during the introduction. It's too brief compared to a lot of you did, and I should talk more since we don't have that many occasions. Even if I am not as good in talk as Xu Fan, even because I am the last one to talk and some of you might be a little bit too tired or too excited to listen and maybe influence of alcohol started to take it course, I should still give it a try instead of mainly letting it go. I wasn't a good fighter, and I am still not a good one, I often put on too many burden to fight, that's what I am ashamed of myself. In the reunion, I realized a lot of you have changed, changed to adapted to the new world, and I am really glad for you because that's also what I am trying to do. I am very proud of the achievement that all of you have made in the past ten years, which inspired me a lot and definitely will push me to a higher level of self standard. I sincerely hope the above words didn't bore you. I am looking forward to the next reunion as some of you already indicated in previous emails, and promise I will do much better at the time. Xiong
