《厦门，谢谢你，我爱你》
作者：David（厦门沙坡尾“胖胖啤酒马”店主）
我亲爱的厦门，我想告诉你，你对我来说有多重要！
2011年我们第一次相遇。和所有第一次和你相遇的人一样，我被你的异国风情，你的友好，当然还有你做的美味所征服！
我们在一起度过了一段美妙的时光，在沙滩上翩翩起舞，在月光下徜徉水中，不停的遇见新朋友。我希望我们之间的关系不仅仅是一场旅途中的艳遇，更主要的原因却是因为和你在一起，我体验到了从未有过的感受。像我这样一个总是焦躁不安的年轻人，你让我感受到了安定。
一开始，我以为这份全新的安定感，是因为我理解不了的你的语言和文字；可当我懂得越来越多之后，那份安定感并没有离开我。
我从你那所得到的这份安定是一股内在的力量，一份确实存在的东西。这种安定，让我邂逅了最美丽的女子；这种安定，让我们开了一家卓越的啤酒公司。
更让我感激的是，这种安定让我成立了一个家庭，有了三只“小白鹭”（三个孩子）。你让我们确信，他们可以伴着你安全健康的长大。你让我们相信，有一天他们终将可以展开翅膀，飞向世界，却依然不会忘了他们的家乡在一个叫厦门的美丽地方。
感谢你让这样的人生成为了可能。感谢你能成为我们的家。我爱你。
My Beloved Xiamen，
I would like to take a short while to tell you what you mean to me！
We first dated in 2011。 Like everybody who met you for the first time I was overwhelmed by your exotic beauty， your kindness and of cause your cooking skills！ We had a great time together， dancing on beach， swimming at night and meeting new friends。 But this are not the reasons why I wanted our relationship to be more than just a vacation flirt。 With you i felt something i never felt before。 Being a restless， searching and staggering young man， you made me feel calm。
At first i thought the reason for my new calmness must be the fact that i didn‘t understand a word you said and couldn’t read the signs you showed me。 But the calmness stayed after i learned more and more and so did I。 This calmness i found with you is like an inner strength， a certitude。 You gave me the calmness to meet the most wonderful woman， you gave us the calmness to start an extraordinary beer company。 But i am most grateful for the calmness you gave us the to found a family， to give birth to 3 little white egrets。 You give us the certitude that they will be safe and healthy and have the chance to grow up together with you。 You give us the believe that they one day can spread their wings and fly out into the world， being certain that their home is this most wonderful place called Xiamen。
Thank you for making this live possible。 Thank you for being our home！ I love you。
