Rev. Dr.David Kawai
Tsang曾大衛博士牧師

00:00Family and friends gather in the Longhorn Room before the service.安息禮拜開始前，親友齊集 Longhorn Room。

04:45[inaudible] Auntie Esther and Sunny and Angell and your [unclear] family. Thank you for being here today. We honor and celebrate the life, the person, the [inaudible]. Each of us here, and many, many others not in this room, hold [unclear] within our bodies and our hearts the wisdom, the love, the care the Reverend Tsang tried to live out [inaudible]. For that, we are grateful.〔聽不清楚〕Auntie Esther、Sunny、Angell 和你們〔不確定〕一家。謝謝你們今天來到這裏。我們懷着敬意，慶賀他的一生、他的為人、〔聽不清楚〕。我們在座每一位，還有許許多多不在這裏的人，在身體裏、在心裏都存着〔不確定〕那份智慧、那份愛、那份關懷，就是曾牧師努力活出來的〔聽不清楚〕。為此，我們感恩。

05:32His commitment and devotion to following in the way and teachings of Jesus impacted how he treated others. For that, we are grateful. In spite of the loss and chaos that he experienced growing up, God transformed some of that pain so that he could create the family that he did [inaudible]. For that, we are grateful. So on this day we seek to remember his life and consider our own, in light of divine love being present with us. Let me offer this prayer.他委身並忠心跟隨耶穌的道路和教導，這影響了他怎樣待人。為此，我們感恩。儘管他在成長歲月中經歷過失去與混亂，神卻轉化了其中一些傷痛，使他能夠建立起這樣的一個家〔聽不清楚〕。為此，我們感恩。所以今天，我們因着神聖的愛與我們同在，願意追念他的一生，也省察自己的生命。讓我獻上這個禱告。

06:17God of lament and tears, we ask that you grieve with us, for you know and understand the loss [inaudible] in our lives. God of comfort and tenderness, we ask for your presence and your care this day and for days to come, that you receive David in your grace, so that he may experience rest in peace.哀傷與眼淚的神啊，求你與我們一同哀慟，因為你知道、也明白我們生命中〔聽不清楚〕的失去。安慰與溫柔的神啊，求你今天和往後的日子都與我們同在、看顧我們；求你在你的恩典中接納大衛，使他得享安息。

06:45God of mercy and hope, we ask for your strength and resolve to continue the life [unclear] and how we care for the other and for the marginalized. We ask all this in the name of God our creator, God our healer, and God our [inaudible].憐憫與盼望的神啊，求你賜我們力量和決心，去延續這生命〔不確定〕，延續我們關顧他者、關顧被邊緣化的人的方式。我們這一切祈求，是奉神的名：神是我們的創造主，是我們的醫治者，也是我們的〔聽不清楚〕。

08:25The congregation sings the hymn "Great Is Thy Faithfulness," led by Angell on guitar.會眾同唱聖詩《你的信實廣大》，由 Angell 以結他領唱。

12:31My name is Rachel [inaudible]. Rev. Dr. David Tsang is my seventh uncle. As you may already know from his story, he came from a family with ten boys. My dad was number six and he was number seven. I called him "Tsat Suk," which meant seventh uncle.我的名字是 Rachel〔聽不清楚〕。曾大衛博士牧師是我的七叔。大家也許已經從他的故事知道，他家裏有十兄弟；我爸爸排第六，他排第七。我叫他「七叔」，意思就是排行第七的叔叔。

12:52My Tsat Suk and I always had a special connection, as we were both born in the year of the horse. I wore my horse earrings today, there's two: one, two, to celebrate this special connection between us. He would bring it up every time I saw him, and it would always bring a smile to my face. I have the honor of sharing one of my Tsat Suk's favorite passages, from Psalm 67, verses 1 and 2.我和七叔一向有一份特別的緣分，因為我們都是馬年出生的。我今天戴了我的馬形耳環，有兩隻：一、二，為的是紀念我們之間這份特別的緣分。每次見到他，他都會提起這件事，而每次都叫我臉上露出笑容。我很榮幸能分享七叔最喜愛的其中一段經文：詩篇六十七篇一至二節。

13:20God be merciful unto us, and bless us; and cause his face to shine upon us; that thy way may be known upon earth, thy saving health among all nations.願神憐憫我們，賜福與我們，用臉光照我們，好叫世界得知你的道路，萬國得知你的救恩。

13:57I hope everyone can see the screen from here. Now, you might be surprised that although David became my brother-in-law, I actually knew him before Esther did. I first met him in year 1969.希望大家都看得到這邊的螢幕。說來你們或許會感到意外，雖然大衛後來成了我的連襟，其實我比 Esther 更早認識他。我第一次見到他，是在一九六九年。

14:23I was in high school and involved in a youth group of a local church, and we heard that there was a student in the Bible [inaudible] who was a freedom swimmer, and he took the risk of swimming across the water from Mainland China to Hong Kong. So we made an appointment to meet him and to learn about his story. I was impressed, and I have been impressed for the next 57 years.那時我還在念中學，參加了本地一間教會的青年團契。我們聽說，有一位就讀聖經〔聽不清楚〕的學生，是投奔自由的泳者，曾冒着危險，從中國大陸渡海游到香港。於是我們約了他見面，想聽聽他的故事。我當時十分佩服，而往後這五十七年，我一直都很佩服他。

