Memoir回憶錄

Him, You and Me衪你我

Rev. Dr. David Tsang曾大衛博士牧師

His spiritual memoir: a preface, thirty chapters and an afterword, tracing family faith, his calling and life in ministry. In the afterword, he explains why he changed the title from “Me, You and Him” to “Him, You and Me,” placing God first.

他的屬靈回憶錄:序言、三十章及後語,記述家族信仰、蒙召與事奉人生。他在後語解釋,為何把書名由「我你衪」改為「衪你我」,把神放在前面。

The author explicitly says that he omitted the journey to Hong Kong and the anecdotes of his theological studies there. Those stories are part of the family’s account elsewhere on this website; they are not chapters in this memoir.

作者明言沒有把到香港的經歷,以及在香港讀神學時的軼事寫入本書。這些故事另見本網站的家人生平記述,並非回憶錄中的篇章。

「我不是牡丹而是梅花.」
“I am not a peony, but a plum blossom.” Afterword.
Source and editions原稿與版本

The complete Chinese manuscript is preserved in the family archive. The English translation has been independently compared with the full source. The author’s own English adaptations of the closing poem are kept distinct from the close translation of his Chinese lines.

From the afterword後語選段

心 無 偽 主 勞
片 卻 不 休 碌
一 退 雖 楓 甘
紅 職 是 之 作
秋 深 鎖 林 牛

Even though I have left my position,and yet I am not retired.
My life is like the forest of maple trees locked into the autumn.
Glowing with an autumn tint, my heart remains truly to God.
I am willing to labour for the Lord like a cow.
His own English adaptations, preserved in the manuscript.
