Lee Lung San 1

Dear all,

I was very sorry to hear the sad news.

Lee Lung San was the tall slim boy who sat at the back of classroom, 3A and maybe 4A as well? May be Hark-Ka origin, he had sparkling eyes and dark skin. He lived in some remoted village, Kum Shan Village? He was quiet, I don't recall ever having conversation with him when we were in primary school. I did run into him once in the late 60's or early 70's in Tai Po Market, in the street. We exchanged short update and I knew he worked as policeman or in the related area. He was one of those who still live in Tai Po or New Territory when growing up.

Then, in the recent 10 years, he showed up in the Tai Po Villa BBQ gathering, was not so slim, talked a lot more, his occupation, his family and his pass time. I was thinking the boy outgrew his shyness and we, no longer primary schoolmates, started our casual conversation like the neighbours in the villages. He also showed up in one or two of the our schoolmates dinner gathering. He did not talk as much as the other noise-making boys, he did join the conversation.

He should have conversed well with his family on earth and would know to converse with god in peace.

Suen Pak Ping.
