I was told this afternoon that my granduncle passed away. I was really sad. I met him a few times throughout my life. He was a decent and generous man as well as a successful businessman who was active in Hong Kong and Taiwan. He involved in many notable charities. He was famous for starting Chuan Fu Cup for youth baseball in 1997. It has now been participated by 50 teams around Taiwan. He had spent about USD1million in past 15 years in organizing Chuan Fu Cup.
He lost his wife who had pancreas cancer five years ago. I attended the funeral and it was grand. Representatives from Hong Kong government and Ministry of Education (Taiwan) came to pay their tribute. My granduncle was in deep pain at that time because he loved his wife so much. Unfortunately, he had colon cancer after 3 years. He fought the cancer bravely and even attended the opening ceremony of Chuan Fu Cup last year. He is really a role model for everyone.
Hopefully he is now living happily with my grandaunt in heaven. Rest in peace, my granduncle, Ang Pai Ji.
I didn't have any picture of his. These pictures are taken from this website: (in chinese) http://vaderisme.pixnet.net/blog/post/25771546
