Dear Wei Bobo, or as we used to say when we were young, Ngai Bakbak, now that you are in heaven, our father Ming Ya must be thrilled to have you as a strong partner at his bridge table I am sure he had missed you for a very long time. You are the one that has brought Ming Ya into the big family of the Bank of China in which both of you have stayed until retirement. The adventures of postwar Indochina, the hot monsoon climate of Saigon, the bustling Chinese community both of you have contributed so much to help prosper, that must have been quite an exciting achievement. History wanted it to have a sad ending, and I remember personally our very intimate and frantic mail exchange before Ming Ya and Helen Loh were evacuated to Taiwan the day before the fall of Saigon. I have always been grateful for your friendship and kindness towards my father and our family all through these years. And I keep in my heart the dinner we had en tete-a-tete in Paris when you came to visit, you an important chairman and I just a university student. As a kid we keep a fond memory of the playground in your garden in Saigon, especially the day when I contaminated Raymond with the virus of cricket fighting. While Mary and Suzanne were quietly playing dolls or reading books in Suzanneââ?¬â?¢s room, David and I and my brother Robert we went back and forth fetching water to fill in those holes in the garden to catch so many crickets that all we did was to dump them into your bathtub. It was such a sight! All the crickets fighting, singing and jumping in the tub! We ended up getting such a scold from Wei Bomu that this became one of my dearest childhood memories! To dear Wei Bomu, we children of Ming Ya and Helen Loh, we thank you for your faithful friendship to our mother, we can only give you a symbolic warmest big hug from the distance our heart and thoughts stay with you, with sister Nong Nong Helen, with Suzanne and Raymond.
