《我會不會太重？》／ Am I Too Heavy? 2004 (19.5" x 17.5") 48cmx43cm 膠彩／絹
小時候的我體弱多病，經常在半夜發燒，父母親總是慌亂地穿衣，焦急地輪流背著我去找醫生看病，小小的心靈，忍著身體的不適，我總不忍心父母親辛苦負重，無時不刻地輕聲問他們，我會不會太重？我會不會太重？
現在，看著兒、媳婦深夜無怨無悔地照顧著生病的孫子，讓我不禁憶起孩提時的種種。這大概就是所謂「為人父母的甜蜜負擔」吧！
Am I Too Heavy?
Looking at the mother panda carrying her young in the picture reminds me of my parents’ love. I was weak and sickly when I was young and often had high fever at midnight. My parents always took turns to carry me on their back to see a doctor. I did not want them to suffer from heavy burden and always softly asked them, “Am I too heavy?” This also reminds me of my sons’ and daughters-in laws’ love for their children. I guess this is “Parents’ Sweet Burden”!
