Could you then rephrase what the statement in question by Mr. Hsiung could be as to a statement that would be, in your opinion, {right, normal. or proper}? If you could, then I could have the opportunity to make the comparison of the one Mr. Hsiung wrote and your phrasing and then make my own determination as to what is {right, normal or proper}.

To offer clarification, we could look at the request from me in the above as the following:
[...I am unsure as to what you wanting to mean by what could be right normal or proper...].
I am unsure because the dictionary does give more than one connotation and usage for, let's use {normal}.
There are more than one usage for {normal}, for instance;
A.Characterized by average intelligence
B. free from mental disorder
C. conforming to a standard (then what is the standard?).
