1989年1月20日下午,上海市人民政府外事办公室会见厅举行了一个隆重的授奖仪式。当中国福利会美籍顾问耿丽淑从上海市副市长顾传训手中接过古铜色“白玉兰纪念奖”奖章及证书时,这位满头银发、端庄而美丽的老人深情地说了一声:“谢谢。” On the afternoon of January 20, 1989, a solemn awarding ceremony was held in the meeting hall of the Foreign Affairs Office of the Shanghai Municipal People’s Government. When the Chinese adviser to the Welfare Association, Geng Lishu, took the Bronze “Magnolia Memorial Award ” medal and certificate from the vice mayor of Shanghai, the elder with a silvery, dignified and beautiful voice said affectionately: “Thank you.”
