My Memoir
Preface
Xu Zhimo's poem《Farewell to Cambridge Again》 writes: "Gently I leave, just as I came gently. … Silently I walk away, just as I silently arrived. I wave my sleeve and do not take away a single cloud." There is also a saying: "Heaven has unexpected winds and clouds, and people have fortunes and misfortunes at any moment."
Many things often happen in an instant. This book, "Gently I Leave," serves as a record of various personal information and is the best notebook for organizing related data.
In facing situations where many leave no information due to unforeseen circumstances, leading to disputes among descendants over property distribution, or when family members do not understand one's intentions, resulting in inevitable chaos, "Gently I Leave" allows for a complete expression of thoughts and opinions, preparing in advance for unforeseen events.
You can start recording from any page and make modifications at any time. During the writing process, readers will surely make many discoveries and gain a deeper understanding of themselves. I hope readers can use this book easily and live without worries.
