Quote of the day
A brief candle; both ends burning
An endless mile; a bus wheel turning
A friend to share the lonesome times
A handshake and a sip of wine
So say it loud and let it ring
We are all a part of everything
The future, present and the past
Fly on proud bird
You’re free at last.written en route to the funeral for his friend, Ronnie Van Zant of the band, Lynyrd Skynyrd
Another friend left. He was my dad’s teacher, mentor, someone who taught him the trades of the business. His life has been tough and cruel. Adopted son became unfilial and cheated all his money. Wife passed on earlier a few years back and he flew back to Hong Kong. Finally his hard life came to an end in a cruel way. He was murdered. Though I couldn’t find the news article about his murder but I heard that he was being hacked more than 10 times and the murderer who was his neighbour committed suicide after the murder.
Though I may not be a close friend or relative, I still felt extremely sad for him. He was 77, it’s definitely a very cruel and unfortunate tragedy that fell upon him. I don’t care what was the cause of such a cruel act but I can definitely imagine the pain and fear he went through the last moments of his life. I felt sad for my dad too. He has always wanted to visit him at Hong Kong but because we couldn’t afford the air ticket, he decided to push back the trip and before he could go visit him, this tragedy happened.
通伯伯，我们不会忘了你。请你安息吧。
