在Penpal World 认识了一个葡萄牙的老人家，叫Mario ,很喜欢叫朋友，特别是中国的，他给我的一封信中关于他为什么爱交友的原因很打动我，所以在这里推广下，大家有兴趣就去看看他的主页吧。
邮件原文是这样的说的:
In these days, a friend of mine said to me:
Mario, I wonder why you, in your age, want to make so many friends.
Here, above 65 old, people make nothing.
I was surprised. So I feel obliged to tell you the truth.
Here it is:
50 year ago, I watched a film called -THE LITTLE EMPEROR
It was about an emperor in his youth, 13 or 14 years old, from a very far country
With exotic costumes and behaviors, living in grandiose palaces, surrounded by
servants all of them with their heads shaved.
Actually, it is normal. But at that time it was impressive.
The country was called China
The music had special effects that put us in the heights.
So, I said to myself. Mario it should be great if you were emperor in China.
But How?
I was not born in China.
Sure I could marry a Chinese lady and so propose to be an emperor.
The problem is: my carcass is already tooooo old; so that is out of question.
Which is the solution? : to get friends.
Here it is the reason.
I want to get friends, lots of them.
I am eager to get Chinese and over the whole world friends.
This is a dream of my youth.
最后一句话很打动我。
