私人角落－苦楝樹
盧劍雄五十年前在母校校園種了一棵苦楝樹。人的年華老去，當年的小樹苗卻已長成參天大樹，不但見證了盧劍雄生命中的起起落落，亦把祝福延續給後人。Please click here to view.
David Tse Kwok-Shuen (67), an IT expert who happily retires in Sydney, was visiting in the New Year. Since graduation, he took up Taoist Kung Fu and Chi Gung and has been practicing this martial art all these years. Relaxing in his chair at least 5 ft away from the table, he pointed his right index finger at a standing bi-fold paper menu for two seconds or so. Nothing happened. Then, after 2 seconds, the bi-fold paper fell on its back! The demonstration was performed twice, both successfully. David’s recent interest is in Kendo (日本劍道).
With a bank note, he broke a chopstick into pieces. Click the image to view the album. To view the video demonstrations, please click (1) and (2).
[It has been known that some wahyanites are great Kung Fu masters. We would be pleased to have updates of their interests.]
Alex Chiu enjoyed the dim-sum he had missed for years in Washington, DC. On the next day, July 5, he was at dinner with David Tse who had just arrived from Sydney via Hong Kong in late afternoon. Both have been practising Kung Fu since their Wah Yan days. Alex was the founder of the Karate Club at school. From Karate he went on to obtain a tae kwon do black belt. More recently, he has returned to Tai Chi, an art he started at the age of nine. He enjoys Tai Chi sword play and David, Kendo (日本劍道).
However, they were no match to Ron Tse when three of them were active members of the Fencing Club because Ron was standing much taller!.
At dinner, David entertained the group with another Qi Gong performance. With a bank note, he broke a chopstick into pieces. Click the image to view the album. To view the video demonstrations, please click (1) and (2).

兄弟同袍大聲公
五十年間認影踪
一花一葉一世界
三生來去在其中
[又是春末的五六月，曾記否那些年在衛理道邊球場旁，綠蔭樹下蟬鳴聲中我們都是白衣少年，高聲爭論人生意義和金錢功能。有沒有結論？應該是乳臭未乾吧，哈。]
Oh yesterday I was standing by the lawn, staring at the flowers
When a spring breeze began to flutter around my cheeks
At that point I remembered Fung Lai Wo
This evening I put together several lines
謔笑諧談氣如鐘
和煦春深風拂鬢
戇騃三郎念聲公
[三郎，啟亮筆名也]
我是F.1 入華仁的，由中文小學轉到英文中學頭幾個月都是和字典打交道。同學們有不同的背景，有一些給人印象特別深刻的如外號“大聲公”的馮禮和。明顯他的性格不是內斂那種。用今天的術語就是“有事大聲說出來”。在課堂上有時會提出和老師不同或相反的意見。記憶中在何鎮源和劉繼業老師的班上比較多。
他是典型好學生，記得F.3一次到長洲旅行，在渡輪上他拿出一本書來看，我瞄一下原來是“詩經”讀本。並同我說其中一篇“碩鼠”，對那時的我是太“古“了。又有一天他帶了一個大箱子來學校，原來是個古琴。他正在跟師父在課外學琴。可知他的國文根底不錯。那時在大會堂有陳湛銓的國學講座我知道他也常去聽的。
Mike Fung Lai-Wo has passed away on November 14, 2015 in Shanghai due to liver cancer. He passed away less than two weeks after the initial diagnosis due to sudden tumour rupture and bleeding. May he rest in peace!
An article on John Loo ('67) appears in January 2, 2016 issue of the 明報周刊. He wants it posted so that we can know him more. Please click any photo to read the whole article.
The tree is on Wylie Road, inside "Wah Yan College Kowloon". You can search Google Map for a satellite shot of the vicinity. Then when you find "Wah Yan College Kowloon"you will be able to see a swimming pool. This tree is near the swimmin
g pool but it grows stretching out of the school. Turn to Google Map street-view now, and you can move along Wylie Road and see that the tree has a singular grandeur, dwarfing all the passers-by or the passing cars.
John is in orange tee shirt in the colour photo. The black and white photo shows John active in the CLC back in school days.
