As a Chinese, I feel the pain
of losing two innocent members of our community, who loved their
country and mounted on their cars the flag of China and the symbol of
Beijing Olympic. Sadly, they can never go back to
their homeland, or listen to the news from Beijing Olympic.
As a professor, I feel the pain of
losing two young students, whose life and career potential were
just laid out in front of them. Sadly, they can never become what they
wanted to become and they will never have a chance to enjoy the
reward and excitement from their first success in career.
As a father, I feel the pain of the
victims' parents, who lost their beloved sons, and who had been
dedicatedly bringing up the children, watching them grow up, planning
their future, and perhaps dreaming of their wedding, their pretty
bride, their kids, their family ... Sadly, all left for the
parents are pieces of memory...
As a citizen of Ottawa, I am
concerned with the fact that Ottawa is threatened by crimes of
increasing frequency and magnitude. I urge the City of Ottawa and the
Police Department make their best effort bringing the killers to
justice and make their best effort returning to every citizen a peaceful
Ottawa.
Whether they are good or bad
students, whether they are rich or poor, may the two innocent souls
find peace in heaven.
