2/1/93

News Headline:-

	Everyone hopes that there is a good beginning in every year. 
But for someone, this hope can not become true in 1993.

	A tragedy was happened at Lan Kwai Fong after several minutes of the 
new year. It caused 20 people dead and 66 people injured. For the deaths, two
are English. One is Japanese and the remaining are Chinese, ten men and three
women. In later moment of that night, Governor Chris Patten and his wife 
toured the scene after visiting Queen Mary and Tang Shiu Kin hospitals and
police headquarters. 

	The Director of the Hongkong and Macau Affairs Office, Mr Lu Ping, 
and the director of the local branch of the NCNA, Mr Zhou Nan, yesterday 
expressed their condolences to the victims in a telegram sent from Beijing.
On the other hand, after the meeting with the several Secretraies, Governor
order an independent inquiry for the tragedy. Justice Mr. Bokhary was 
appointed to head this inquiry and asked to submit a interim report by Lunar
New Year.

	A news report said that, at that night, there were about twenty 
thousand people in Lan Kwai Fong. As the new year was coming nearer, they were
more exciting. Many of them were drinking and using the spray. After few
minute of midnight, their excitement reached the most. Somebody slipped down
and was stepped. It caused many people slip down and being stepped. The 
situation was very chaotic although there were more 100 cops. Some witnesses
said that they saw four layers of people in there. Since there were too many
victims, ambulances in Kowloon side were also called to deliver them to 
the hospitals.


Entertainment :-

	As the Lunar New Year is coming, many films has been launched. For 
local films, they includes "Farewell to my concubine", starred by Leslie 
Cheung and Kon Li and "King of Beggars", starred by Chow Sing Chi. For 
foreign films, they includes "Death becomes Her", starred by Meryl Streep,
Bruce Willis and Goldie Hawn, "The Bodyguard", starred by Kevin Costner and
Whitney Houston; and "HomeALONe2".

	Personally, I hope I can see all the good films but maybe I have no
enough money!!!!

	
Spiritual Life :-

	Are you very busy now?

	I think not since at least you still have time to see this post.

	Somebody says that I have no time to do or think the things other
than my study, work, family and love etc. The following words may be the 
one you have said and will say :-

      " When I am a child, I have no time as I want to play with my friendly 
	neighbour.

	When I am older, I have no time as I want to do my homework and 
	examination.

	When I am further older, I have no time as I want to work for my job.

	When I am further older, I have no time as I want to deal with my love.

	When I am further older, I have no time as I want to deal with my home.

	When I am further older, I have no time as I want to look after my 
	children.

	When I am further older, I have no time as I want to look after the 
	son of my son.

	When I am further older, I have no time as I want to stay at hospital.

	When I am further older, I have no time as I die."

	Do you think that there are too many things around you throughout 
your life? If you think so, please sit down on a chair and keep a moment 
silent! It can help you to think many things that you haven't thought before,
such as the existence of eternal meaning of your life. I am confident that 
it must benefit you!