15:05And today we are gathered here with mixed emotions. Our hearts are heavy because we have lost a spiritual shepherd, a friend or a relative. Yet our spirits are filled with hope, because we know this is not the end of David's story. God in his infinite wisdom has chosen to take David home to be with Christ in paradise.今天，我們百感交集地聚集在這裏。我們心裏沉重，因為我們失去了一位屬靈的牧者、一位朋友，或是一位親人。然而我們的心靈充滿盼望，因為我們知道，這並不是大衛故事的終結。神以祂無限的智慧，選擇接大衛回天家，在樂園裏與基督同在。

15:47While David is no longer with us in person [unclear], he has left us many meaningful gifts. You can see some nice pictures, nice paintings by David at the back. He has written many books. I very much cherished the works that he gave me throughout the years. And above all, he left us with the beautiful story of his life, which remains an inspiring example for us all.雖然大衛不能再親身〔不確定〕與我們同在，他卻留給我們許多意義深長的禮物。大家可以在後面看到大衛一些很美的圖畫、很美的畫作。他也寫了許多書。這些年來他送給我的作品，我都十分珍惜。最重要的是，他留給我們他一生美好的故事，至今仍是激勵我們每一個人的榜樣。

16:29Now, if you haven't seen the website that Angell [unclear] developed for David, you don't want to miss it. You don't want to miss it.還有，如果你還沒有看過 Angell〔不確定〕為大衛建立的網站，千萬不要錯過。千萬不要錯過。

16:43And as I think of David's life, I think of the Apostle Paul in the New Testament. And I noticed that there are many similarities between Paul and David, particularly in a letter that Apostle Paul wrote to his student Timothy.想到大衛的一生，我就想起新約聖經裏的使徒保羅。我留意到保羅和大衛有許多相似之處，尤其是在使徒保羅寫給他學生提摩太的一封書信裏。

17:12Now, that letter was written just before Paul was executed; he was in [inaudible] at that time. A passage I find very fitting to think about David today. I will read it to you: 2 Timothy 4:7-8. Apostle Paul said to Timothy:那封信是保羅被處決前不久寫的，當時他身在〔聽不清楚〕。有一段經文，我覺得很適合今天用來思念大衛。我讀給大家聽：提摩太後書四章七至八節。使徒保羅對提摩太說：

17:43I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith. Now there is in store for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will award to me on that day—and not only to me, but also to all who have longed for his appearing.那美好的仗我已經打過了，當跑的路我已經跑盡了，所信的道我已經守住了。從此以後，有公義的冠冕為我存留，就是按着公義審判的主到了那日要賜給我的；不但賜給我，也賜給凡愛慕他顯現的人。

18:13Let's take a closer look at what Paul says here, that also, I think, applies to David. First, Apostle Paul said, "I have fought the good fight." Now, Paul used the image of a soldier in a battle. He reminds us that ministry is a spiritual battleground.讓我們仔細看看保羅在這裏所說的話，我認為這些話同樣適用於大衛。首先，使徒保羅說：「那美好的仗我已經打過了。」保羅在這裏用了士兵上陣作戰的形象，他提醒我們，事奉就是一個屬靈的戰場。

18:42The good fight means two things. One is that you pick the right opponent. You fight with the right guy. You choose the right target. And secondly, you do well in the fight. Now, David picked the right target. He did not waste time or energy on things that don't last. He picked the target that has the eternal reward. And he also fought well, because he did not give up. He kept going forward.「美好的仗」有兩重意思。第一，是你選對了對手，找對了人來打，選對了目標。第二，是你這場仗打得好。大衛選對了目標，他沒有把時間和精力浪費在不能長存的事情上；他選定的，是有永恆賞賜的目標。他這場仗也打得好，因為他沒有放棄，一直向前邁進。

19:23Now, fighting well doesn't mean that you win every battle. It means that you endure and [inaudible], always moving toward that goal. David has shared with me on many occasions, while he ministered at different churches in California, New York, Washington, and Vancouver. And it touched my heart.打得好，並不是說每一場仗都打勝，而是你能夠忍耐，並且〔聽不清楚〕，始終朝着那目標前進。大衛在加州、紐約、華盛頓和溫哥華不同的教會牧會期間，曾多次與我分享，令我深受感動。

19:51I have the deep feeling that being a pastor is not easy. I know there are several pastors right here, or your spouse is a pastor; it's not easy. And you will agree with me, especially if you want to be a faithful servant of the Lord.我深深體會到，作牧師並不容易。我知道在座有好幾位牧師，又或者你的配偶是牧師——這實在不容易。相信你們都會同意我的話，尤其是如果你立志作主忠心的僕人。

20:16Based on my experience, a faithful pastor suffers a lot, suffers for Christ, and our body is marked with scars. And some scars are from fighting wild animals to protect the flock. The rest of the scars are from the sheep.按我的經驗，一位忠心的牧師要受許多苦，為基督受苦，我們身上都帶着傷疤。有些傷疤，是為了保護羊群、與野獸搏鬥留下的；至於其餘的傷疤，卻是羊留下的。

20:44Finishing the race doesn't mean that pastors will not get tired or will not face doubt. It means that they don't quit. And David did not quit. Through changes in time, health challenges and cultural shift, he kept running. He kept fighting. David fought for the gospel. He fought for the salvation of souls and for the spiritual health of the congregation. And he fought a good fight.跑盡當跑的路，並不是說牧師不會疲倦、不會遇上疑惑，而是說他們不會半途而廢。大衛沒有半途而廢。無論時代變遷、健康的挑戰，還是文化的轉變，他都一直跑下去，一直打下去。大衛為福音爭戰，為靈魂得救爭戰，也為會眾靈命的健康爭戰。他打了一場美好的仗。

