懷念您，尹德玲女士

德玲 (Linda) 於1954年4月22日在香港出生，自小聰明伶俐，活潑可愛。念小學五年級的時候已經能夠背誦杜甫的詩；小學在天主教嘉諾撒女校，中學就讀聖保祿女校 (St. Paul’s Secondary School) ，隨後去了美國加州的聖母女中學 (Notre Dame High School) ，中學畢業後升讀南加州 (USC)大學主修商科學士畢業，又在Loyola Marymount University 獲頒碩士 (MBA) 學位。

德玲的童年及少年均對小一歲的弟弟德粵相親相愛，愛護有加，形影不離，又跟隨德川哥一起唱歌，吃西餐，又曾經介紹最要好的同學Grace給德勝哥作晚會的舞伴，兄妹姊弟間充滿喜樂。

德玲在美國學成後回香港，就業於香港貿發局，學以致用。其後返回家族企業大中實業有限公司，協助父兄管理公司大小事務，精明能幹；80年代公司與長江實業合作發展地產，工廠由筲箕灣遷至荃灣，三五年後再遷廠到深圳，其間協助公司乘風破浪，任勞任怨，在業務上拓展市埸，把產品趨向多元化，客戶遍佈世界各地，幾十年來與德勝哥在事業上合作無間，相輔相成，是夥伴、亦是同志。

工作忙碌之餘，德玲亦不忘服務社會，曾任香港電影檢查審核委員會成員，提出很多對影視方面的意見，甚得部門重視。

德玲與家人相處融洽，她十分孝順父母，當年對年老患病的父親、兩位母親袁母及徐母均照顧周到，她十分寵愛姪子及姪女，對青雲、樂真、重遠、振瑜及詠蕾均視如己出，亦十分關心二位嫂嫂小鳳、淑儀及弟婦麗萍，她是大家庭的小管家，也是大家的開心果，有她在便有歡樂的氣氛。

德玲的興趣十分廣泛，人生多姿多彩，她熱愛音樂、電影、歌曲，尤其喜歡古典歌劇，近年且學習擊鼓。在體育方面常打羽毛球及網球，中學時期羽毛球校際比賽也得過獎杯，得病之前還經常打網球，並結識許多球友成為好朋友。她知道怎樣發掘生活的情趣，這是令人羨慕的。德玲的朋友眾多，有中學及大學的同學，友好家庭的下一代，打球旅行而結識的，還有她好友的朋友，她對大家好，所以大家都對她好。 

德玲熱愛旅遊和朋友共享樂趣，足跡踏遍世界五大洲，她對非洲有特別的鍾愛，去了很多次，喜歡那裡的自然風光及風土人物，特別是野生動物和飛鳥，拍了許多大自然美景的照片。

德玲一向性挌堅強，有著女強人的作風，患病一年來受盡手術及治療的痛苦，她也忍受著沒有留下一滴眼淚，倒是見著哥哥弟弟的時候， 忍不住哭了。大家都對失去了這位優秀的姊妹而傷痛，近年來她已眅依我主，在循道衛理聯合教會參與崇拜，願我們對德玲女士的情懷在天父裡得到安慰 !

IN LOVING MEMORY OF LINDA YIN

Linda was born in Hong Kong on April 22, 1954. Clever and talented as she was already as a little girl, she could even recite the poems by Du Fu (a renowned Chinese poet) when she was in primary five. She studied at St Paul’s Secondary School and later was admitted into California’s Notre Dame High School. Then she attended the University of Southern California and received her bachelor degree in business. Later she got her Master degree (MBA)in Loyola Marymount University

Linda loved her siblings and she was especially close to her younger brother, Joseph. She sang with oldest brother Dominic and even introduced her best classmate Grace to accompany her elder brother Paul to a Ball. Those joyful moments are always in our memory.

Upon her return to Hong Kong from her study, she had worked for the TDC (Trade Development Council). Then she left the job and joined the Dah Chung Industrial Company Ltd, the family business. She zealously helped her father and her elder brother Paul to run the business with dedication, diligence and integrity. She and Paul were both partners and comrades.

Amidst her busy schedule in running the family business, she had the heart to serve the community. She had served as a member of the Film Censorship Board of Review  and her opinion and view were highly respected.

Linda took good care of her aged father during his illness and paid attention to meticulous details when taking care of her two mothers (Yuen and Hsu)- a very noble daughter.

