Two years ago today

my grandfather Han Gong-xia passed away. He was much loved by everyone not because he was dapper and charismatic, not because he was supremely intelligent and erudite, nor because he impressed everyone with his fame, wealth and social status.

Yet to me, he has long stood for all that is good and decent in a human being. He was hard-working and dedicated, in everything that he did. He was a loving father, a responsble husband and a jovial, energetic and lovable Grandfather.

I am very proud of where I came from, in large part due to him. He has many qualities that to this day, I still aim to emulate, to strive for. Some time ago, I made a few pages in dedication of him and his life. I wish to share it here again.

Grandpa Han
