It is a real tragedy, someone call it a curse. It’s like JFK and JFK Junior. Father and son are resting side by side in the graveyard. Both of them died young.

I had a chance to visit Bruce and Brandon Lee’s tombstone when I was in Seattle. Mark and his friend, Truc gave me a tour to the place that these two legendaries resting their life forever. It was such a beautiful and quiet cemetery. I find a cemetery is a good place to sit down and think about life. To think about what we have done and what we have not done in my life, what is the purpose of my life, what kinds of life I want to live and to remind me that one day I will leave this world as well. It reminds me that my youth does not guarantee that I will have longer time to live than those elderly.

Everything is so uncertain.

Their graves were decorated with all flowers by people who still loved them. On Brandon Lee’s tombstone, there was a very beautiful inscription. I was deeply touched by the delicate thoughts in that inscription.
It was so peaceful. I took a deep breathe and realized that I was still alive. I asked myself how many more times would I let myself not appreciate my life? How many more times would I have a chance to sing a song while I was walking on the street with friends? How many more times would I see the blue sky and the turquoise sea? How many more times would I talk and see someone I love?

I do not have an answer but no matter how many more times I have, I will make the best out of it.

I prayed for their soul to have an eternal happiness in some places far from suffering.

Inscription on Brandon Lee's grave stone

"Because we don't know when we will die, we get to think of life as an inexhaustible well. Yet everything happens a certain number of times, and a very small number, really. How many more times will you remember a certain afternoon of your childhood, some afternoon that's so deeply a part of your being that you can't even conceive of your life without it? Perhaps four or five times more. Perhaps not even that. How many more times will you watch the full moon rise? Perhaps twenty. And yet it all seems limitless."
