这世界上竟有如此难于下咽的东西！小时候生病一发烧，妈妈就往药材铺走一趟买一包‘柠檬精’让我‘吃得苦中苦，方为人上人’，婴孩时是捏着我的鼻子到透不过气大哭时就往口中倒，可以说是虐待小孩子也！
直到懂事之后，就乖乖坐在椅子上，瞪着面前的瓷汤匙内的粉状物浮在清水上面，总之此物是难于溶解于水中的，欲临阵退缩，但虎妈坐在旁边虎视眈眈，最后将双眼一闭，奋不顾身似的将瓷汤匙往口中倒，吞下后，残余的酸苦药粉还黏在舌头及齿间，冲都冲不下去，真是人生一大苦楚也！
过后睡了一觉，出了一身汗，醒来烧全退了，真是祖传的药方灵验。。
There was something very difficult to
swallow in this world! When I was sick with fever, Mamma would take a walk to the Chinese
Medicine shop to buy a packet of
'Lemon Essence Powder', in order
to let me experience the Chinese Proverb
'as you tasted the bitter of bitterness, you will be Exalted', when I was a
baby Mamma used to pinch my nose until unable to breathe and cried out loud, then she would
pour the terrible thing into my mouth, can be said it was a child abused!
Until I grew a bit older, I would sit on the chair obediently, staring at the powder floating in the water in porcelain spoon, after all this powder was difficult to dissolve in water, I wanted to sneak away, but the tiger Mom was crouching there beside me, finally I closed my eyes, picked up the porcelain spoon and poured the bitter thing down into my throat, after swallowing, the bitter and sour residual powder still stuck in between the tongue and teeth, life is really too bitter for me!
After a good rest, the whole body was sweaty, the fever had gone. The ‘Lemon Essence Powder’ was really an efficacious ancestral prescription. .
