每年在这时候也都会回顾今年有做什么特别值得纪念/回忆的事情。
今年看到这个标题，想跟大家分享我的超级寻人计画。
妈妈年纪越来越大，想带妈妈出国一直被种种的借口挡掉，例如吃不习惯、脚痛不想走路
等等。因此今年又提案要带妈妈去新加坡走一走，不太需要走太多路、饮食也不会差太多
、天气好又可以讲中文。但是妈妈回答我说，她有一个朋友，30年前移民到新加坡去了，
只留下一张照片，

如果去新加坡可以跟她碰面，她才有意愿出门。于是就开始了我的寻人计画。
发挥我当业务时写过开发信的本领，写了一封文情并茂的英文信，
Dear XXX,
My sincere greetings from Taiwan and my deepest condolences to the lost of
your late Prime Minister recently. Sorry to write you for trivial matters like
this.
My mom, who's almost 60 years old and diagnosed with cancer a few years back,
luckily survives and keeps fighting that devil to date. She has come to her
sense this year that she would like to get together with some of her best
friends after several of them have passed away during the past few years.
There is one of them that my mom really wants to meet, as you can see the
picture of a lady on the attached. She was a neighbor of ours back while I was
a toddler and she was really close to our family, taking good care of us. She
immigrated to Singapore 30 years ago, left her contact information along with
this picture and a note on the back on the picture. We were literally living
in poverty back then that my mom couldn't imagine her to be able to travel
abroad. So she didn't keep that contact info where we could find it.
We lost it.
So I ask my friends from Singapore and they told me that XXX is one of the
greatest media outlets that I can consult to. And this is why I am writing you
this e-mail, hoping to get some help with your media coverage in Singapore or
probably give me guidance as to where I can go to for this kind of matters.
The only clues that I have are, her name (萧月桃) as you can see on the
picture and her husband used to work as a chef in Sheraton or Hilton 30 years
ago. That was the main reason that she immigrated there. And she's got two
sons, both are pretty tall and speak fluent English, I've heard.
Again, I appreciate your help to fulfill this simple wish from other part of
the world. If we get to contact her in the near future, I will fly to wherever
you are to say thanks for whomever that has tried to help.
Keep up with the good work,
当下搜集了许多新加坡的政府单位、报章杂志、脸书社团与当地的论坛的联络资讯，
都尝试写信或是PO文，希望能够得到一点帮忙。不过各个单位都以隐私的名义拒绝提供
协助。
后来就在今年的七月，有一家新加坡的当地报纸，表示愿意无偿的帮我写一个寻人启事。

后来该位妇女的朋友透过报纸看到他的照片与名字之后，也透过该报社与我联系上，今年
的十月，该位女士刚好回台湾省亲，就与我母亲来了一场1/3世纪后的相聚。

母亲想不到这辈子还真的能够找到她，我们也预计明年能够去新加坡探访她，并去该报社
感谢该为帮忙的记者。
趁父母在世，完成他们一些他们想要完成的事情，就是我今年做的最有意义的事了
