不知Andrew怎樣得罪了這位自稱不認識他的人，在這篇文……悼Andrew Kan的留言可以挖南華早報在1995年11月23日的報導來問我看法。如果有十冤九仇活著不去算，不如留待同歸故土時清賬。不是有心人，又怎會20年前的材料也翻出來。我寫文悼念故友，也無歌功頌德，輕描淡寫一點瑣事，誌淡淡哀思，又何必咄咄逼人？95年的指控，是被告以律師失職作為上訴理由，今時今日這種上訴理由也很常見，連資深大律師一樣會成為指責對象。這種指責，成功的時候不多。就算有過失，人生路上，誰無瘕疵？又有誰沒與荊棘擦身而過？人已歿，還要鞭撻，情何以堪！若衝著我來，我未死喎，要鬧做乜唔鬧我啫？今天醫生説我血壓偏高，我想因為我還有火，還有激盪的心，還為不平而鳴。

Obituary: Hong Kong barrister and feng shui master at heart of Nina Wang will case
Andrew Kan's most notable case of recent years involved the will of billionaire Nina Wang
A barrister and feng shui master at the heart of one of the city's most high-profile trials in recent years has died at the age of 57, two lawyers confirmed on Wednesday.
Andrew Kan represented another feng shui master, Tony Chan Chun-chuen, in the 2013 case in which Chan was convicted of forging the will of Asia's richest woman, Nina Wang Kung Yu-sum. Chan - who has since changed his name to Peter - is serving a 12-year sentence.
Lawrence Lok SC and another barrister who worked in the same chambers as Kan confirmed his death. He passed away at Pok Oi Hospital in Yuen Long, and is survived by a daughter.
Kan, who kept a relatively low profile despite a long and successful legal career, was himself a geomancer and "effective feng shui master", according to Lok, who called him a "dear friend".
Law Society president Stephen Hung Wan-shun said Kan was at one stage one of the few Chinese barristers who conducted trials at High Court level.
"Andrew is a very nice person. He is very senior in the field and a good counsel," Hung said.
Kan graduated from University College London with first class honours. He was admitted to the bar in England in 1983, and in Hong Kong the following year.
His most famous case was that of Chan. He told jurors that videos showing the former Chinachem head - who died of cancer in 2007 aged 69 - locking lips with his client and having his hands run all over her body were not degrading to her.
"In fact there is nothing degrading to Nina Wang. She was happy [in the video]. She was smiling," Kan told the court. "We see a person who lost her husband and had no children appearing in the video to be happy. What's the problem with that?"

May Andrew rest in peace and may everyone move on.
回覆刪除Yours is the Right Mindset
回覆刪除People will always judge other people. Sadly, even death cannot stop a person from being judged by other people. Just look at all the history books.
回覆刪除Indeed. History is the study of what people who are already dead had done (or failed to do) when they were still alive. Some historians are very harsh on people who are dead.
刪除what you do in life echos in eternity.
回覆刪除Historians will comment on what people have done, or failed to do, decades and centuries after people's death.
回覆刪除True. But doubt if any single historian will be interested in this though with "a long and successful legal career" but non-SC barrster.
刪除He may well get written into someone else's memoirs, and he would have no control over other people's assessment of him. Dead people, regrettably, cannot sue for libel.
刪除Are you guys serious about this historians stuff?
刪除We were exchanging our views on Andrew Kan's legacy, which is far from exemplary.
