"This place I am sending you to, you would be busy with free time, busy enjoying the warmth of sunrise and sunset, busy counting the love that you have taken away and given, busy experiencing the most delicate and the great beauty between Heaven and Earth. Thank you for spending your life to give me such a beautiful lesson, I will put what I have learnt into music, this, is at 17, Lo Hoi Tung and Eman Lam's permanent spirit.
