Abstract

Rare are genuine friendships. Although the relationship between Hsu Tse-mou (1897-1931) and John C.H. Wu (1899-1986), the author's father, lasted no more than a decade and a half from the time they were teenagers until Hsu's tragic death by air crash in November, 1931, theirs was, nonetheless, as the younger Wu later said, a ”most delicious” one. It was a friendship which Wu felt was between two men very much different in nature, one-Hsu-who delighted ”in motion and activity”, while the other-Wu-who loved ”rest and repose”. Because of Hsu's fateful demise, one can only conjecture as to how the friendship might have gone had it been allowed to grow and reach fruition.
