今日大家聚在一起為悼念陳中偉先生，我的丈夫。我𧫴代表我一家人對你們各位親朋好友到來表示最最衷心的謝意！陳中偉是死於肝癌，但是十分幸運他沒有太多痛楚，在北約克全科醫院急救時注射嗎啡針劑，沒有叫過痛，而且人很清醒明白知道我們一家人一直在他身邊，直至他最後一口氣安詳辭世，穩約看到他的嘴角含笑。

陳中偉先生是一位生意人，與中國大陸打交道數十載。有幸遇上中國改革開放政策和扶貧攻堅戰略。1979年底我們被當時新華社邀請與一班香港商人到中國大陸訪問了解國情。遊歷過後才知道中國政府開放政策，嘗試引入外國企業的技術和投資模式。我們參與幫手聯絡外國企業介紹與國內生產單位，如是者大約10多20年後中國內地已經有能力有本事培養一大批人才獨力承擔各種業務項目，在多個領域方面取得突破性發展，非常成功。

上世紀80年代初陳先生亦有跟隨前輩學習參與五邑大學籌建工程，以備造就五邑子弟入讀大學機會，進而提升全個五邑地區的教育品質和水平，增強優勢創造更多經濟效益前景。經過時間洗禮五邑大學現已成為一所略有名氣的全面學校。陳先生亦見証五邑大學的成長和發展，受聘出任校董會副主席一職。

香港回歸前我們一班朋友就是想為國家做點事，成立中國星火基金會專為四川、重慶、貴州江西等地為全國19個省市自治區開展助學活動，協助發展經濟及改善福利設施等達160多個項目，包括捐建140所中小學，資助4000多名學生上學。及後再在五邑地區亦有捐資興建教學樓、鋼琴室、圖書館，宿舍樓及資助近200個貧困學生。最慶幸是看到每個學生都事業有成，為社會有用之材。

在香港他亦參與多個商會社團並且出任理事長一職，恭耕自律。更設立商會慈善基金會以防止貪污舞弊，深得同寅表揚。亦在商會屬校提倡愛國教育好讓學生認同自己身份，深得教育局稱讚。

陳中偉先生是一個開朗樂觀，和善可親的人。就算在他兩次身染頑疾也從未有怨天尤人只是積極求醫。更對我們說有病就要醫，醫到無法子才再自救，自救不成唯有認輸走人。

這些日子我收到很多朋友傳來悼文都是稱讚陳中偉仁愛厚道、慈善為懷，嘉為不斷，造福無數，廣施善舉，令譽永留。我們一家人當引以為傲，傳承先生精神，積極人生！



Today, we gather to commemorate Mr. Chan Chung-Wai, my husband. On behalf of my family, I extend our deepest gratitude to all friends and relatives who have come. Mr. Chan Chung-Wai passed away from liver cancer, but fortunately, he did not suffer much. He received morphine injections at North York General Hospital during emergency treatment, and he did not cry out in pain. He was very clear-minded and knew that our family was by his side until his last breath, passing away peacefully with a smile on his lips.

Mr. Chan Chung-Wai was a businessman who had dealings with mainland China for decades. He was fortunate to encounter China’s reform and opening-up policy and the poverty alleviation strategy. At the end of 1979, we were invited by Xinhua News Agency along with a group of Hong Kong businessmen to visit mainland China and understand the national situation. After the trip, we learned about the Chinese government’s open policy and its attempt to introduce foreign enterprises’ technology and investment models. We helped connect foreign enterprises with domestic production units. About 10 to 20 years later, mainland China had developed the capability to independently undertake various business projects, achieving breakthrough developments in multiple fields.

In the early 1980s, Mr. Chan also followed his predecessors in participating in the construction of Wuyi University, aiming to provide educational opportunities for the children of Wuyi and improve the overall quality and level of education in the region, thereby enhancing its advantages and creating more economic benefits. Over time, Wuyi University has become a well-known comprehensive school. Mr. Chan witnessed the growth and development of Wuyi University and served as the vice-chairman of its board of directors.

Before Hong Kong’s return to China, a group of us friends wanted to contribute to the country, so we established the China Spark Foundation to carry out educational assistance activities in 19 provinces, cities, and autonomous regions, including Sichuan, Chongqing, Guizhou, and Jiangxi. We assisted in economic development and improved welfare facilities, completing over 160 projects, including the construction of 140 primary and secondary schools and sponsoring over 4,000 students. Later, in the Wuyi region, we also funded the construction of teaching buildings, piano rooms, libraries, dormitory buildings, and sponsored nearly 200 impoverished students. The most gratifying thing is seeing each student succeed in their careers and become useful members of society.

In Hong Kong, he also participated in multiple business associations and served as the president, working diligently and self-disciplinarily. He established a business association charity foundation to prevent corruption and fraud, earning praise from his peers. He also promoted patriotic education in the association’s schools to help students recognize their identity, receiving commendation from the Education Bureau.

Mr. Chan Chung-Wai was an optimistic, cheerful, and kind person. Even when he was seriously ill twice, he never complained but actively sought medical treatment. He told us that if you are sick, you should seek treatment, and if there is no way to treat it, then try to save yourself. If self-rescue fails, then accept it and leave.

These days, I have received many condolences from friends, all praising Mr. Chan Chung-Wai for his kindness, charity, and continuous good deeds, benefiting countless people and leaving a lasting reputation. Our family is proud of him and will carry on his spirit, living life positively!
