It was great to take you to school. Everyone was so curious and you were very delicate. You saw, it's like a family, and now you know it. I miss them, but now I feel that these two worlds somehow come together, and it makes me less sad.

真高兴能带你去学校。大家伙儿好奇极了,你是那么精致。你瞧,那儿就像家,现在你知道了。我想他们,但是我现在感觉他们就在我身边,我们不曾分离,这令我不那么难过了。

I'm sorry that sometimes I seem distant to you, I'm living in a difficult moment and you know it. I can't talk to you about what I do in the office yet, it's complicated and difficult to explain, but I feel that I've never pushed my bodily knowledge to similar levels. I feel that I can finally go beyond tradition and push acrobatic art where it has never been before. I can't explain it at school either, which makes me very disoriented. You understand that, don't you?

我真遗憾有时候我看起来离你很遥远,我现在正在紧要关头,你是知道的。我还不能告诉你我在研究室都做些什么,这事很复杂,我不知道怎么说,我只知道自己从来没这样淋漓尽致地运用过身体。我感觉我可以颠覆传统,将杂技表演带到从未有过的高度。工作的事我在学校也没法儿说,这令我感到迷茫。你懂的,是不是?
