Section 44 recalled the process of the separation of our family: On Aug. 18 2002, Liangliang Song went to America to pursue a doctorate degree; On Jan 1, 2003 Liangliang Song came back to hold the wedding with Lei Meng; On June 29, 2003, Li Song flied to Australia; On Oct. 26, Li Xu also went there, as a result, our family began to live separately in east and west, south and north hemispheres. Time flying one year after another, we had been to Melbourne twice to look after Peter Song, our grandson. On May 18, 2011, the daughter of Liangliang and Lei was born, we flied there. Li Song, Li Xu, Liangliang Song and Lei Meng brought their kids to seen us once in a while. On Jan. 1 of 2003, when Liangliang Song and Lei Meng married we took a photo of the whole family and we were wondering when we could take another family portrait.
The chance came that they decided to use Christmas holidays to come to us in order that Peter Song and Angie Song got to know each other.
On Dec. 23, Li Song, Li Xu and Peter Song came to our arranged restaurant from the Guanyin Airport of Xuzhou, present were Li Xu’s family, some classmates of Li Song. All discovered that Peter had grown much taller.
On Dec. 28, Liangliang Song, Lei Meng and Angie Song came to our Fenghuayuan home from Xuzhou East Railway station. Angie Song was still too young and appeared surprised when seeing us. But soon she was friendly to Peter. The two families were wandering in the shops and visiting parks, feeling pleasant.

Angie Song was at the age when she was not willing to coordinate to take photos
Because Lei Meng had never been to Nanjing, which was a great pity. They three went to Nanjing by train with high-speed, touring the famous scenic spots there. On Jan. 4, 2015, Li Song, Li Xu and Peter Song accompanied LiangLiang Song, Lei Meng and Angie Song to Xi’an.

On Jan 8 morning, Li Song’s three returned to Xuzou and on the tenth they left for Melbourne, and the big family were together only 8 days, among which Liang Song’s three were in Nanjing for two days. We had to ask in sigh: When can our big family get-together again in the future? Nobody knows.