She was single and she loved her nephews and nieces and cared for them just like her own. She was also very concerned about the well- being of her three sisters-in-law, namely Susie, Sophia and Amelia.

She was just like the family’s caretaker and wherever she was, joy and laughter always rang.

She had variety of interests- from music (especially classical-opera) to sports (badminton and tennis). she had been playing tennis every week until she fell sick and she had made a lot of friends in that circle. Apart from music and sports, travelling had played an important role in her life. Africa was her favorite destination. She was enchanted by the beauty of nature and the wild life: she would take many photos and shared with us her joy.

Always strong and positive as she was fighting the disease that took her life with incredible courage and strength. Of course, it was just natural that sometimes she shed tears before her beloved brothers.

We grieve over our loss yet we are comforted knowing that now she is resting in the loving arms of the Lord Jesus!

 

Paul Yin

My Dear sister, enjoy life and I ❤  you.

Leo Lee

Dear Linda, I enjoyed sharing our love of music and all the stories about your passions in traveling. You are forever missed by all of us!

Tony

Dear Linda, if there is one regret in my life, that is : I didn’t go to Maldive with you. So long my friend! See you in our Father’s home in the future.  ❤️ TaTa

Anita Wong

Linda is an amazing woman. She is kind and loving . She is fun to travel with . She is knowledgable on everything and always ready to share . Her love for Africa and nature  has inspired me a lot . Linda , I have been waiting for  another trip to Africa with you . So sad it cannot be materialized. While you are not here on earth with us , Your spirit will alway be there with us . Linda , you  are sorely missed.

Barbara Hung

「非洲痴」是Barbara 和我私下對 Linda的暱稱。由衷佩服她的，不只是她對非洲一草一木一獸一鳥的掌握和認識，她對非洲的那種 passion, 不得不令我們相信她曾說過的話：「我前世甚或多世，一定是非洲人！」

Linda遊歷之廣和深，遠高於什麼「旅遊達人」的層次；每次跟她交談，長知識之餘，也增能量。什麼能量？我想認識Linda的人，都會同意，她渾身散發著予人力量丶希望丶情趣和動力的能量。Linda的個人魅力，造就她那特立獨行既剛又柔的個人形象。

我們很慶幸交上 Linda這位朋友，跟她度過的時光，都是美好的丶充實的丶愉悅的。對她患上頑疾，我們錯愕不已；對她奮戰癌魔，我們一直希望她能創造奇蹟；對於她的離去，我們真的是萬分萬分的不捨。但到了她生命的最後時光，我們認為Linda 仍然活得很「Linda」，我們跟她病中的通訊，仍然是那麼的有趣丶多樣丶有期盼。

Linda, 您的颯爽英姿和燦爛笑容，會一直伴隨著我們。多謝您！

愛你的寶玲

Dear Linda, friend of mine, you’re a role model in my life and had excelled in everything you do. It’s been my pleasure to have your company. The laughs we shared and moments spent together, will always hold a special place in my heart. You’ll be dearly missed by many.❤️

In 2004, I started my journey as a very young enrolled nurse. And when I went back to Hong Kong from Australia from summer break, I took a summer job as a private nurse. During this time I looked after Linda’s mother. During this time Linda’s family and her maids cared for me like I was their own. Linda and I became the best of friends, until the moment she left us. Linda surprised me with recalling what we first talked about when we first met. She even remembers the outfit I wore.

Even though I haven’t been to Africa before. Linda took me on a visual trip with beautiful pictures and great story telling. It was like I visited it myself.

I’m just a little nurse, but it is my life’s honor. To be praised by Linda meant everything to me as a professional. It was a blessing to have her love and support by my side. 

Today my dear Linda left me, but not in my heart. In my heart is where she will remain until I get to meet her again in the afterlife.

Love never ends 

Love

Sandy 

Linda, 

You sure have done lots of good things….. hard to think of anything bad on you…. 有義氣，有豪氣，有用得好的脾氣

Linda was my best friend since high school in HK. Everyday after school we would start our wonderful time of snacking. Stopping at every stall on the street, we would eat anything from pieces of octopus to fish balls, 鸡疍仔，豆腐花 etc. Many times we ate up all our money and poor Linda had only 10 cents left to take the tram back to North Point, just enough for the lower deck fare. Weekends and any spare time were all fun making and eating sprees, with her beloved brother Joe in tow. Those were great times! 

We grew to know each other’s family intimately. To help out the then very single elder brother Paul, Linda and I picked a fancy dress for me to accompany him to a ball. Actress Lily Ho was there too with her then fiancee later turned husband. It was an eye opener for a 14 year old. I love her family.