21:28And Apostle Paul said, "I have finished the race." The Christian life, particularly the ministry life of a pastor, is a race. It's a marathon. It's not a 100-meter sprint. Finishing the race means that you work hard [inaudible]. And David kept running until he reached the finish line.使徒保羅又說：「當跑的路我已經跑盡了。」基督徒的人生，尤其是牧師的事奉生涯，是一場賽跑。那是一場馬拉松，不是一百米短跑。跑盡當跑的路，意思是你要努力〔聽不清楚〕。大衛一直跑下去，直到抵達終點。

22:08Apostle Paul said, "I have kept the faith." Now, that is the core of a pastor's calling. David had unwavering conviction about the Bible. You can feel that when you read his books, his essays. David got [unclear] the message of Jesus Christ. He preached the Bible with confidence, with love, and he refused to dilute the truth to please the audience.使徒保羅說：「所信的道我已經守住了。」這正是牧師蒙召的核心。大衛對聖經有堅定不移的信念，你讀他的書、他的文章，就能感受得到。大衛領會了〔不確定〕耶穌基督的信息。他滿有信心、滿有愛心地宣講聖經，決不為了討好聽眾而沖淡真理。

22:46David was also a living testimony. He did not talk about faith only. He lived it out. He walked his talk.大衛也是一個活的見證。他不是只把信仰掛在嘴邊，而是把信仰活了出來，言行一致。

23:03Apostle Paul, toward the end of his life, in chapter 4 of 2 Timothy, he looked forward to the crown of righteousness. And he said:使徒保羅在人生將盡的時候，在提摩太後書第四章裏，盼望着那公義的冠冕。他說：

23:18Now there is in store for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will award to me on that day—and not only to me, but also to all who have longed for his appearing.從此以後，有公義的冠冕為我存留，就是按着公義審判的主到了那日要賜給我的；不但賜給我，也賜給凡愛慕他顯現的人。

23:34Now today, while we mourn the loss of David, we celebrate a magnificent homecoming. The race is run, the battle is won, and David is resting in the presence of the Master. He will receive his crown of righteousness.今天，我們雖然為失去大衛而哀傷，卻也為一次榮美的歸家而歡慶。當跑的路已經跑完，當打的仗已經得勝，大衛如今在主面前安息。他必得着他那公義的冠冕。

24:00But there's more. There's more in this verse. Apostle Paul said that the crown of righteousness will also be given to those who are expecting, who are waiting for Christ's appearance. And they include you and me.但還不止於此，這節經文還有更多的意思。使徒保羅說，公義的冠冕也要賜給那些期待、等候基督顯現的人，其中也包括你和我。

24:20David's work on earth is complete. Mission accomplished. It's now up to you and me to continue with our fight and our run. Let us commit our life to Jesus and find ways to share the good news of Christ with our friends and our neighbors.大衛在世上的工作已經做完了。使命完成。現在輪到你和我，繼續打我們的仗、跑我們的路。讓我們把生命獻給耶穌，並且設法與我們的朋友和鄰舍分享基督的好消息。

24:47Now let's pray together. Heavenly Father, we thank you for David, for his faith, love, and tireless service. I pray that you'll comfort David's family and friends. Help us to pick up the torch he carried so well, so that we'll run our own races with endurance, and to keep the faith until we meet again. In Jesus' name, Amen.現在讓我們一同禱告。天父，我們為大衛感謝祢，為他的信心、愛心和不辭勞苦的事奉感謝祢。求祢安慰大衛的家人和朋友。求祢幫助我們接過他一直出色地高舉的火炬，使我們能存着忍耐，奔跑自己當跑的路，持守所信的道，直到我們再相見的日子。奉耶穌的名禱告，阿們。

26:04Hello, my name is Angell. I am David's son, and I have the honor and privilege of being his son for the last 46 years. The story of my life begins with the decisions that Dad made in the story of my [inaudible]. And honestly, we don't have the time here in this service to recount his entire life's journey and do justice to his accomplishments.大家好，我叫 Angell，是大衛的兒子。過去四十六年能夠作他的兒子，是我的榮幸，也是我的福分。我人生的故事，是從爸爸在我〔聽不清楚〕的故事裏所作的決定開始的。老實說，在這個安息禮拜裏，我們實在沒有足夠的時間去細述他一生的歷程，也難以充分交代他的成就。

26:38I think Dad's life could be made into an action-packed, full-length film. So I tried to capture all of that on the website that I created.我覺得爸爸的一生，足以拍成一部動作連場的長篇電影。所以，我嘗試把這一切都記錄在我所建立的網站上。

27:03Before Dad's Parkinson's and dementia fully took over, I think all of us are so grateful that he took it upon himself to write memoirs on his computer, prior to the disease taking over. And that is the basis for the stories for the website. So I didn't make this stuff up. It was really just all translated onto the website.在爸爸的柏金遜症和認知障礙症全面惡化之前——我想我們大家都非常感恩——他趕在疾病佔上風之前，主動在電腦上寫下了回憶錄。網站上的故事，就是以這些回憶錄為根據的。所以，這些事情不是我編出來的，其實只是把它全部翻譯過來，放到網站上而已。

27:34So I encourage you all, if you haven't yet, to go to revdavidtsang.com. I actually pushed up some updates yesterday. So if you read it last week, it's newly updated. There's more stuff. So I will continue to be pushing more as more data and information, more stories, more interviews that I have. They will all be added and added and added, hopefully, to the very end.所以，如果你還沒有看過，我鼓勵大家去瀏覽 revdavidtsang.com。其實我昨天才上載了一些更新，所以如果你上星期已經看過，現在又有新的內容，東西更多了。我會繼續更新，隨着我手上有更多資料和資訊、更多故事、更多訪問，這些都會一直加上去，加了又加，希望能一直加到最後。

