- Created: 14 October 2021
"Eliza & I would like to thank John Fung and Andrew Tang hosting a mini-Rhapsody dinner in Toronto for us during this pandemic period. We shared some laughs and memories of previous Rhapsodies especially the ones in Montreal and Collingwood. Here are a few photos taken during this happy dinner meeting with lobster, yellow fin and eel dishes (click on the image to see more).
We look forward to future bigger Rhapsodies when the pandemic subsides.
Cheers!
Don Yau ('65)"

華鬢蒼蒼憶兒時，
仁義師承好會士；
六載同窗情可貴，
五洲散佈念更思。

James loved and adored our mom. They shared a truly amazing relationship. Our mom passed away on 17 October 2000 in Toronto Canada. To commemorate the 20th anniversary of her death, James had planned a family reunion. But his own illness and eventual death on 3 October - two weeks before mom's day of remembrance - tragically ended his plan. When I looked through my footage of James throughout the years, it is no surprise that his eulogy at mom's funeral moved me the most. There he was, the loving son remembering his mother with tenderness and intense emotions. I thought this would be a most fitting way to remember him - his love for our mom which was the foundation for his love for humanity. I think he will approve too.

《Celebration of Life》 by C.K. Chan (’65)
James’ favorite song from YK rang a resonance. Other James’ friends and colleagues have written poems and articles in regard to James. Here comes the “Last Night a Nightingale Woke Me”
For some reason, this song came up in my mind from the school days in Wah Yan. I could recall the lyrics almost completely. Do you all remember singing this song in music class? I found the lyrics on the Internet -
Last night the nightingale woke me, Last night when all was still; It sang in the golden moonlight >From out the woodland hill. I opened my window so gently, I looked on the morning dew, And oh, the bird, my darling, was singing, Singing sweet songs of you. I think of you in the daytime, I dream of you by night; I wake and wish you were here, dear, And tears are blinding my sight. I hear low whispers in the pine trees, A-floating through and through, And oh the wind, my darling, is sighing, Oh sighing for you, for you. The stream, the night, the woods a-flowing, The stars above the blue, All heaven itself, my darling, is dreaming, Dreaming and praying for you. Just dreaming of you, sweetheart!

Another one on “How I not keep thinking of him 教我如何不想他”
刘半农词 趙元任曲
and this one is more correctly sung - in “不想“，the 不should be half the time of 想。

《Toselli for James》 by Francis Choi ('65）
James and I used to sing this song together, he did it in Chinese while I had the English part. Other songs, especially "One Day When We Were Young", were mostly sung in unison.

《教我如何不想他》 ~ 鄧偉燊('65)
詩名開始時叫做《情歌》，後來改為《教我如何不想她》，由劉半農在1920於英國倫敦大學留學期間所作新詩，是中國早期廣為流傳的重要詩篇。該詩由於音韻和諧，語言流暢，1926年被著名的語言學家趙元任譜成曲，廣為傳唱。劉半農在這首詩中首創了「她」字的使用，受到廣泛的讚譽。
天上飄著些微雲，地上吹著些微風。
啊！微風吹動了我的頭髮，教我如何不想她？
月光戀愛著海洋，海洋戀愛著月光。
啊！這般蜜也似的銀夜。教我如何不想她？
水面落花慢慢流，水底魚兒慢慢遊。
啊！燕子你說些什麼話？教我如何不想她？
枯樹在冷風裡搖，野火在暮色中燒。
啊！西天還有些兒殘霞，教我如何不想她？
---------劉半農 1920.9.4

Dear Members of the WYK65 Class:
久違了, 你們好 ! I have not written directly into this forum for a very long time (other than recently in a few incidental cc's).
This evening, I am sadden to have to share with you the following sad news which I just found out a few minutes ago, about the passing of Fr. James Hurley.
Fr. Hurley never taught me in class between 1959 to 1965 - anyone of you ever taught by him during our time?
I remember I had a brief chat with him on a Saturday afternoon in the summer of Form 4/5 while we were having our regular scout meeting. I was planning with a few junior scouts about their "second class badge" 8-miles journey...... with maps laid out on a table in the hallway outside the teachers' room. He walked by, saw us, came close to say hello, dressed in his clerical white suite; looked like he just returned from outside, on his way back up to the quarters upstairs. He was very friendly, with a big smile....., none of the "seriousness" of Fr. Farren or Fr. Chan. He asked: "Who is the leader?" I raised my hand "I am...." (I was the Scout Instructor for Junior B at the time - got demoted from the Senior Troop.... because Junior B needed a "yellow broom"). He asked me a few questions about what we were doing.....; said something like "excellent activity....". That was it.
Your Class
