Peter sent us the follwoing poem today about a tree he planted in his backyard in Canada -
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.

Peter Li to a group of CLC friends 2 Jan 2016 - I managed to publish my collection of Chinese poetry earlier this year (楓林晚照 詩詞集). The book has 200 Chinese poems of mine, mostly Ci, written over the past 25 years....
I select two here for your interest, both to reminisce friends of old.
江城子 翻閱三十年前香港中學時代舊友贈言錄 1996.6.13
少年不識志難酬，論高謀，說春秋。當日贈言，墨跡至今留。三十年前隨浪去，昔翠貌，變秋愁。 無情舊月照西樓。譽沉浮，繭絲囚。殘雨聲聲、長夜未能休。只見飛鴻泥印爪，從此去，不回頭。
臨江仙 中秋在即懷念故人 2015.9.25
寂寞陽台秋色晚，又是楓葉鮮紅。當年歡樂暢杯中。笑聲剛遠處，相遇正情濃。 別後時光人易改，月明依舊春風。斷詞片字附歸鴻。嫦娥奔月去，銀海照芳蹤。
