大年三十儿早上，收到一位读者的电邮。
Dear Mr. Folao,
Wishing you a healthy, joyful, and prosperous Chinese New Year!
I discovered you late, but I am very grateful for your daily posting. In fact, I like your writing very much since I found you by accident. Each daily essay should deserve my many good words; unfortunately, I have been unable to leave any mark on WeChat for the region restriction.
So, please accept below genuine compliments from me, one of your loyal readers.
Hopefully, you are happy when you read it. If possible, please post my comments on your website as a reader's feedback.
佛老英文，每日灵粮。笔耕不辍，可钦可敬。字字珠玑，篇篇精彩。十分阅读，万分回味。妙趣英文，才情文图。上通天文，下晓地理。左右古今，博学多闻。东西横贯，满腹经纶。自由理念，随心自然。逻辑素养，传播知识。人生百态，彰显美好。世事通透，依存清心。阳春白雪，下里巴人。读君一文，胜读十书。感谢有你，良师益友。新年伊始，再接再厉。
Best wishes,
Fan
这是一份意外的惊喜。
回信如下：
Dear Rebecca,
Thank you so much for the warm words and greetings - I am delighted and motivated.
Nothing makes an author happier than knowing readers take his writing seriously.
Writing has become part of my daily life, so much so that when I am too busy with work to write, I feel my day incomplete, however tight my schedule is.
I understand you cannot leave a comment on WeChat; please do let me know what you think and what you suggest, like this, via email in the future.
I appreciate your appreciation and wish you a healthy and happy lunar New Year.
Yours,
Fuolao
农历牛年最后一天，感谢所有读者的支持。
祝每个人虎年健康、平安、快乐。