28:07So, I apologize if this is going to go long. It's going to go long, because my dad's life story is super long, and I really tried to cut almost everything out, but it's going to be long, okay? So just settle in, okay?所以，如果我講得太長，我先向大家說聲抱歉。一定會很長的，因為我爸爸一生的故事實在太長了。我真的已經盡量把幾乎所有內容都刪掉，但還是會很長，好嗎？所以請大家安坐，好嗎？

28:27My dad was a country boy from rural inner southern China. This is very far away from the ocean. After the communist changeover — I encourage you guys to look into what happened there — his logical destiny after the communist changeover was to be a farmer with minimal education, very little potential to reach higher than what was dealt to him in his life.我爸爸是一個鄉下孩子，來自中國南方內陸的農村，那裏離海十分遙遠。共產黨取得政權之後——我鼓勵大家去了解一下當時發生過甚麼事——按常理推斷，政權易手之後，他的命運就是當一個沒讀過多少書的農夫，幾乎沒有可能超越人生分派給他的際遇。

29:05He was the seventh of ten brothers. Needless to say, one-on-one parental attention and love, which any child wants, desires, and needs, was a scarce commodity.他在十兄弟中排行第七。不用說，父母一對一的關注和愛，是每個孩子都想要、渴望、也需要的，對他來說卻是稀有之物。

29:24This was exacerbated by the environment that he was surrounded by. He was born into multiple wars in China: first, the Japanese invasion, the Chinese Civil War. He endured unimaginable trauma of persecution as a doctor's son, and by the Red Guards, which was a form of the new government going on and changing the government in China. It was a terrible time.他身處的環境，更令這種情況雪上加霜。他出生在中國戰禍連連的年代：先是日本侵華，再有國共內戰。他因為是醫生的兒子而遭受迫害，又受到紅衛兵的迫害，承受了難以想像的創傷。紅衛兵可說是當時新政權的一種形式，正在改變中國的政局。那是一個可怕的年代。

30:08You may be learning about this for the first time, and the reason why I made the website is because I think it is very important to understand the rich and tragic history that shaped my dad, his family, many others living in China, millions of people, because only then can you understand how incredible my dad's journey has been, against all odds.你可能是第一次聽到這些事。我之所以建立這個網站，是因為我認為，了解這段豐富而又悲慘的歷史十分重要——它塑造了我爸爸、他的家人，以及許多生活在中國的人，數以百萬計的人；因為只有這樣，你才會明白，我爸爸排除萬難所走過的路，是多麼不可思議。

30:37For those of us who were born and grew up here in America, like me, it's hard. I can admit it is hard to relate. It's hard to understand. Again, a lot of the details are on the website.對於我們這些在美國出生、長大的人，就像我，這並不容易。我承認，這很難感同身受，也很難理解。我再說一次，很多細節都在網站上。

31:00After you read his life story, you'll realize that Dad was a lot of things. So I'll go through the list. Dad was a forever student. He embodied curiosity and inquisitiveness. He also paired that with hardcore commitment. And then those of you who know my dad, you know he was hardcore.讀過他一生的故事之後，你會發現爸爸有很多不同的面貌。所以讓我逐一數一數。爸爸是一個終身的學生，他就是好奇心和求知慾的化身。同時，他還有一股拼到底的堅持。認識我爸爸的人都知道，他真的是拼到底的。

31:30When something sparked in his mind, he would just dive deep and would not let go. When Sunny and I told him that we wanted to quit piano lessons, he looked at our piano and he said, "Fine. I will learn how to play piano. I will not let this piano go to waste."每當有甚麼在他腦海裏擦出火花，他就會一頭栽進去，深入鑽研，絕不放手。當 Sunny 和我告訴他，我們不想再上鋼琴課的時候，他看着我們那座鋼琴說：「好，我來學彈鋼琴。我不會讓這座鋼琴白白浪費。」

31:54And in his early forties, although he had no formal music training, he taught himself basic music theory and composed 11 original hymns. And I finally [unclear] have memories of him singing and playing piano. And also being thankful that he let me quit piano.他四十出頭的時候，雖然沒有受過正規的音樂訓練，卻自學了基本樂理，還創作了十一首原創聖詩。我終於〔不確定〕有了他邊彈琴邊唱歌的回憶，也很感恩他讓我不用再學鋼琴。

32:22He had no formal arts training. Yet he produced countless pieces of beautiful Chinese calligraphy paintings, which you can see. We have some originals in the back. Mostly horses, his favorite animal.他沒有受過正規的美術訓練，卻創作了無數優美的中國書畫作品，大家都可以看到，我們在後面擺放了一些真跡。畫的大多是馬，那是他最喜愛的動物。

32:42He discovered the joys of making 100% custom, artisanal bedside lamps. Yes, we had like 50 of them in our house, and some of us who were very close to us also have them in our house.他發現了製作床頭燈的樂趣——百分之百度身訂造的手作床頭燈。是的，我們家裏大概有五十盞，而我們當中一些跟我們很親近的人，家裏也有。

33:04Each one always had — in the '80s they invented a touch sensor, where you screw in the light bulb and then you draw a wire to some metal piece. All of them have that, so that in order to turn on the lamp you have to just touch the lamp. And I bet you, to a countryside China boy, this was absolute magic, right? So he made sure that was on every one.每一盞都有——八十年代有人發明了一種觸控感應器，你把燈泡旋上去，再拉一條電線接到某塊金屬上。他的每一盞燈都有這個裝置，所以要開燈，只要碰一碰那盞燈就行了。我敢說，對一個來自中國鄉下的孩子來說，這簡直就是魔法，對吧？所以他一定要每一盞都裝上。

