The article said: " Mr. Rocha Vieira has lived 8 years in Macao since 1991. When we ask Mr.Rocha Vieira what is deepest impression for Macao, Mr.Rocha Vieira repeatedly emphasize 'this is a very having feature place'...... When the interview is about to end, Mr.Rocha Vieira seems to recall what, he is especially renewal: ' Macao is a very extraordinary region. I have been to many place in the world, some place have been faded from my memory, but Macao gives me a very distinctive feeling.'......When I back my office, I carefulness read his one section word that is he write down for 'The world knowledge"magazine':" I can't help deep missing for Macao in the transitive period is about to finish " . I read between the lines his troth and complex emotion, also read historic necessity, times advance and a melancholy as a personal, perhaps, this just is a 'feeling of the setting sun' as the saying goes."

After read this article, I bethink that reply of Rocha Vieira and his office. I conjecture from a series behavior with his autograph, reply letter, enclosed the book, he sure have a deep feeling for Macao. The time of his autograph reply is fifth mouth after I sent the postcard, the time only has 3 months for he leaves Macao, perhaps this is not accidental. According my experience, if without reply in 1-2 months for my postcard, most will be shelved or end up with nothing definite. But he still learn by heart this small matter and finally autograph with discretion, even if it is not deep consideration, more or less it reflected that "feeling of the setting sun" with "I can't help deep missing for Macao" yet.

Below is some photos about Rocha Vieira selected from that "Macao brief introduction" book, Maybe it could made us have more understand for this " last Governor".

General Rocha Vieira, wish you will change the " love of the setting sun for Macao" into more ardor, describe a brilliant rainbow for a new picture scroll of friendly cooperation between China and Portugal in the 21st century.
