To my uncle

Dear all friends of mine;

.

In the morning of 9 June 2012, it was an unexpected and painful morning to each member in my uncle’s family. That day reported a count of news that a man died in his bicycle trip in Ma On Shan, the man was my uncle!

My uncle, CHAN WING HUNG, who was a sincere, responsible and industrious man, aged 52 with many things he did in his entire life, and so many we have known and could see ahead of his age (He was born in August 1960, and died in June 2012)………Although we can never get him back, we can try to imagine that no other family has to endure this kind of pain and loss.

.

As far as I could understand, born, growing up and death are something natural which fall on everyone sooner or later--- born and growing up just as the sunshine after every shower or like bud that slowly blooms into lovely flowers. Also death is just as natural to be born and, perhaps, to a new-born baby. It is simply to say that born, growing up and death are the laws in nature.

.

What makes death so terrible? Is it “Men fear death as children fear to go in the dark”? In fact, human being living on land cannot fathom what God has done from beginning to end…… said in Bible. I know that there is nothing better for a man than to be happy and do good while he lives. My uncle who had endeavored to do many and tried to build a high quality of life for his family before he left them, at least I know this! I believe that my uncle had found satisfaction in all his toil.

.

Physical death is not as terrible as most people think. It is just a journey in which no traveler comes back to tell you what is all about!

There’s a time for everything, and a season for every activity under heaven;

.

A time to be born and a time to die; (生有時, 死有時;)

A time to plant and a time to uproot; (栽種有時,拔出所栽種的也有時;)

A time to weep and a time to laugh; (哭有時, 笑有時;)

A time to search and a time to give up; (尋找有時, 失落也有時;)

A time to love and a time to hate; (喜愛有時, 恨怨有時;)