33:34Dad was a thinker, and he was a writer. He wrote more than a dozen books. Those books are on the website as well. We've shipped them off to a professional book scanner so that I can get official, real e-books, and I'll be putting them on the website so you can download it to your computer. And it's fully, for the first time ever, translated from Chinese to English.爸爸是一個愛思考的人，也是一個作家。他寫了十多本書，這些書也在網站上。我們已經把書寄到專業的書籍掃描公司，好讓我可以製作正式的、真正的電子書；我會把它們放到網站上，讓大家可以下載到自己的電腦。而且，這些書有史以來第一次全部由中文翻譯成英文。

34:05Man, was he a writer. My memories of him: I would wake up in the morning to the typewriter. And if you've never lived through that era, the typewriter is when you do it before the computer, and it would shoot a letter, with ink, and hit the paper, and then when you reach the line break you would hit enter, and the paper would fly to the left, and then it would hit a bell and go right.他可真是個作家啊。我對他的記憶是：早上我是被打字機的聲音喚醒的。如果你沒有經歷過那個年代——打字機就是電腦出現之前用來打字的東西，它會把一個字母連同油墨彈出去，打在紙上；到了要換行的時候，你按一下換行鍵，紙就會飛向左邊，然後敲響一下鈴聲，再回到右邊。

34:41So I would wake up to the bell and the clacking, clacking and bell, and then I would go to sleep to clacking and bells. He was non-stop writing.所以我是伴着鈴聲和噼噼啪啪的打字聲醒來的，噼噼啪啪，又是鈴聲；然後又伴着噼啪聲和鈴聲入睡。他就是這樣不停地寫。

34:56Dad was a consummate teacher. He had this incredible skill of explaining how things worked using a lot of empathy. He wasn't really a tyrannical, dictator-type teacher. He was a bended-knee type teacher.爸爸是一位不折不扣的良師。他有一種了不起的本領，能夠帶着很大的同理心去解釋事物的道理。他不是那種專橫、獨裁式的老師，而是一位屈膝俯就的老師。

35:19He used this style of a combination of Chinese proverb and Jesus parables to teach us. And as kids, well, that's how he taught us too. He'd sit us down, me and Sunny, and lecture us, and we would look at each other and say, "Okay, let's settle in. We've got a whole bunch of analogies coming through."他教導我們的方式，是把中國諺語和耶穌的比喻結合起來。我們還是孩子的時候，他也是這樣教我們的。他會叫我和 Sunny 坐下來，給我們訓話，而我們就會互相對望，說：「好了，坐好吧，有一大堆比喻要來了。」

35:47He'd be like, "God's love is like an elevator, lifting those willing to be served from a low level to a high level. But man's love is like an orange squeezer, because it appears, the orange squeezer appears to love the orange, but it doesn't. It only just squeezes the orange dry to satisfy itself."他會這樣說：「神的愛像一部升降機，把願意接受服侍的人，從低處帶到高處。但人的愛卻像一個榨橙器，因為它看來——榨橙器看來很愛那個橙，其實不然。它只是把橙榨乾，來滿足自己。」

36:24I would do something wrong, and I would apologize, disingenuously. And he would be like, "This is like a murderer who stands in court and only admits to the judge that he was impolite to the victim. And that is not the same as confessing."我做錯了事，然後毫無誠意地道歉，他就會說：「這就好像一個殺人犯站在法庭上，只向法官承認自己對受害人不禮貌。這和認罪並不是同一回事。」

36:53Dad, he had an enormous capacity to give. He was so generous. When he arrived in Chicago for the very first time, during the day he studied, went to school, and at night he worked as a taxi driver, he worked as a bus driver, he was a janitor, he was a live-in evening caretaker for elderly.爸爸有一顆極願意付出的心，他非常慷慨。他第一次來到芝加哥的時候，白天讀書、上學，晚上就去工作：他開過的士，開過巴士，做過清潔工，也做過留宿的夜間護老員。

37:22He paid his tuition on time, every single semester, except for the one time he had to use it to buy the engagement ring for my mom. And every month he sent money back to his mother and his brothers in China, while also sending money to seminary students in Hong Kong that he knew needed support. He would continue to do this to the very end of his mother's life.他每一個學期都準時交學費，只有一次例外，就是他要用那筆錢給我媽媽買訂婚戒指的那一次。他每個月都寄錢回中國給他的母親和兄弟，同時又寄錢給他知道需要支持的香港神學生。他一直這樣做，直到他母親離世為止。

37:58He would note that he would see other seminary students from China receiving money to use for tuition, and he was doing the opposite: money was outflowing from him as a student. In his memoirs he writes:他曾經提到，他看見其他來自中國的神學生都是收到錢來交學費的，而他卻剛好相反：作為學生，錢是從他那裏流出去的。他在回憶錄中寫道：

38:20Give gladly when one is in need.樂捐囊乏資。

38:26Although my dad was prolific in his paintings and lamp making, the libraries of his work I have documented is surely incomplete, because all I have is the files and what we have on hand, because he gave almost everything away. If he made a lamp, he gave it. If he painted a horse, he gave it. The purpose of art for him was not to just admire the art, but to just gift to others.爸爸在繪畫和製燈方面雖然十分多產，但我所整理記錄的作品庫肯定並不齊全，因為我手上只有檔案和我們手頭現存的東西；畢竟他幾乎把一切都送了出去。他做了一盞燈，就送人；畫了一匹馬，也送人。對他來說，藝術的意義不在於只供人欣賞，而在於送給別人。

