Yat Fan Chui (Xu Xing)

徐老先生原籍浙江溫州，出身江南鄉紳世家。少時逢家道中落，十六歲即離鄉謀生，隻身走遍大江南北。先生雖未受正規高等教育，然憑藉觀察入微、勤奮好學之天資，於社會大學中累積了極為深厚的人生閱歷與真知灼見。

1950年，徐老先生移居香港，白手起家創辦補習社，親任校長，所教學生皆成摯友，亦因而與夫人徐慕蘭（Mo Lan Chui）結下終身良緣。兩年後，先生開辦貿易公司。業務步入軌道後，先生積極向報刊投稿，隨後創辦三間文化雜誌社，以筆名「許行」宏揚文藝，於香港文壇及出版界留下深刻印記。

經商文墨之餘，先生一生熱愛學習，更醉心藝術。四十七歲遊歷歐洲後深受震撼，回港即修讀中文大學校外課程，對素描、版畫、油畫、雕塑、絲網印及燒陶等無不涉獵，造詣非凡。

1988年，徐老先生退休移民加拿大溫哥華。先生因生性熱心助人、廣結良朋，隨即融入在地生活。退休後，夫婦二人攜手同遊美加勝景，並多次自由行遠赴歐洲瞻仰博物館珍藏。至晚年行動不便之際，先生內仍堅持扶助行器（Walker）遠行求藝。先生宅邸內隨處可見其雕塑、書法、篆刻、陶藝及紙漿畫等傳世作品，私人圖書館藏書亦極為豐富。

綜觀徐老先生百歲一生，其字典中從無「事不可為」之詞。先生之長壽與豐盛，皆源自其樂觀豁達之胸襟、勤奮好學之熱忱、熱愛藝術之靈魂，以及樂善好施之德行。先生之高尚品格，將永遠為後輩及親友所景仰與銘記。

遺孀徐慕蘭（Mo Lan Chui）率全體家屬及親友哀慟悼念。

With deep sadness, we announce the peaceful passing of our beloved husband, and dear friend, Mr. Yat Fan Chui, who left us on September 1, 2026, at Burnaby Hospital in British Columbia, Canada, at the remarkable age of 100.

Born into a landed gentry family in Wenzhou, Zhejiang, China, Mr. Chui faced early adversity when his family fortunes declined, leaving home at age sixteen to work across the country. Though he lacked formal higher education, he graduated from the "school of life" with keen intelligence and a diligent spirit. In 1950, he moved to Hong Kong, where he founded a tutorial center, married his former student, established a successful trading company, and later founded three prominent magazine companies under his pen name, Xu Xing.

A profound lover of culture, Mr. Chui discovered a passion for the arts during a trip to Europe at age 47. He went on to study visual arts at the Chinese University of Hong Kong, mastering oil painting, sculpture, and ceramics. In 1988, he retired and immigrated to Vancouver, Canada, where his optimistic, helpful nature made him a cherished member of the local community. An adventurous spirit, he frequently traveled back to Europe to tour art museums, bravely navigating with a walker in his final years. He leaves behind a home rich with his personal artistic creations and an extensive private library. He truly lived by the motto that nothing was "impossible to accomplish."

He will be profoundly missed by his loving wife, Mo Lan Chui, family, and a wide circle of global friends.
