March 11, 2010 (Stephen Chan's arrest for corruption by the ICAC), Mr. Chan and I both had some changes. Our relationship started changing, started getting better and it was also during this time that we both had the same experience and reflections. That moment when I opened the umbrella for Mr. Chan, it is not something to be praised, I was prepared for people to talk about me. However, as Mr. Chan's friend, it is normal to open an umbrella for him when it rains. I know he sees this event as a treasured moment. I will try my best to protect him! That day he got his hair done early in the morning, but it suddenly started raining, and I didn't want the rain to ruin his hair, Mr. Chan likes to be pretty... compared to me? Of course he likes to be pretty more than I do! In fact, Mr. Chan have many friends behind-the-scenes that are concerned about him. Some feel it's sensitive and isn't convenient to take action. So, just let someone who feels it's convenient to do so, and that is something I will reflect on in the future!
During the court trials, Mr. Chan had a large group of friends and professionals helping him piece everything together. At this time, Mr. Chan had the greatest willpower and EQ to face 3 weeks of being on trial. In the courtroom, Mr. Chan was very strong, but outside of the courtroom, he was very weak. He expressed his feelings of "being bullied", and that moment I felt awful. These words came out of someone who is strong, I felt even more awful... (red eyes) At the time did I cry? I will not tell you. I am a policeman, I have a mission to fight for his justice. The group of Mr. Chan supporters also worked really hard to help him win his justice back. It is because of this experience with Mr. Chan, our relationship got better, despite it being difficult to bear. I made him part of my family, and got approval from my mother too.
I was raised in a strict environment, I cannot just causally say someone is part of my family. In the early years, I acknowledged this one man as my father, and my mother heavily beat me. Today, I already acknowledged Mr. Chan as part of my family, and that is enough for me to bring Mr. Chan back to see my mom. On the day of 'meeting the parents', it was also the day I 'released' Mr. Chan, that time the arrest incident already happened. I was in a hurry to 'release' him. That day my mother was with me, Mr. Chan was already there, I introduced Mr. Chan to my mom and once she saw him, she treated him with great respect. She saw him as her 'half son', but at the same time she thought of him as an executive. The scene was quite interesting, very very funny.
Friendship is very strange, when you and another person become friends, then you will have to accept his/her history too. When it comes to work, Mr. Chan never helped me, nor do I allow such thing to happen. People describe me as part of the 'Stephen Party', I cannot control that and this is just a taste difference. There is no high or low in taste, just good or bad. I cannot change the taste of others, but it is just Mr. Chan will be his manager and I will continue to be the little artist I am. After all, I still haven't been treated well, is it because I'm in the 'Stephen Party'? Is that a blessing or a disaster? I am supporting myself! So what if it's a disaster?
