I don't want to accept this fact, but I still need to accept it; looking back 20 years ago when I met you, I was only 16. At the time it was just a chance meeting, but you already remembered me. Destiny made me join Big Honor Entertainment, over the past decade I went from on to off screen and you supported me on every decision, always guiding me and teaching me. You even took me around the world, taught me a lot of things and opened my eyes. Looking at these photos in detail, every scene, I really miss you very much. You were not only my benefactor in life, but also a godfather who was just like family. you kind laughter, the music you liked, your carefree attitude toward life, I would always remember them. We would keep working hard, continue your spirit, and always, always miss you. Godfather, happily and without a care go off with the fairies, have a safe journey!"
