羅老師, it has been my tremendous good fortune to have

known you not only as a teacher in painting but more so as an

inspiring humanist. In 1995, you accepted me as a pupil even

though I had no foundation in calligraphy and little Chinese

learning. Born of Cantonese parents in Africa, I regarded and

still regard myself as culturally deaf-mute in Chinese. When

you shared a verse or a poem, I often drew a blank. But you
understood my burning thirst to learn and you took me in

without reservation.

For seven years until your retirement, your unwavering

patience guided me through the rich and colourful world of

Chinese art and literature. Despite my slow progress, you

always encouraged me with a smile and remained passionate

to your art.
Years have gone by, master-disciple relationship grew into

a lasting and precious friendship. I will always treasure what I

learned from you of our cultural heritage. I will always be

guided by the profound humanism that you have imparted.

Your loving pupil and friend,

黎永祥

謝謝羅老師教導我畫山水畫。見到我的畫的人都說我畫得好是

因為有老師會幫我再修改。他不只是我的老師，在我人生不開心時

給我意見鼓勵我。 他是一位值得尊敬的老師，我會永遠懷念他，

我知道有一天在天家與他相聚。

淑儀