38:58But his greatest gift was his time and his energy and his passion for others. He had a gift for instantly dropping anything he was doing to help you. I don't know what he called that gift, but it was his gift.但他最寶貴的禮物，是他的時間、他的精力，和他對別人的熱心。他有一種恩賜：可以立刻放下手上的一切來幫你。我不知道他怎樣稱呼這種恩賜，但那確實是他的恩賜。

39:17"Yes, my son, what do you need?" That was like, he'd just pop up. He would rush over to Mom when she called. All the countless times counseling and mentoring and teaching pretty much anyone who asked, at a moment's notice. He gave everything of himself to everyone around him.「是，兒子，你需要甚麼？」就是這樣，他會一下子出現在你面前。媽媽一叫，他就趕過去。還有那數不清的時刻：幾乎任何人開口，他都隨傳隨到，去輔導、栽培、教導他們。他把自己的一切，都給了身邊的每一個人。

39:46Dad was full of life. Some say with married couples, one of them is a golden retriever and the other is a cat, and my dad is the golden retriever. He is the quintessential extrovert. He's guaranteed to strike up a conversation with anyone, and completely fearless in the life [unclear] of social norms.爸爸充滿活力。有人說，夫妻之中，總有一個是金毛尋回犬，另一個是貓；我爸爸就是那隻金毛尋回犬。他是最典型的外向的人，跟誰都一定能攀談起來，面對〔不確定〕社交常規也全然無懼。

40:17He loved standing in lines. He loved to queue, because he had a captive audience behind him and in front of him. And in time, Sunny and I learned to see this, and we had to sometimes save people from him, because they got stuck next to him.他喜歡排隊，真的很愛排隊，因為排在他後面和前面的人都走不掉，正好當他的聽眾。日子久了，Sunny 和我也學會了留意這種情況，有時還得出手把人從他身邊救出來，因為他們被困在他旁邊，脫不了身。

40:57But Dad exuded positivity. I don't think he could help it, because when you experience the trauma and pain that he experienced, [inaudible] makes sense. I think he wanted to show people that nothing is impossible. It's perspective.但爸爸渾身散發着樂觀積極的氣息。我想他是不由自主的，因為當你經歷過他所經歷的創傷和痛苦，〔聽不清楚〕就說得通了。我想他是要讓人看見：沒有不可能的事，全在乎你用甚麼眼光去看。

41:24To Sunny and me, Dad was close to perfect. He was left-handed, so, believe it or not, his left-handed skyhook in basketball in our driveway was unstoppable. He and Sunny shared a love of shopping, and his taste in shoes was impeccable.在 Sunny 和我眼中，爸爸近乎完美。他是左撇子，所以，信不信由你，他在我們家門前車道上打籃球時，那一手左手天勾根本無人能擋。他和 Sunny 都熱愛購物，而他挑鞋的眼光更是無可挑剔。

41:53But he wasn't absolutely perfect. His penhold backhand in ping pong could use some work. Right-handers, you can exploit it by going real hard on your forehand to his right. That's a tip for my table tennis people, if you play him in heaven.不過他也不是十全十美。他打乒乓球的直拍反手還有待改進。右手持拍的朋友，你們可以用正手狠狠地攻他的右邊，專打這個弱點。這是給各位乒乓球同好的小貼士，假如你們將來在天堂跟他對打的話。

42:20Dad was not easily impressed with food. We would ask him, "Dad, how do you like the food?" and his answer was almost always, "It's okay." But that also meant he was a really good gauge of when something was truly, truly delicious. Because if he said it was good, then you knew it was really good.爸爸對食物不容易滿意。我們問他：「爸爸，這些菜你覺得怎樣？」他的回答幾乎永遠是：「還可以。」但這也代表，他是一把很準的尺，量得出甚麼才是真真正正的美味。因為只要他說好吃，你就知道那是真的好吃。

42:47That's a lot of things. But above all things, Rev. Dr. David Tsang was my dad. And what might not come across in his biography and all the history that's on the website—it's just a lot of facts and stuff—is that his love was not shallow. It was as deep as it was wide. He loved my mom, Sunny and me to the depths of his being.說了這麼多。但最重要的是，曾大衛博士牧師是我的爸爸。他的生平傳記，還有網站上的種種歷史，說到底只是一大堆事實和資料，未必能讓人看得出來的是：他的愛並不膚淺，有多廣，就有多深。他愛我媽媽、Sunny 和我，愛到他生命的最深處。

43:20Nothing made him more proud and full of joy than his family, his children, his grandchildren. When he saw one of us, every time, it was like lighting up a firework of happiness on Chinese New Year. An explosion of happiness. Joy, pure joy, at the sight of his family.沒有甚麼比他的家人、他的兒女、他的孫兒，更叫他自豪、更令他滿心喜樂。每一次他見到我們任何一個，都像在農曆新年點燃了一枚快樂的煙花。快樂一下子迸發出來。喜樂，純粹的喜樂，只因為看見了家人。

43:47Dad was not your typical reserved Asian dad. He made it a point to tell each of us that he loved us, every day, multiple times a day. We were showered with hugs and kisses.爸爸不是那種典型的、含蓄內斂的亞洲爸爸。他特意每天告訴我們每一個人他愛我們，而且一天說好幾次。我們總是被他的擁抱和親吻包圍。

