According to a Facebook post from the theme park, it’s because his caretakers (người trông nom nhà cửa) have found An An to be “in poor appetite (khao khát) and out of spirits to say hi to his fans” recently. So, it’s calling for support and prayers (cầu nguyện) for the 35-year-old, who has lived the equivalent (tương đương) of 105 human years. 

I was out of spirits at the thought of leaving all my family and friends for so long a time, and the weather seemed to me inexpressibly (không thể tả nổi) gloomy. I was also troubled with palpitation (tim đập nhanh) and pain about the heart, and like many a young ignorant (cứng đầu) man, especially one with a smattering (kiến thức nông cạn) of medical knowledge, was convinced that I had heart disease.

In one of Vincent’s earliest preserved letters, when he was 19, he wrote to his younger brother: “Theo, I must again recommend that you start smoking a pipe (hút tẩu). It does you a lot of good when you’re out of spirits.” Two years later, in 1875, he described his pipe as “an old, trusty (đáng tin cậy) friend, and I imagine we’ll never part (xa cách) again”.
