簡述杜魯多的教育過程，有助我們了解他的理想和勇果，他的執着和實現主義行為。他的中學和大學教育都是精英式的。1940年以後，他歷經滿地可大學，倫敦大學，巴黎大學和哈佛大學的研究院教育，專修法律學和經濟學。然後，同樣重要，他於1948-49年的一年之中，環遊了全球大小國家，包括中國，用了八百加元。這些步行和機動腳踏車的個人遊歷，讓他體會到許多落後國家人民的困苦和無奈，成為他日後塑造公正社會（Just Society）理想的根基。他又發動地球「南北球國家」互識互助政策的運作；排除西方國家敵對而破格提早承認中華人民共和國；反對法裔加拿大人要求魁北省獨立成為宗主國家；以及夢想實現多元文化主義（multiculturalism）。

江流宿霧中 Amid lingering fogs the river meanders nigh
聖朝無棄物 Our Imperial Court abandons no one resourceful
老病已成翁 Sickness and aging have made me unable
多少殘生事 What else could be important in a life dwindling

《Mountain Rocks》Han Yu
山石犖確行徑微 The mountain path is narrow between jagged rocks craggy
黃昏到寺蝙蝠飛 Bats flutter overhead as I arrive at the temple toward eve
升堂坐階新雨足 After the stairs I sit down my feet are wet with rain
芭蕉葉大梔子肥 Broad leaf banana trees grow beside fat elecampane
僧言古壁佛畫好 A monk shows me the Buddha murals on an ancient wall
以火來照所見稀 He illuminates the art work magnificent and tall
鋪床拂席置羹飯 My bed is prepared and a meal is carefully set

這封信在我檔案裡塵封了三十多年，如今驟然見到，激起幾許歷史記憶，如果再不記錄起來，一切會隨風而逝，痕跡零落，而許多中國人走過的路，連同掙扎和奮鬥，亦可能如汗牛充棟，勞而惘意。
《Ascending Mount Yue Lu》 Cai E
蒼蒼雲樹直參天 Deep blue cloud-tall trees spear the sky
萬水千山拜眼前 Ten thousand hills and rills appear in sight
環顧中原誰是主
I survey the central plain wondering who occupies the ruling seat
從容騎馬上峰巔
Quietly and at ease I ride my steed atop the peak

How I like to honour you at the Wind and Rain Pavilion
不是愁時也欲愁
I moan for you even when it is not autumn