High school together in California started our US education. While at college, we visited each other, Linda from USC and myself from Berkeley. Enjoying each other’s friends and company on our way to adulthood. Back to HK, without notifying each other, we bought the same car, a Honda Accord. Hers was beige and mine was white. Same taste, old habits never die.

To my two daughters, Linda was forever the jolly auntie, with a tremendous zest for life. Her great sense of humour, with her loving personality, generosity towards others, made her the darling of all parties and gatherings. In-depth knowledge and appreciation of classical, operatic music, plus her keen quest to learn new things and with diligence and determination, she mastered many different musical instruments. Her paintings, poems, sports and insatiable curiosity led her to a super colorful life of new heights and achievements. Now the renowned traveller has embarked on her next journey. Farewell Linda, my dear friend of 55 years. I’m sure we’ll meet again.

In Loving Memory of my friend Linda Yin

I first met Linda when I was 18, working as a secretary for her brother Dominic. Linda was 14, and was about to go to boarding school in USA. I assisted her with applications to Notre Dame High School, and visa interview at the American Consulate. We went on different paths of our lives, and the next time I saw her in Hong Kong, we were in our fifties. The Yins are a very close-knitted family and they have a tradition of meeting for lunch every Sunday, rain, hail or shine. I was invited to join them a couple of times when I returned to HK from Australia. LInda was always very friendly, generous and hospitable. Four years ago, she asked me to join her on a river cruise in France, together with her friend Karen and her sister-in-law Susan. It was during these two weeks we spent together that I was amazed to discover her vast knowledge in music, travelling and tennis. We had an enjoyable 14 days together. Life is too short for Linda, although she should have no regrets to have lived such a colourful life. Goodbye my friend. Rest In Peace.

給表姐的感念追悼文

今天，我懷着萬分悲傷的心情來悼念我英年早逝的表姐。

從我對表姐的記憶中，依稀記得第一次見到表姐時，是在我小學五年級（大概12歲時），那是姑父帶全家來台灣玩，也是表姐第一次踏足台灣，我們一塊兒去了阿里山遊玩！

三年前，也就是2019年，表姐再次邀約我和他們全家去阿里山遊玩，重温兒時的美好回憶。表姐為了將就我學校的假期，把出遊的日期安排在10月。可惜後來我因為治療頸椎疼痛和安排了做手術，而未能成行，這真是我今生的一大遺憾！

再說到見表姐第二次面時，我已經是23歲了，剛從學校踏入社會，由於一個機會來到了香港工作，和姑父一家人又相聚了！我最記得的就是那時表姐和小表哥叫我唱一首台語歌，叫丟丟銅。當我一面唱時，表哥表姐和他們的朋友們就一直笑，還笑到人仰馬翻，我都不明白有甚麼可以讓他們笑得那麼開心！唱這首歌有這麼好笑嗎？後來學會了說廣東話，才明白了小表哥和表姐的惡作劇。他們的惡作劇，真是讓我久久不能釋懷，令我又好氣又好笑！當然，後來表姐還有再叫我唱，我可是打死也不再唱了！如果表姐現在要我再唱一次，而我能讓表姐活過來，讓她能再一次開懷大笑，我也願意。哪怕叫我唱一千一萬次，只要能再次聽到她的笑聲和常愛做的鬼臉，我都願意！

我也要在此時此刻謝謝表姐多年來對我的照顧！你走後，我相信大家都還會像你在世時一樣，家人團結互助，時不時會在周末和節慶相聚，吃吃喝喝，說說笑笑，繼續傳承尹家的傳統習俗。也是因為表姐時不時地邀請我加入每次的聚會，讓我也享受到家庭的溫暖，讓我自小隱藏在心底的多年辛酸得到慰藉！

表姐，我們會永遠懷念妳！妳的達觀和妳的正面積極態度永遠值得我們學習和傳承！好好安息吧！妳永遠活在我們的心中！我愛妳！

Georgia Hsu

沒有高大威猛的身軀，卻有寬宏的包容忍耐恩慈；讀萬卷書又行萬里路，擁有豐富知識，卻保持謙卑平易近人。為人光明磊落，凡事態度鮮明。

最愛看妳演繹殘片的角式，總令人墮入戲中，維肖維妙，令人抱腹大笑，回味無窮。

感謝妳對我們一家四口的愛，是朋友，是波友，又是我們的貼身導遊，每次旅行都给我們帶來難忘的經歷，妳總是毫不保留，每個景點玩意總是精心的為我們度身訂造。能與妳一同旅遊，是我們畢生的榮幸，也留下精彩的印記。

Linda ，我們愛妳，永遠懷念妳。天家再重聚。

Whinney Kwan

Linda is like my big sister whom I had always looked up to.

