I’d like to share with you a couple of quotes that are written on the headstone of Yi Jiefang’s son: “You are a tree. Alive or fallen, you served a purpose. Alive, you stood proud against winds and sandstorms; fallen, your brightness gave light and warmth to others. “Let life prosper in greenness; let greenness last forever in life.”
I think a lot can be learnt from the story of Yi Jiefang. I have complete respect for her and admire her strength in overcoming such a great personal loss. She has made a huge difference with her determination to make her son’s dreams a reality. That brings my presentation to an end. Thank you for listening. Any questions...
