尊敬的各位亲朋好友：
请允许我代表我的妈妈以及全家，向前来参加我爸爸追悼会的每一位，表达我们最深切的感激之情。
我上小学时，爸妈经常一起接我放学，然后带我去他们在加州大学洛杉矶分校的实验室玩耍。爸爸的实验室给我留下了特别深刻的印象，原因有两个：
首先，它紧挨着校内最棒的自助食堂，每次他都会带我去那里吃寿司和墨西哥焦糖布丁——这是我一周中最期待的时刻之一；
其次，爸爸的实验室里住着几只大型的、有些吓人的猕猴。我还记得，他最喜欢的一只猴子叫米奇，是个有点古怪的家伙。每周我都会看到米奇摆弄着几个相同的旋钮，盯着同一块老式的CRT屏幕，但我从来不明白它为什么这样做。爸爸总是耐心地用孩子能听懂的语言解释正在发生的事情，而我装作听懂了。
后来，我选择在约翰霍普金斯大学学习神经科学，或许回头来看，这是一种下意识的延续，试图解开爸爸当年在实验室里那些神秘工作背后的答案。
不过，我在大学里并不是一个好学生。爸爸知道我对学术并没有真正的兴趣，其实他一直在暗地里鼓励我成为一个有创造力的人。尽管如此，在我在科学领域尝试的过程中，他还是给予了我全力支持。爸爸一向都很忙，但他还是经常深夜给我送饭到宿舍。有一次，我的朋友发信息告诉我：“你的外卖员在外面！”我的爸爸，白天是成就斐然的神经科学家，晚上却成了女儿的外卖员。
即使我没有从学业中记住太多，但我确实理解父亲对研究和教学的热情，以及他自身对学习的热爱。他是个十足的书呆子，热爱历史、艺术和古典音乐，并把这些热情中的许多传递给了我。他最大的爱好可能是唱歌，无论我是否愿意，总能听到他在屋里放声高歌。
你们中的许多人认识的他是科学家和教育家，但我认识的他是那个每年带我去迪士尼乐园的人，是那个无论我在人生中选择做什么都始终支持我的人。在我心中，他永远是这样的爸爸。
谢谢你们来到这里，与我的家人一起缅怀并庆祝我爸爸的一生。感谢在他生病期间给予帮助的每一位——所有的朋友、家人、学生、同事、医生、护士、护理人员以及无数其他人。也感谢每一位筹备这场美丽的仪式的人。
我要特别感谢各位亲朋好友，在我爸爸生病期间，对我爸爸和我们全家的关心和帮助。
我们会永远思念您。
爸爸我爱您，您一路走好！

Esteemed friends and family:
First, please allow me to represent my mom and my entire family in expressing our deepest gratitude to everyone who came to attend my dad’s memorial.
Because I can’t express myself well in Chinese, I’ll say the rest in English.
When I was in grade school, my parents would both pick me up after school to hang out at their labs at UCLA. My dad’s lab was particularly memorable to me for a couple of reasons. First, it was right next to the best cafeteria on campus, and he’d take me to get sushi and Mexican flan – this was a big highlight of the week.
Second, the lab was inhabited by several big, intimidating rhesus macaque monkeys. I remember my dad’s favorite monkey was an odd guy named Mickey, and week after week I’d see Mickey tweaking the same few knobs and looking at the same CRT screen, but I never understood why. My dad would patiently try to explain what was going on as simply as possible to a young child, and I'd pretend to understand. I actually went on to study neuroscience at Johns Hopkins, and maybe looking back I was subconsciously trying to unpack the mystery of what he was doing in that lab the whole time.
Unfortunately, I wasn’t a great student in college. Dad knew I had no real interest in studying, and actually secretly always encouraged me to be a creative. Even still, in my ill-advised attempt at the sciences, he was fully supportive. Despite being a busy Hopkins professor, he'd often bring me food to my dorm late at night – once my friend texted me, "your delivery man's outside!" My dad, an accomplished neuroscience professor by day, his daughter's delivery guy by night.
Even if I didn't retain much of my studies, what I did come to understand and appreciate was my dad's deep passion for research and teaching, and also learning himself. He encouraged the same curiosity in me. In fact, he was a huge nerd who loved history, art and classical music, and passed many of those passions on to me. His biggest love was probably singing, and whether I wanted to or not, I would always hear him belting loudly around the house.
Many of you know him as a scientist and educator, but I knew him as the guy who took me to Disneyland every year, and would support me no matter what I chose to do in life. I’ll always see him that way.
Thank you for being here to help my family celebrate my dad's life. Thank you to everyone who helped during his illness, all the friends, family, students, colleagues, doctors, nurses, caretakers and countless others. And thank you to everyone who put this beautiful ceremony together.
I want to in particular thank all the good friends who, during my dad’s illness, gave my dad and my family much-needed help and support.
We’ll miss you.
Dad, I love you, be well on your journey.
