To my family, friends, and enemies:

Hello, I am Li Ao, I am 83 years old this year. At the beginning of the year, I was diagnosed with a brain tumor and have just completed radiotherapy. Now I have to take six steroid pills a day, so my body has become like a battlefield. Recently, I was hospitalized for a second acute pneumonia infection. I am in pain, as if hell is not far away from me.

In my life, I have scolded many people and hurt many people; I have countless enemies and few friends. The doctor told me: You can live for up to three years. If you want to do anything, hurry up!

I just thought that in this last period of time, in addition to the goal of adding 41-85 volumes to "The Complete Works of Li Ao", I just want to see my family, friends, and enemies again to say goodbye. You can understand it as This is the last meeting in our lives, " Goodbye Li Ao" and we will never see each other again after that.

Because this is the last meeting, I hope this meeting is sincere and frank. Not only how we met and understood each other, but also how we loved and killed each other.

To the guests, I will tell the truth to you; I also want you to tell the truth to me. The speaker is not guilty and the listener is warned.

Maybe we had a lot of cruel struggles before, but maybe we also had a lot of good memories before; I hope that through this meeting, we will have no regrets. No regrets, this is my promise to you and my expectation for you.

For guests, no matter where you are, I will send you a handwritten invitation letter. Invite you to Taipei, come to my study, we can have a meal together, take a picture together, I will take you to see the cute cats, I will record our last meeting throughout the whole process, on the one hand, it will be reserved for you and me Memorial, on the other hand, it also satisfies my selfishness: I have bid farewell to the mainland media for nearly 10 years, and I want to use these videos to let everyone see me again, get to know a different me again, and witness the end of my life.
