I don't know who left one page of Sydney Morning Herald on desk. It's page 22, page of personal notice (births, engagement, marriages, deaths). Andrew came and told me some aussies would choose always to read newspapers starting from this page's notice of deaths in the morning and feel how precious what they have is. (He usually starts from sports and I would like to go through all the headlines first.)

Hence, for the first time, I read a notice of deaths on page 22,'McDowell, Wilfrid Philip.--Peacefully on June 20, 2009, late of Gordon. Dearly beloved husband of the late Eunice McDowell, loved father of Susan, Robert and Timothy (deceased). Grandfather of Daniel, Mitchell and Natalie. Bother of Daphne (deceased) and Ronald.' Aged 83 years. Sadly missed and loved by all. Relatives and friends of WILFRID are warmly invited to attend his funeral service to be held at the graveside in Macquarie Park Cemetery. Plassey Road, North Ryde, on Wednes

迈克尔同学忽然死去，当日发放新闻的网站因为浏览量太大而几近瘫痪。火车上有许多人读毕报纸就抓起手机“喂，你知道迈克尔死了吗？”

他曾经那样红，因而连十万公里外的我也曾经听说他的诸多新闻，传闻绯闻丑闻。因为恋童癖丑闻，换肤手术，依赖药物，不免给他贴上“生活混乱”的标签，而且他还有一个私生活态度异常奔放的妹妹。

艺术家的宿命在他身上一再重现，死前穷困潦倒无人问津，死后似有哀荣无限，作品热度飙升。关于生前的种种如同倒叙结构的故事，层层展开。据说得知他去世的消息，其母立即致电媳妇，问有多少遗产。其媳妇又发表声明说两孩子都不是迈克尔的骨肉，他们数年婚姻从无肌肤之亲，所有孩子均是精子捐献者与其人工受孕而出。继而当年恋童癖事件“受害人”站出来声明，当年事件纯属子虚乌有，只因他父亲利用他找借口勒索。再而迈克尔不厌其烦对鼻子一整再整，据说是因为他爹地当年对他的鼻子极尽讽刺贬低之能事。事业上，在迈同学死前开演唱会所得报酬已非常有限，财政一直有困难。

看看，多么悲剧的人生，简直看不到何处有温暖何处有希望的破碎的人生。那么生活混乱全部得到理解。悉尼夜晚的市中心又开始飘荡着他的歌。他的心

After his whole day work, Andrew came back and cooked. We talked of Michael Jackson's death on today's newpaper. This famous rock star died of heart attack in his first yr of fifties. As a man also in his fifties, Andrew sighed' when u passed 40, u never know when they would call u back.' The possibility exists that any one could leave unexpectedly, hence arouse us to cherish what we have and use time properly. I tried to consoled him'u know, the average life time for men in Australia is 78, u still have long way to go.' It's researched that human's theoretical life span is more than 200, however, various external and internal elements lead to a much shorter current realistic lifetime.

Andrew once discribed a typical Aus funeral to me, the man died of cancer and left his young wife and son. No body cried in his funeral. Everyone talked about their memories with him and made jokes about death. In this way, they made it easier for people to accept his death as a part
