I need your input to make a decision. I am going to Beijing in 10 days and I am debating if I should visit one family of relatives there. The story goes back to 30 years ago in 1984. My family had always been in rural Jiangsu and at near the bottom of society. But a few times my father told me that he had an older sister in Beijing whose husband was a vice minister level official. After I enrolled in a graduate school in Beijing in 1984, I finally got the chance to visit them. My aunt was very kind to me. Twice or three times she sent her youngest son, in his late 20s that time, to my dorm with home cooked food. I was very moved especially when my cousin showed up in one very cold Beijing night. Now my father and my aunt had long passed away. My cousin is also in his very early 60s. We did not keep any kind of touch since I left Beijing in 1986. But I remain very grateful. Should I use this opportunity to visit my cousin and to thank him for his kindness? My worry is that he may have long forgot about me and may have no interest in seeing me again. Your thoughts will be the deciding factors in my decision making. Thanks. |

Please don't let hong-er-dai look you down when you meet your cousin.
昨夜雨: Go for it, even if you don't speak Chinese anymore. It is still better than nothing. :)
星光: 我也觉得该去。不去你心里会过不去这个坎的。
他也到这个岁数了，应当很怀旧。
你去了，他会很高兴的。
原来你是84到86年在北京，我们正好错过。

Is my Chinese good enough?

说中文，多忆旧，少提钱
AprilFool: 同意炉师傅。
再加上一点：记着告诉他们你还记得当年他们对你的关心，尤其是表兄在那个寒冷的夜晚给你送去好吃的这件事情。要对他们表达自己的感动和感谢。
对 ...
炉匠: 要去。订个饭馆请他们一家好好吃一顿。问问他们有没有什么要帮的。你这次去关系到下一代是否还有联系的问题。 ...
