懷念您,秦秀珍女士

秦秀珍,原名秦嬋,廣東番禺人,秦添及郭妺之獨女。自出娘胎父母便分離,母親唯有帶着她到香港打住家工謀生。戰爭時她在船上結識前夫何熙,育有一子志滔,但前夫執意回内地定居,結果在政治鬥爭中遭殺害,她守寡唯有帶着兒子和年邁的母親再度謀生。憑着她堅毅不屈、克勤克儉的性格,加上出色的交際手腕,累積了很好的人脈關係,助她賺得第一桶金。

前夫離世十多年後,經朋友介紹認識現任丈夫李啟勳,誕下兩名女兒綺霞和綺雯。在教育方面她很有前瞻性,安排子女分別就讀最適合他們性格特質的三間名校。公職方面,曾任保良局己酉年總理夫人及快活谷獅子會創會元勲暨第七屆會長夫人,熱心公益。期間她也不忘運用精明的商業頭腦,於七十年代成功申請股票牌照,在康樂大廈金銀交易所當起當時寥寥可數的股票女經紀。執業期間結識了張英智女士(王太)。王太很欣賞她為人正直不拘小節的大性情,時常互訴心曲,成為莫逆之交。秀珍的興趣廣泛,股災後轉營玉器生意。

其後母親及丈夫相繼離世,秀珍遂往澳洲與幼女同住,期間港澳兩邊走,又到加拿大探望大女,亦到美國探望舉家移民的王太,周遊列國,逍遙自在。之後大女和兒子於加拿大成家立業,而細女和女婿則由澳洲返港定居, 他們逢星期日都在教會聚會後帶她去飲茶,間接令她對基督教再感興趣。

2000年,一位認識多年的朋友陸少芬傳道邀請她到附近的基督教中國佈道會尖沙咀迦南堂聚會及參加福音班,於2005年十月十六日受洗,決意一生跟從神,永不偏離。

2010年外孫女出世, 小寶貝成為她快樂的泉源,外孫女自懂性以來很愛錫婆婆,秀珍最喜歡聽她的朗誦,唱歌和彈豎琴。

因為特別喜歡澳洲,秀珍每年有一半時間在雪梨獨自生活。她在聖公會認識了一位教會義工Fanny Ng2012年秀珍不幸發生摔倒意外導致左眼失明,在細女的安排下在護老院復康,其間Fanny不但替她打點一切,還陪伴她去教會、行街、飲茶、食飯,令她感到份外溫暖。

經過兩年休養生息,2014年秀珍回港定居,經常在星期日和大時大節與幼女一家團聚,教會姊妹們也時常關懷她探訪她。她母親當年雇主的兒子Ram, 女兒MariaDevi仍待她如至親,住在香港的Maria時不時探望她,陪她到醫院覆診。期間王太已回流香港,亦經常探望她和帶给她喜歡的水果和老火湯。另外Fanny有空時仍會致電慰問,在每年返港探親的同時和她聚舊。

她其中一個人生的座右銘是:知識才是自己永遠的財富。年邁的她繼續活躍於教會和長者中心,不斷學習唱歌、電腦、水墨畫、英文、普通話 …… 近兩年於護老院生活,院舍姑娘讚她一直精靈和頭腦清晰。 2022年一月三十一日主懷安息,享年九十五歲。

In Loving Memory of Ms. Chunn Shou Jun

Chunn Shou Jun, formerly known as Chunn Sim, was the only daughter of Chunn Tim and Guo Mui from Panyu, Guangdong. Her parents were separated since she was born. She moved to Hong Kong together with her mother, who worked as a live-in domestic worker to earn a living. During the war, she met her ex-husband Ho Hei on a ship and had a son, Che To. However, her ex-husband decided to return to the mainland to settle down, but unfortunately got killed by the Communist. Now a widow, she took her son and mother to start anew and make a living again. With her indomitable, diligent, and thrifty personality, coupled with excellent communication skills, she accumulated good connections, which helped her earned her first pot of gold.

More than ten years after the death of her ex-husband, she was introduced by a friend to her current husband, Li Kai Fun. Together with her current husband, they had two daughters, Yee Ha and Yee Man. Shou Jun was very forward-looking in education, not only did she arranged for her children to attend the most prestigious schools, but she also ensured that they were enrolled into schools that suited their personalities. She had been enthusiastic about public welfare. In terms of public duties, she served as the wife of Po Leung Kuk year 1969 Board of Director, and the wife of the founding member and seventh president of the Lions Club of Happy Valley. She was also a lady with astute business acumen. In the 1970s, she successfully obtained her stock broking license and worked as one of the few female stockbrokers at the Connaught Building Kam Ngan Stock Exchange Ltd. During her career, she met Ms. Cheung Ying Chee (Mrs. Wong). Mrs. Wong admired her integrity, easygoing and straight forward personality. They became close friends and shared many heart-to-heart stories over the years. Shou Jun’s interests were extensive, she turned to the jade business when the stock market crashed.

After the passing of her mother and husband, Shou Jun moved to Australia with her youngest daughter. During this period, she travelled frequently to many places around the world. She traveled to Toronto, Canada to visit her eldest daughter, and the United States to visit her close friend Mrs. Wong, who immigrated with her family at that time. Subsequently, her son and eldest daughter started a family in Canada, while her youngest daughter and son-in-law returned from Australia to settle down in Hong Kong. Her youngest daughter and her husband took her to yum cha after church service every Sunday, which indirectly reignited her interest in Christianity. In year 2000, a friend of whom she had known for many years, Pastor Luk Siu Fan invited her to a nearby Evangelize China Fellowship Tsim Sha Tsui Canaan Church to attend church service and join gospel classes. Shou Jun was eventually baptized on October 16, 2005. Thereon, she was determined to dedicate to God for the rest of her life and never deviated.

In 2010, her granddaughter was born and has become her little bundle of joy. Her granddaughter was deeply fond of her grandmother, and Shou Jun always enjoyed listening to her granddaughter’s recitation, singing, and playing the Harp.

Australia always had a special place in Shou Jun’s heart, that she would spend half the year in Sydney by herself. In 2012, unfortunately Shou Jun had an accident and lost her sight in the left eye. A church volunteer, Fanny Ng, whom she met at the Anglican Church was extremely kind and generous to care for Shou Jun when she was rehabilitating in nursing home. Fanny not only took care of many things for her, but also accompanied her to church, strolled the streets, took her to yum cha and shared many meals together.

After two years of recuperation, Shou Jun returned to Hong Kong in 2014. She was reunited with her youngest daughter and her family. They had frequent gatherings on Sundays and festive days. Brothers and sisters of her church were also very caring towards her and visited her frequently. Her mother’s former employer’s son Ram, and daughters Maria and Devi still treat her like family. Maria, who lives in Hong Kong, visited her from time to time and accompanied her to the hospital for her regular check-ups. During this period, Mrs. Wong has returned to Hong Kong and often visited Shou Jun, bringing her favorite fruits and long-boiled soup. In addition, Fanny always kept in touch, calling whenever she had time to check in with Shou Jun. She would also visit Shou Jun whenever she returned to Hong Kong to visit her family.

One of her life mottos was that knowledge is eternal wealth. Even during her old age, she continued to be active in church and elderly centers. Learning never stopped for Shou Jun – singing, computers, oil painting, English, Putonghua, and so on. During the past two years living in the nursing home, she was always praised by the nurses for having a clear and sharp mind.  On January 31, 2022, she joined the Lord, to rest in peace at the age of ninety-five.
