Young Henry Ku

Young Henry Ku 2 Senior Scout Nov 1953Presented to Royalty 

Here is a picture of me as a senior scout back in 1953 Sports Day.
【wow!古昌,完全不像你!你是否借了別人的相片?譚溥】

In the first one, I was far too young for anyone but myself to be able to recognize me. Even Klaus who sent me the picture did not know I was in the picture. I put a red H on me. It was taken at Government House because 11th Kowloon won both the Carlton Trophy and the Prince of Wales Banner in the same year and was honored at Government House as the Governor’s Group. Big face.

The other one, unfortunately only shows my ass as I was presented to HRH Princess Alexandra as a representative of HK Scouts. Tam Po and Greg, I think, were there, too. We were trained personally by Henry Ma how to behave. Only dip our head as a bow, don’t put out your hand to shake until Royalty puts out hers, and don’t turn our back afterward but step back before turning and walking away.

《六尺巷》

六尺巷

清朝時期,宰相張廷玉家與一位姓葉的侍郎兩家相鄰而居,都要蓋房屋,但為了地皮發生了爭執。張宰相的母親便寫信到北京,要兒子出面干預。這位宰相看了來信,便回信給母親:
「千里家書只為牆,再讓三尺又何妨?萬里長城今猶在,不見當年秦始皇。」
母親看了信之後,立即把牆主動退後三尺;葉家見此情景,深感慚愧,也馬上把牆讓後三尺。這樣,張葉兩家的院牆之間,就形成了六尺寬的巷道,成了有名的「六尺巷」。
張廷玉失去的是祖傳的幾分宅地,換來的確是鄰里的和睦及流芳百世的美名。
人生中,寬容是一種無堅不摧的力量。
互相寬容的朋友一定百年同舟;互相寬容的夫妻一定千年共枕;互相寬容的社會一定和諧溫馨。
