XU Xian Yuan (Shanghainese, Retired Veteran Cadre)
I came back to China before the liberation to contribute myself to China's aviation construction.  I was wronged when the Communist Party was denouncing Hu Feng and later, I was sent to Qinghai for reformation.  I came back to Shanghai after my retirement and spend my late life singing and playing harmonica.  When I had a good health a few years ago, I went to Fuxing Park every day to take charge of the English Corner there and teach people sing songs.  My dream is to spread abroad the over 100 Chinese folk songs I've translated.  I don't have pains because I have an optimistic attitude towards life.
