Beneficiary: Mr. Yuen, aged 64
Wish Journey: 2020-6-25
Mr. Yuen traded in the jade business for several decades. His wish was to pass on his knowledge in selecting jade. In order to do so, he wound up his business and took the job of a caretaker in a building to allow him time to write about this topic. He spent 6 years struggling with writing the book as he had received education up to primary level.
HK Anti-cancer Association social workers sought help from BASIC. Volunteers took pictures of him and his large collection of jade stones, recorded and edited his writing. Volunteers published his book Entitled “Crazy About Jade” just months before his death. Her daughter living overseas said: “I never knew that my father has such deep knowledge about what he was doing.” It was music to the ears for Mr. Yuen.
