Governor grieves at loss of lives in hill fire
The Governor, the Rt Hon Christopher Patten, today (Tuesday) opened the Spring Breeze Pavilion, built at the Pat Sin Leng Country Park as a memorial to the two teachers and three students who died in a hill fire last month.
Speaking at the ceremony, the Governor said that one must remember the light that the teachers, Miss Wong Sau-mei and Mr Chau Chi-chai, and the students showed in their lives, apart from grieving at their loss.
"In the midst of fear, Wong Sau-mei and Chau Chi-chai put care for the children before care for themselves; children helped their friends; others put their own lives in peril to bring aid : love cast out fear.
"We should remember those who worked tirelessly to save the injured and who are still doing so. We should remember all those who are still working with love to comfort and relieve all who have been hurt in body, in mind or in spirit by the fire." he said.
The Governor also reminded people of the need of assurance of continuing care and respect for the feelings of the parents, the family and the friends of those who had died.
"They have a need for our love and we have a need to give love, for it is only by love that we live and only the love we have for others that lives after us." he added.