44:05If you know my mom and Sunny, they do not really like hugs and kisses. They are the cats. But I think they learned to love it, love it from Dad [unclear]. I'm not sure what the psychology is behind this, but I'd like to think that he was making up for his childhood.認識我媽媽和 Sunny 的人都知道，她們其實不太喜歡擁抱和親吻；她們就是貓。但我想，她們後來也學會了喜歡，喜歡爸爸〔不確定〕給她們的擁抱和親吻。我不確定這背後的心理是甚麼，但我願意相信，他是在彌補自己的童年。

44:36I know I'm getting long, but I'd like to finish with probably the largest challenge and most dramatic story in his life. When Dad was 23, in China, he saw the Red Guards take over his church, and he prayed to God, "If you help me leave China and get to Hong Kong, then my life is yours and I will work for you."我知道我講得有點長了，但我想用他一生中大概最大的挑戰、也是最富戲劇性的一段故事來作結。爸爸二十三歲那年，在中國，他目睹紅衛兵佔據了他的教會，就向神禱告說：「若祢幫助我離開中國、到達香港，我的生命就是祢的，我要為祢作工。」

45:01And at that time people were assigned to a city or village, and if you were found in the wrong place, you're going to be imprisoned or executed. If you tried to leave China, you would be imprisoned or executed.那個年代，每個人都被編配到指定的城市或鄉村；若被發現身在不該在的地方，就會被監禁或處決。若試圖離開中國，同樣會被監禁或處決。

45:15So in order to escape, he planned to swim eight hours to Hong Kong, but they're inland, so he has to get to the ocean first. And so it was three days of dangerous, perilous travel through the bush, because you couldn't travel by the road.所以，為了逃出去，他計劃游八個小時的水到香港；但他們身處內陸，他得先到海邊。於是先要花三天時間，在荒野叢林中艱險跋涉，因為不能走大路。

45:34And unfortunately, in his first attempt, he was caught by the guards and immediately placed in prison, near the ocean. But at that time he was thinking it was a complete failure, and they sent him back to the village, and he was resigned to just stay in China, until one of his friends wanted to escape, and he was like, "Escape with me." And he just kept asking and asking and asking.不幸的是，第一次嘗試，他就被守衛抓住，立刻被關進監牢，就在海邊附近。但當時他覺得這是徹底的失敗。他們把他遣送回村，他也認命了，打算就這樣留在中國。直到他的一位朋友想要逃走，對他說：「跟我一起逃吧。」而且一次又一次不斷地來問他。

46:07Eventually my dad relented. But this time he was extra careful. He made sure that he went swimming every day and practiced swimming miles and miles in the river to be prepared. And he also studied the stars to figure out how to navigate when you're out in the open water, from the [inaudible].最後爸爸終於答應了。但這一次他加倍小心。他堅持每天去游泳，在河裏一里又一里地練習長泳，作好準備。他還研究星象，好弄清楚到了茫茫大海上要怎樣辨別方向〔聽不清楚〕。

46:33And he described traveling three days through the bush as not walking but crawling on his hands and knees, only in the middle of the night. During the day they would hide under the bushes and stay [inaudible] until it turned dark again. They had no tools, and it was bush, so they physically tore bushes apart with their hands. Most bushes were thorny, so by the end of it they were just all bloodied up [unclear].他形容那三天穿越叢林的路程，不是走，而是手腳並用地爬，而且只能在深夜行動。白天他們就躲在灌木叢下，待在那裏〔聽不清楚〕，直到天再黑下來。他們沒有任何工具，四周又盡是灌木叢，只能徒手把灌木硬生生扯開。灌木大多長滿了刺，所以到最後，他們全都渾身是血〔不確定〕。

47:09And when they finally reached the water, you can't just swim. They were careful to enter with no noise. The way you had to swim was sort of like a horse, like treading water without bringing any of your limbs above the water, because you don't want white splashing. And he had some belongings, so you had to tie the belongings to the top of his head. And slowly and quietly they made it from China to Hong Kong.當他們終於到了水邊，也不是說游就能游。他們小心翼翼地下水，不發出半點聲響。游的方式有點像馬，像踩水那樣，手腳都不能露出水面，因為不能濺起白色的水花。他還帶着一些隨身物品，只好把東西綁在頭頂上。就這樣，緩慢地、悄悄地，他們從中國游到了香港。

47:42There were guards on the lookout on both the Chinese side and the Hong Kong side. They were ordered to shoot on sight, so it was not uncommon to see bodies of failed freedom swimmers floating in the water.中國那邊和香港那邊，都有守衛在瞭望把守。他們奉命見人就開槍，所以看見那些投奔自由卻失敗了的泳者，屍體浮在水面，並不是罕見的事。

48:02And when they eventually reached the shoreline of Hong Kong, the entire shoreline was fenced off with wire fencing. And so they had to seek a way to get on, and they found a little hole. And eventually they did, and they knew it was Hong Kong when they saw a sign that was in English.當他們終於游到香港的岸邊，整條海岸線卻都被鐵絲網圍了起來。他們只好設法找路上岸，後來找到了一個小洞，最後終於上了岸。他們看見一塊寫着英文的牌子，才知道這裏就是香港。

48:23So then he went to the first house he saw and knocked on the door, a random house, and the person didn't open the door and asked, "Who are you?" and refused to let them in because they were strangers. Then my dad thought of the most well-known person from his village and said, "Do you know Dr. Tsang Kong Kow [unclear]?" And miraculously this person was from the exact same village, opened the door, and that was the first step to my dad's freedom and a new life.於是他走到他看見的第一間屋子去敲門，只是隨便一戶人家。屋裏的人沒有開門，只問：「你們是誰？」因為他們是陌生人，不肯讓他們進去。這時爸爸想起了他村裏最有名望的人，就說：「你認識 Dr. Tsang Kong Kow〔不確定〕嗎？」奇妙的是，這個人竟然正是來自同一條村，就把門打開了。那就是爸爸走向自由、走向新生命的第一步。

