We have had a great dinner gathering on Feb 11, 2019 in Jade Garden Monkok, with the very valuable presence of Kwok Kit Wah, Rudy and his wife coming back to HK. For some of us, this was really an exciting occasion because we haven't seen Rudy since we left TPS. It's absolutely great to find him healthy and fine. Hope he could come back more often.

Event Report in details by Ralph Lam :
We had a dinner gathering on 11 Feb 2019 in
Jade Garden Restaurant(翠園酒樓) in Mongkok.
Thirteen of us present, NN, Kakoo, Rudy+wife, Tomson+wife, Koon Tai+wife,Mona, Siu
Ling,Stephen, Kai Ming & Ralph . Rudy (郭傑華)came back
from Canada..
Rudy has lost contact with us for years.
Last year end, Joe made a contact with Rudy’s brother and found Rudy. Now we
sit together and Rudy said that he can recognize each of us. He was so kind
that he said we haven’t changed our
looking. As we began to chatter, Kai Ming
suddenly said: Wait, don’t chatter, I want to put money into your pocket. Everybody
was surprised at his speaking. Some astonished, and some smiled, thinking that
he was kidding. Then he took out some red packet Lucky Money envelopes showing
that he is serious. See this, NaiNai said if needed to give, he will give, and
no need for Kai Ming’s money. Kai Ming then had to explain what he is giving
out is something special. He said what he is going to give to each of us is a
coin of the North Sung Dynasty(北宋古錢), which is
valueless. Everyone of us thanked Kai Ming for this.
Ralph said have seen the video of Rudy’s
daughter Emily playing wrestling, and said the referee should put her hand up
earlier, then the opponent will not suffer too much when nearly cannot breathe.
Rudy said no accident has ever come up. The referee has to wait for her to
surrender. Nainai said Emily is world champion of the Brazil Wrestling. If you
google Emily Kwok, you will find her. Tomson asked if Rudy was living in Shatin
when he was in TPS. No, Rudy said he lived in 下禾輋. NaiNai
said 許玉華 & 陳火貴 lived in Shatin. They once joined back
to us like Alex Lee李國榮, but thereafter lost contact again.
Mona & Siu Ling were very surprised that Alex Lee lost contact again.
Stephen said he remembered a phrase from Rudy 50 years ago. One day they were
in the railway line, a strong wind blowed towards them, and blowed away Rudy’s
study notes and blowed out the golden words from Rudy. Rudy said, its good, now the study notes are blown,
and no need to study so much for the exam.
Rudy told us how he met his better half
many years ago in Canada, now living in Richmond in Vancouver, just having a
trip to Korea and come back to Hong Kong.In fact, this is the second time he
came back to Hong Kong, last time was in 2018. He said that Hong Kong changed a
lot, much different from when he left Hong Kong. KaKoo and NaiNai showed the
photos of our classmates in this 50 years to Rudy as well as the several
gatherings in Canada. There we have 黃國輝, 郭冠仁, 歐訓佳, 歐穎兒, 陳忠信, 張敏德. NaiNai said regret that he cannot
make contact with陳忠信. 陳忠信has showed his sympathy
on Sau Wah’s case. Several of us have tried to contact him but no response
comes back. A voice said 許華仙 is also in
medical trouble and asked if I know. Koon Tai then asked how is your brother’s
case? Which doctor is now attending Sau Wah? Thanks for everybody having
concern on people near us. Ralph said that his brother did lots of medical
checks every now and then but cannot detect the cancer. Though he worries it
is, but the cancer index is near zero and doctors told him not to worry. On Sep
2017 he talked to an old medical friend to help checking, and found the cancer
index is extremely high, stage 4 with a fierce cancer in liver, and his life
should in no case be more than 3 months. This friend referred a Doctor Chan to
him, this doctor has a mind to deal with him and my brother followed every word
& suggestion from this doctor. Chemotherapy(化療) has no effect
in his case and worsen rapidly. This Doctor Chan changed to use a treatment
called 吊針免疫治療, a treatment which needs a
criterior that the patient’s certain blood index achieving a certain suitable
level. Upon half year treatment, the
11cm cancer becomes zero. Koon Tai said this is miracle. NaiNai asked if he
takes any kind of 補品. Ralph said we know many, like 花生衣水, 五青汁、薯仔汁、my brother
said he tried all but are no use. Doctor Chan said there may have coincidence
happened during treatments, but there is no real medical evidence that these
work. My brother now will not take any of these. He is still living in this
world. NaiNai asked if he is totally recovered. Mona said you have to see the
cancer index. Ralph agreed with Mona. It may go & come again. Siu Ling
asked if any side effect with this treatment. Ralph said yes, like sore throat,
diarrhea, no appetite, but these are minor, and exercise is very important. NaiNai said better refer this
doctor to Sau Wah. Ralph said Sau Wah is now seeing this doctor, but Sau Wah is
facing more on the pains which he cannot take away with the other doctors, and
is referring to Pain Specialist recommended by Doctor Chan now, see if the 電療will relieve his pain. Mona said it is better if Sau Wah will line
up in Government Hospital treatment as long term the treatment will be very
costly in private doctors.
Stephen was wearing a special knapsack when
he came. Tomson has been asking what is its function. Before we finished our
dinner, Stephen said that was for cooling the back and massage the back
muscles. Before we go, Stephen took out a purse and dropped out an ancient coin
to let Kai Ming to see. Kai Ming immediately said this is of Ching Dynasty, but
this one is common as it is plenty. Stephen said then he will polish the北宋古錢 and put inside. Kai Ming made a smile. We ended our dinner.
