对我来说，谈论理查德·威廉和他的工作并不容易，因为我们的起点相距甚远，我们的道路以彗星般的方式交叉。他毕生的事业超出了我的范围。我从未见过最初塑造了他的思想，后来又继续吸引他的中国，我也不熟悉中国的语言，中国东方的生动表达。我确实是一个陌生人，置身于威廉作为其专业大师所从事的知识和经验的广阔领域之外。他作为一个汉学家，我作为一个医生，如果我们仍然是专家，可能永远不会接触。但我们是在一个超越学术界限的人文领域相遇的。我们的接触点就在那里;在那里，火花跳跃着，点燃了一盏灯，对我来说，这将成为我生命中最重要的事件之一。正因为如此，我也许可以谈论威廉和他的作品，怀着感激的敬意思考这一思想，它在东西方之间架起了一座桥梁，给了西方几千年历史的文化的宝贵遗产，一种可能注定永远消失的文化。
It is no easy task for me to speak of Richard Wilhelm and his work, because, starting very far away from one another, our paths crossed in cometlike fashion. His life-work has a range that lies outside my compass. I have never seen the China that first moulded his thought and later continued to engross him, nor am I familiar with its language, the living expression of the Chinese East. I stand indeed as a stranger outside that vast realm of knowledge and experience in which Wilhelm worked as a master of his profession. He as a sinologist and I as a doctor would probably never have come into contact had we remained specialists. But we met in a field of humanity which begins beyond the academic boundary posts. There lay our point of contact; there the spark leapt across and kindled a light that was to become for me one of the most significant events of my life. Because of this I may perhaps speak of Wilhelm and his work, thinking with grateful respect of this mind which created a bridge between East and West and gave to the Occident the precious heritage of a culture thousands of years old, a culture perhaps destined to disappear forever.
