Boy's Dying Wish Realized in BookA 13-year-old boy's dying wish to have his paintings live on has been realized with the publication of a book dedicated to his art, reported the South China Morning Post Thursday.The work of Ray Cheung Wai-chung, who died of brain cancer in March last year, is featured in the book My Little Creation, which has been published by the Make-A-Wish Foundation. His mother Candice Cheung said it was her son's way of saying thank-you to those who loved and cared for him, according to the English-language daily. Ray began painting when he was five. The book is a collection of 30 of his works in oil, pastel, colored pencil, watercolors, charcoal and acrylic. They range from self-portraits to still life and landscapes. The book's preface, written by his aunt, Man Yee, on behalf of Ray, says "my wish is to use this collection of drawings to let everyone who cares about me know that I will miss them." Make-A-Wish Foundation project coordinator Heidi Wong Kam-man said Ray's wish displayed his giving nature. "It's not a wish for himself, he was a very generous boy and when he saw the book he was satisfied and happy," the paper quoted her as saying. |
