Eulogy for Yuquan Lin from one of his grandchildren

When I was little, my grandfather was like my big friend who took me all over the mountains and hills to hunt for birds and taste the wild fruits of the mountains. At that time, this tall figure was my guide around Forestry Machinery Factory area where he worked. When I was in elementary school, all I wanted to see was my grandfather, and he would always take me to buy those toys that I longed for. In that not-so economically well-off era, you built a colorful childhood for me. The four-wheel drive toy cars you bought for me are still collection today. Later, you went to the United States, that long string of numbers from the cell phone has become a distant attachment. You always told me not to use chilly water to wash my face and take care of your health. You asked my mom to make duck soup for me. Later, the sound turned into a picture, or video and every time you told me - I am happy to see you. The three-year COVID cut off flights to China, but the longing for you to come back never faded. I remember the time when my mom and I saw you off, and I hugged you with tears in my eyes. I hated to see that aging and illness made your back bent I always smiled told you to get well, and gestured the OK sign with you, telling you that everything would be fine, and that when you came back, you must try the dishes I made in your new home. Not long ago, you opened your tired eyes, unwilling to hang up the call just quietly looking at me, but wrote what you wanted to say on your face. And now, that not tall but always smiling figure is in my dream now, and I believe you have always been with us, all the way forward.
