我见 我思 我闻


寒风凄雨 闻人离去

-- 追悼王大熙博士及艺术家王维力


正当世界各地角落遭受新冠疫情不断肆虐之时, 美洲大陆亦遭到病毒之空前浩劫, 正是哀嚎遍地之时, 我们非常悲慟地送走了华裔医疗专家王大熙博士及名雕刻艺朮家王维力先生。


王大熙教授係何明通教授之夫人, 双人结縭已超过半个世纪 ,他们皆是上一代留美学生之表率 ,终身服务於安德森癌症硏究中心 ,取得了无数学术及癌症研究之成就奬, 王博士出生书香世家 ,早年毕业於台湾师范大学 ,来美后获奥立岗大学博士学位, 终身致力於学术及医疗研究工作, 外曾祖父翁同龢曾任晚清重臣 ,父亲王祖祥早年留美曾任国民政府内部司长。

王教授最重要是热心助人, 凡是要到安德森癌症医院去治疗的华人同胞, 她都会尽全力帮助, 可谓是菩萨心肠的大善人。


就在上週离世的雕塑家王维力更是世界级的艺术家, 早年毕业於中央艺术学院, 曾经為孙中山 、宋庆龄塑像, 来美后更為老布什等美国政界 ,电影艺人塑造数百座铜像 ,在诸多艺术馆 机场及广场所陈列收藏, 最难得可贵的是 ,王老师近年来在他位於休斯敦国际区的私宅, 免费教授中外学生每週定期教授雕塑课, 每年并带领学生们走遍世界各大山川 ,尤其是大陆河山让大家体验中西文化之精髓, 多年前我们有幸参加王老师之师生作品大展, 台上下多半是金髪碧眼的老外 ,他们对王老师真是做到尊师重道的感人场面, 王老师多年来通过艺术来传递中华文化, 他是真正的文化交流大使。


今夜又不断传来新冠疫情之恶耗 ,窗外寒风再起, 想到王博士和王老师离我们远去, 心中再次激起悲慟之情 ,在她们一生中已经走完了精彩的人生旅程, 就如诗句中所说 ,他们没有带走一片彩云 。但愿她们在天国中永远微笑, 因為他们已经為社会尽力了。

Remembering two Chinese- American celebrities


When the coronavirus pandemic attacked our nation, two of our most prominent Chinese-Americans in Houston, Texas, passed away.


Professor Daisy Wang Ho was a long time researcher and professor at Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center. Dr. Wang came from Taiwan in the early 60’s after she earned her PhD degree. She married Dr. Ben Ho and they moved to Houston. Since then, they were married more than one-half century. Daisy had such a warm heart for helping the people who needed to be in the hospital. Many people were also assisted by her grandfather Weng Tonghe (1830-1904). He was a Chinese Confucian scholar and imperial tutor who lived in the Qing Dynasty. In 1856 he came to the prestigious Hamlin Academy. In the last fifty years Dr. Wang was involved in many community service activities and donated her time and money to help many needy people.


In the same week we also lost one of the most famous sculptor artist, Willy Wang. He graduated from the sculpture department of Beijing Central Academy of Fine Art in 1962 and moved to America in 1981.


His works included a marble sculpture of Madame Sun Yat-Sen, a bronze cast of the late President George Bush, a bronze bust of Cary Grant and “Jesus Healing” for the Methodist Hospital.


Aside from his active artwork, Mr. Wang also devotedly taught art classes in his Houston studio free-of-charge. He also went on tours with many of his students and traveled to different countries around the world. Many years ago we attended one of his student’s party and display of all their artworks. Willy Wang was really the East and West culture ambassador in our community.


We are so very sad that both of them have left us and gone to Heaven. They should be very satisfied. They both had full lives because of their contribution to our society.


We send our condolences to both of their families. All the people really loved them.
