Of course from time to time he recalled various KCA success stories--Round-the-Island canoe races, the Guanmen Crossing event, Three-Mountains Marathon races, etc. Memorial articles written by Kamching brothers will certainly cover these events much better than I; perhaps they would also include the two hiking experiences, in which he felt that God had helped him escape from great danger.

Wai Sum

The writing of the history of Chiu Sir would not be complete without the mentioning of Wai Sum. During all the difficult periods when he followed his vision alone, Wai Sum stayed with him closely and supported him spiritually until the very end, giving him love and comfort that he needed most. Her endurance of others' misunderstanding and suffering, and love-driven power and patience for overcoming problems, surely goes beyond what DEA, KCA and Outbound training courses can offer. I remember that morning when Chiu Sir passed away at Wales Hospital, there was calmness and peace on her face; she was confident and rejoiced that Chiu Sir had started a new life in heaven. These are all good leadership attributes and behaviour that I can learn from her.

A Man of Love

Chiu Sir is a man of love. His love for others, especially young people, was more than for his own self and family members. He told me that when he was out of work at one time, he went out to the streets to help old women to fill in forms to get assistance for them. Unfortunately, due to limitation of time and income, this sacrificing character became a source of misunderstanding, jealousy and conflicts within his own family. His love for the natural environment is also well known, especially famous mountains in China. For students who had left him, he still loved them and always welcomed them to return to work with him.
