In 1895 Taiwan had been ceded “in perpetuity” to Japan by decaying imperial China, in an effort to placate Japanese expansionism. Mr Peng’s father, the fourth generation of the family on the island, was a successful doctor and set great store by academic success.

「我想起幾年前，一位事業卓然有成的校友返校時對我說：
「校長，我非常感激您當年給我的畢業贈言。」
「什麼贈言？」我問他。
「校長，那年我上台領畢業證書，我問您有何忠告。您看著我說，Keep going，繼續往前走。我畢業後，進入社會工作，碰到不如意的事，腦子一定想起您鼓勵的話，Keep going。這是我終身受用不盡的勵志格言。」他告訴我。
校長接著說，他仔細回想，依稀記得有那麼一年畢業典禮，有位學生走到他跟前，靠近他耳旁說話，眼看著台下畢業生還排長龍，等著他頒發畢業證書，馬上對這學生說了一句話，Keep going……
Paul Gray校長極短的演說，有著林語堂式迷你裙迷人的幽默，真是讓人想忘也難。」（杜杜【畢業贈言 】聯合報╱2007.07.03）