Joan Tsang

Back in college, Linda listened to a lot of Linda Ronstadt’s songs, but then she had “ always travelled to the beat of a different drum”.

Brian

當我開始做terrarium時，你問我可不可以送你一個。我説當然可以！有你欣賞，我太榮幸了。我答應你我將親手送給你，但是由於疫情惡化，我們始終沒機會見面。於是我每天都用心地保持它的生態健康，等待著交到你手中那一刻。

結果，你決定不等了。但是我仍然會堅持繼續用愛心為你照顧它。我們之間的遺憾不只這一件事，多年來你數次約我去Maldive, 但每次都因為不同的原因我無法同行。當時我總覺得下次吧！大把機會。原來，不是這樣的 😔 不是每件事都有下次的。

我雖然沒有機會親自和你告別，但是我確信這只是暫時的分別，我們以後會在天家重聚，然後我會讓你繼續tease 我當年的糗事，因為我知道Linda 是永遠不會變的。❤️ 你！Ta Ta

Anita Wong

兒時最愛的遊戲，您是醫生，我是病人。我來看病，您替我醫治。
中學時，Grace, Nora,我們四人坐電車到處去。
大學時我們到J Town吃壽司，去唐人街看電影。
成年後，各自精彩，努力打併。我們都能以照顧二母為榮，我們關係從不疏離。即使移民，我們家相隔只十分鐘。
及至步入花甲，過去這一年，刻骨銘心。
您熱愛電影。這就是一場電影，一場67年歲月的電影。沒有膠片，沒數碼化，這一點一滴，只刻印在心中，永不間斷地輪迴。
姐，一路走好。

尹德粤

在記憶的20+年前, 認識了Joe Yin的姊姊Linda。
大伙兒聚會, 總被她的陽光氣息, 爽朗性格吸引着。Linda亦充滿活力, 熱愛生命, 熱愛大自然; 願她在另一彩虹國度, 活得更精彩🌈🌷💞💖

Kam Danise

姐姐，您是我唯一的姐姐，我從小就是跟著你轉，您叫我們向東走我不會向西走，長大後我還是叫您姐，只是加個老在前面，其他都沒變！
老姐，我們只是暫別，請不要忘了帶著小妺妹！

Samantha Suen

知道您不會因治療而落淚, 但因我去日本而哭泣！
多谢你的愛, 多谢你令我學懂去照顧別人, 非常非常難過趕不及回來親身同你說再見, 但整如我地常常講, 你心中有我, 我心中有你, 永遠懷念你！天家再重聚！

Jo Chan

去年獲悉Linda患病後數月，自己亦被診斷有肺癌！可幸發現得早，可割除左下肺葉；於化療期間得到Linda莫大的鼓勵，看到她的情況比我壞，但卻有著堅毅不撓的生存意志，不期然受到鼓舞而充滿正能量，我們還相約明年一起到Namibia,可是…….
Linda, 請你安息！我會好好把握每個治療機會！
永遠懐念你燦爛的陽光笑容❤️❤️❤️

Nora Woo

Linda,
70年代初次認識妳時是哥哥中學同學的家姐，深入認識妳時是第一次與妳及Joe，Amelia 2007 肯雅之旅。做了十多天的室友後，妳擴濶了我旅行的領域，提升了人生視野。
從此之後的12年，與妳去過三回非洲，體會到妳對大自然，野生動物，雀鳥的研究是有多深入⋯⋯
其他10次特别地點中多次約定網球教練打波，那份網球的熱愛又有誰能及。還有安排齊看歌劇、游泳、騎馬、揚帆出海種種特式節目都教我拍案叫絕。
Linda，2018妳要求我攪豪華版日本自駕遊，從你可在車廂內安睡多次，自感我超額完成。2019 義大利Puglia區及希臘Corfu 後，新冠爆發，我們再沒機會去遊玩了，去年5月在醫院碰過正著就從此緣慳一面。今午送別妳後，就等他朝再相逢。
你的智慧教導，親切熱情的性格會永留我心中⋯❤️
請安息✝️
