也是我最愛的 Daddy。
謝謝你,用一生為我樹立了什麼是善良、擔當與責任的榜樣。
你不僅是一位好父親,更是一個真正的好人。
這一生,你把「老好人」這三個字,活成了世人口中的評價。
從你懂事開始,便為了家庭默默付出,外出打工、努力分擔,只為了讓你的六位兄弟姊妹能擁有更好的未來。
你的辛勞沒有白費,也終被人看見——
曾有神父賞識你的能力,願意資助你出國讀書。
但因為你是家中唯一的頂樑柱,你選擇放棄那次機會,把責任留在自己肩上。
上天終究沒有辜負你的努力。
憑著你出色而負責的工作態度,你在年紀輕輕時便擔任文員官,之後進入香港政府部門服務。
你曾告訴我,你不喜歡在同一個崗位停留超過四年,只要有機會,便勇敢嘗試新的挑戰。
一路走來,有很多人賞識你、希望你為他們工作,
但你始終告訴我——
無論身在何處,你都會保持初心。
你一向樂於助人,也願意傾聽別人。
你脾氣並不算溫和,但你的內心始終柔軟而善良。
而善良,恰恰成了你最大的軟肋。
二〇〇〇年十一月,我的出生,
成了你這一生最溫柔、也最深的軟肋。
因為家族輩分的關係,我原本應該取名為「陳嘉」字輩,
但你卻為我取名——陳心田。
你說,你不想讓我和別人一樣,
希望我能特別一點。
我從未親口對你說過,
但今天,我想在這裡告訴你:
我非常、非常喜歡這個名字。
你曾向我解釋,「心田」的意思,是先祖耕作的農田——
種下什麼樣的種子,便會結出什麼樣的果實。
你希望我能為自己,也為後輩,種下好的果。
也許正因如此,
我長成了和你一樣善良、心軟的人。
很多人說你把我寵壞了,
但我從不這樣認為。
我知道,那不是寵壞,
那是你給我的底氣。
Daddy,
謝謝你用一生教會我什麼是善良、責任與擔當。
你留給我的,不只是回憶,
而是一整片已被你耕耘好的心田。
往後的路,也許不容易,
但我會記得你教我的每一件小事,
記得你如何做人,如何對待世界,
也記得你如何無聲地愛我。
請你放心,
我會好好照顧自己,
把你種下的善意繼續傳下去,
不辜負你的名字,也不辜負你。
親愛的 Daddy,
謝謝你成為我的父親。
這一生,能做你的女兒,
是我最大的驕傲。
願你安息。
我們會帶著你的愛,繼續前行。

Dear Chan Kwok Sun,
my beloved Daddy.
Thank you for showing me, through your life, what kindness, responsibility, and integrity truly mean.
You were not only a devoted father, but a genuinely good man.
From a young age, you carried the weight of your family, working hard so your siblings could have a better future.
Though you once gave up the chance to study abroad to fulfill your responsibilities, your dedication was never wasted.
Through your diligence and integrity, you built a life of quiet respect and service.
You were always willing to help others and patient enough to listen.
Though your temper was strong, your heart was always kind.
And kindness became your greatest strength — and your deepest vulnerability.
In November 2000, my birth became the softest place in your heart.
You named me Chan Sum Tin, “Heart’s Field,”
hoping I would plant good seeds and grow with kindness.
I never told you this, but I truly love my name.
Many say you spoiled me.
But I know what you gave me was not indulgence —
it was confidence, safety, and love.
Daddy,
what you leave me is more than memories.
You leave me a heart already cultivated.
I will take good care of myself.
I will carry your kindness forward.
I will not fail the name you gave me, nor the love you showed me.
Thank you for being my father.
Being your daughter is my greatest pride.
Rest in peace. My apple in my eyes♥