49:03Dad was born in 1943, the year of the Water Horse, according to the Chinese [unclear], which I think is fitting. He swam like a horse in water for freedom here on earth.爸爸生於一九四三年，按中國人的說法〔不確定〕是水馬年，我覺得十分貼切：他像一匹馬在水中泅泳，為的是在這地上的自由。

49:25Dad passed away last Friday, in the year of the Fire Horse, 2026. I wonder if he did that on purpose. I'd like to think he was taken up to God like Elijah, who was taken up in a chariot of fire and horses of fire, for freedom and eternity.爸爸在上星期五離世，正值火馬年，二〇二六年。我在想，他是不是故意的。我願意相信，他是像以利亞一樣被接到神那裏去；以利亞是乘着火車火馬被接上去的，為的是自由與永恆。

49:57But I think this time, when Dad arrived, there was no barbed wire to welcome him. This time, when he knocked on the door, Grandpa and Grandma and his brothers opened the door, and they must have said, "Welcome home. We've been waiting for you."但我想，這一次爸爸到達的時候，再沒有帶刺的鐵絲網迎接他。這一次，當他敲門，爺爺、嫲嫲和他的兄弟們把門打開了，他們一定是說：「歡迎回家，我們一直在等你。」

50:28The memorial slideshow plays on the screen while Oceans (Where Feet May Fail) is sung live.螢幕上播放生平回顧影片，現場同時獻唱《Oceans (Where Feet May Fail)》。

56:06A second song, Tell Me, How Is Heaven, is sung live as the slideshow continues.生平回顧影片繼續播放，現場獻唱第二首歌曲《Tell Me, How Is Heaven》。

1:00:12I've missed my Uncle David, and now I'll miss him for a little bit longer, but I praise God that [inaudible] many days, soon we'll see you again. Shall we stand for our closing prayer?我一直很想念我的 Uncle David，如今還要再多想念他一陣子；但我讚美神，因為〔聽不清楚〕日子，我們很快便會再相見。請大家站立，我們一同作結束的禱告。

1:00:26The congregation stands for the closing prayer.會眾起立，同作結束禱告。

1:00:28Shall we pray. Heavenly Father, you are good. Even in days like this that are bittersweet, you are good. We are not those who mourn without hope. We know that we have a living hope through you. Thank you for this challenging day. Thank you for the life of my Uncle David. Thank you for what he meant to us and all the seeds that continue to grow up in us.我們一同禱告。天父，祢是美善的。即使在這樣悲喜交集的日子，祢仍是美善的。我們不是那些沒有指望而哀傷的人；我們知道，藉着祢，我們有活潑的盼望。為這艱難的一天感謝祢。為我 Uncle David 的一生感謝祢。為他對我們的意義，也為一切仍在我們裏面繼續成長的種子感謝祢。

1:01:09Father, I want to pray a prayer of blessing, Father God, over everybody here. May you bless them with your Holy Spirit, the great Comforter, Father God, that can give us a peace that transcends all of earthly understanding. Fill us with your love. Love for you and one another. And help us to live with that love on mission, the way that my Uncle David, a dad, a son, a husband, grandfather, friend, taught us to [inaudible].父啊，父神啊，我要為在場的每一位獻上祝福的禱告。願祢以祢的聖靈、那位偉大的保惠師賜福給他們；父神啊，祂能賜給我們那超越世上一切理解的平安。求祢以祢的愛充滿我們，就是愛祢、又彼此相愛的愛。也求祢幫助我們帶着這份愛，活出使命，正如我的 Uncle David，這位爸爸、兒子、丈夫、祖父、朋友，教導我們去〔聽不清楚〕。

1:01:46Father, I pray for peace. I pray for love. I pray for strength and perseverance, Father God, for the family as they continue into the next season, Lord Jesus. And may the peace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with you all wherever you go. In Jesus' name we pray. Amen.父啊，我祈求平安，我祈求愛。父神啊，當這一家人繼續走進人生的下一個季節，我為他們祈求力量和堅忍，主耶穌。願主耶穌基督的平安，無論你們往哪裏去，都與你們眾人同在。我們奉耶穌的名禱告，阿們。

1:02:24Thank you so much, on behalf of Cook-Walden and Reverend Dr. David, and thank you so much for supporting one another. At this time we are going to transition into the cemetery. Myself and my staff are going to transition him out through this way. We will be coming around in a black Cadillac, followed by the hearse, and then the family car will follow behind. It's a black Escalade.我謹代表 Cook-Walden 和曾大衛博士牧師，衷心感謝各位，也十分感謝大家彼此扶持。現在我們要轉往墓園。我和我的同事會護送他從這邊出去。我們會乘一輛黑色 Cadillac 繞過來，後面跟着靈車，然後家屬的車會跟在後面，那是一輛黑色的 Escalade。

1:02:53If everybody else would make their way to their cars and just look out for that line of three black cars and file right behind the Escalade, we will meet all outside, and then I will have my pallbearers join me behind the coach. Okay? Thank you so much.請其他各位前往自己的車，留意那一列三輛黑色的車，然後緊跟在 Escalade 後面排好。我們在外面會合，之後我會請各位扶靈者到靈車後面與我會合。好嗎？非常感謝大家。

1:03:10The room begins to leave for the procession to the cemetery. The recording ends shortly afterwards.眾人開始離場，準備隨車隊前往墓園。錄影隨後結束。
