(7) Farewell to Professor L. K. HUA (華羅庚  ): Inspired by Li Shangyin of Tang Dynasty (Poynton, Cheshire, UK, 14th December 1979) 

話別華羅庚教授

話別英倫國事聲

三年繼語北京城

天涯異地靈犀在

莫道彈棋局不平

  

Amid discourse of international affairs, goodbye we say.

Continuing in Beijing in three years is the plan we lay.

As long as there is quantum entanglement,

One need not worry about physical non-entanglement. 

Reply by Professor L. K. HUA (華羅庚) in Birmingham, UK,on 15thDecember 1979 

   

      相見何遲別何速

      何日西窗再剪燭

      相交豈因杯酒歡

      實因君才我佩服

      百尺竿頭正當年

      萬里前程已可矚

      珍重珍重再珍重

      同心協力為華族              

Hua’s reply

Belated meeting,

Hasty departing!

When shall I see you again?

For a drink?

No,

Your talent is my gain!

In your prime,

Bright future in no time!

All the best,

My dear friend.

Together,

For China, let’s do our best!
