I have some regret that I could have closer communications and deeper understanding of Chiu Sir only in the last stage of his life. I believe that God arranged such new relationship, as Christian brothers, for good purposes.
After paying him an initial visit with Jim, I went to Clearwater Bay for a few times, with a number of Christian brothers and sisters (including Hannah, my wife) to see him and Wai Sum. I can remember clearly how we prayed, sang Christian songs and expressed our feelings together. Some unforgettable scenes still regularly emerge-
After renewing his relationship with God, Chiu Sir asked Ka Yan (his daughter, a Christian) to bring him to the church where he was baptised and an old Bible with his handwritten remarks. Once, he and Wai Sum visited our church and prayed with our pastor also.
Similar to other parts of his life, Chiu Sir's Christian journey was not smooth. Actually he had been baptised as a Christian long before he worked for DEA. He had for a number of years served as the right hand man of a pastor (Pastor Li) who managed the Christian Council. He respected that pastor and nearly embarked on a religious career. A reason for having little church life after baptism, he explained, was that Sundays clashed with his work for young people. Despite that, he still manifested Chrisitian behaviour such as acting as salt and light (Luke 11:36) in the dark world, and loving his neighbours. I am glad that God welcomed him back at the end, similar to the Prodigal Son experiences covered in the Bible (Luke 15:11-32) . God's grace is indeed amazing!
I also had the opportunity of understanding other parts of his private life and thoughts through a few sharing occasions. He shared with me :
