In the email version (a Word doc of unknown origin) the "Old Comrade" is identified unequivocally as Wan Li (万里) but who knows. The version I have has some differences too -- that, or you dropped some unnecessary bits from your translation. For example, the first line in my version reads 建国六十周年了，听说正忙着阅兵准备，我已经老了，腿脚不灵了，可能去不了天安门城楼了。（Your translation omits "I've heard they're already busy preparing for the review of the troops.")
