某年探望李媽媽,臨別時贈我她珍藏多年的真正南國紅豆，還詠王維的詩给我聽.
"紅豆生南國，春來發幾枝，願君多 採擷，此物最相思" 離別依依,潸然淚下,此 情此景銘記於心. 
She will always be in my heart.

My deepest condolences . Wish her soul is in a very happy place .

They decided to settle in Taiwan. In 1963 we migrated to HK because of dad’s job and we immigrated to Canada in 1968 and as they say, the rest was history.
Why are we telling you about mom/grandma’s early life experiences, we believe it has a lot to do with her characters in later life. If we look at life from 1922 when she was born, she lived through 3 wars and 3 migrations (from HK to Taiwan, Taiwan back to HK and from HK to Canada (two more long distance moves, from Vancouver to Kansas City, USA and then to Toronto) when we finally settled down in 1971 and she was 49 years old.

I was with her my entire life and saw her live through those moving years (not those war years from 1920 - 49), she never complained about the cards that had dealt her or people mistreating her or living in poor conditions or not having enough money; which are common causes for anxiety in people. She never expressed anger or hatred for anything or anyone. She was always positive and encouraging us to look at the goodness in this world and people.

52年前，她全家移民加拿大，重創新的生活，同時也遠離了許多國內的親人，但她時刻在掛念著他們，這一事實證明了她的本性善良和性格堅強。

This short poem summarized her life's goal in a few words; her life goal was to find a peaceful place to raise her children and bring them up to be good people and she'd enjoy her later years surrounded by many grandchildren!

She spent her last many years in peace and tranquility living in a modest apartment looking over a beautiful garden, she was alone at times, but she was never lonely. She had a beautiful heart, its fulfilled life and a lot of happiness that are generated from within. She was always happy to see visiting loved ones, some from overseas, and especially Ying and Tina who would visit her every year when returning from China; and of course, Hans, Howard, Brendan and Megan who would join her for lunch or dinner. There are plenty of pictures to show how genuinely happy she was. She was healthy and without any diseases, she could walk with the aid of a walker and was quite independent. She filled her days with watching Chinese TV and was aware of current events. But her favorite past time is reading Tang era poems and when inspired she would write some shorts ones. She never shared them with anyone, I found them in her notes and shared them on the site. They are simple words but through those few words they captured the essence of her living and her guiding principles.
