Univ., Nat. Sci. Ed. 2009, No. 1, 1-5 (2009).} \itemab Summary: By using the results from WZ theory, a new and relatively elementary proof is given for $\sum\limits^{rn}_{k=0}\pmatrix {pn}\\{k}\endpmatrix -\dfrac{p-r}{p-2r}\pmatrix {pn}\\{rn}\endpmatrix$ as $n\rightarrow +\infty$ where $p$ and $r$ are generic parameters being positive integers. \itemrv{~} \itemcc{} \itemut{definite hypergeometric sum; indefinite hypergeometric sum; WZ method; asymptotic estimate} \itemli{} \end
