在个人生活方面，他与挚爱的张丽英女士结婚 58 余载，伉俪情深，是彼此一生的伴侣与最亲密的朋友。他们共同建立了一个充满温暖、欢笑与深厚家庭纽带的家。广生以对家人的无私奉献而闻名，是两位女儿与四位孙辈慈爱的父亲与祖父。在他三十多岁时，他支持妻子在日本的发展，在女儿们的小学和中学阶段悉心独自抚育。女儿在海外开枝散叶后，他更以开阔的胸怀接纳来自不同文化背景的女婿们，视如己出。他在一生中永远鼓励、滋养并陪伴着他的家人。

2007 年，他随家人移居加拿大，成为美丽卑诗省的永久居民，他与太太在东温哥华的家中含饴弄孙，颐养天年。他喜欢在家中做木工，也每周以正宗的中国料理款待家人，三代同堂。除了工作时期在欧洲的旅行之外，他走遍了加拿大东西两岸，也每每畅游美国并深深欣赏它的自然风光与都市活力。他相信教育的力量，慷慨解囊，支持子女与孙辈的学业追求。他对远在海外的家人朋友也常常心怀挂念，每有馈赠。

广生以乐观、谦逊与感恩的心态面对人生。无论是在家庭聚会中分享欢笑、向邻里朋友伸出援手，或是在旅途中结识新朋友，他总让身边的人感受到被重视与被关怀。

他的离去带来深深的空缺与悲哀，但他的爱依然与我们同在。我们深信他会在安息之处守望着我们，而我们也将延续他的精神，按照他的心愿，努力活出最充实的人生。

我们将永远怀念他，永远敬爱他。音容宛在，德泽绵长。

Celebrating the Life of Guang Sheng Sun

Our beloved Guang Sheng passed away peacefully at St. Paul’s Hospital on October 3, 2026, in Vancouver, BC, held in love and surrounded by his family.

Guang Sheng was born on August 12, 1945, in Ha’erbin, China. His artistic talent shone through at a very early age. He attended the Central Academy of Drama in Beijing and became a lead artist in the Drama Troupe of China. After pursuing his passion for performing arts for over a decade, he turned his warm nature, elegant presence, and inspirational mind toward serving the Ministry of Tourism of the Government of Beijing. During his decades-long leadership, he cultivated the infant marketing branch to a major profit and brand power generator. He then served as general manager and executive in a series of international hospitality establishments and continued his legacy with strategic insight, diplomatic leadership, and genuine care for the people around him until his retirement as a vice president.

On the personal side, he married Li Ying Zhang, his lifelong partner and best friend, 58 years ago, and together they built a home filled with warmth, laughter, and deep family bonds. He is known by family and friends for his unwavering devotion to the people he loved. He was a proud father and grandfather to two daughters and four grandchildren. He welcomed his sons-in-law from diverse backgrounds into his family wholeheartedly and treated them as his own. During his late 30s, he supported his wife’s pursuits in Japan and lovingly raised their daughters through their elementary and high school years. He was always encouraging, nurturing, and present. He became a permanent BC resident in 2007 following the family’s relocation and enjoyed caring for his grandchildren in his East Vancouver home. He practiced carpentry around his home and treated his family to his authentic Asian cooking every weekend.

Beyond his travels to Europe during his working years, he explored his new home, Canada, from coast to coast, and deeply appreciated both the natural beauty and the metropolitan energy of the United States. He believed in the power of education and gracefully supported his children and grandchildren in their academic pursuits.

Guang Sheng approached life with optimism, humility and gratitude. Whether sharing laughter at family gatherings, offering a helping hand to friends and neighbors, or making new acquaintances on his adventures, he made those around him feel valued and cared for.

His passing leaves a profound emptiness, but his love remains with us — steady, comforting, and enduring. We take comfort knowing he will look upon us from his resting place so that we will continue his legacy to live our lives to the fullest just as he wished.

We will honour him always and miss him dearly.

Guang Sheng is survived by his wife Li Ying Zhang, daughters Mei Karen Sun and Wei Maggie Sun, sons-in-law James Chan and Jianbo Liu, grandchildren Landon Chan, Satinee Chan, Aaron Leo Berezin, Aliya Kaelyn Berezin, and his extended family overseas.
