After learning of the death of Dr Tse, I was in tears. I found myself waiting for news reports on TV for more details about her and her background, weeping on every occasion. I have never behaved like this all my life and I do not know why. But I am very, very sure of one thing: you, Dr Tse, represented the greatest values of humanity and love. May you rest in peace and love forever. ??

Dr Tse sacrificed herself in the war against Sars. Her bravery and selflessness have deeply touched our hearts. She knew working with Sars patients was a dangerous job, but she did not shirk her duty. She bravely went to the frontline. Although Dr. Tse has left us, she let us know the meaning of love. She taught us not to think only about ourselves, but to love one another. Let this be our final salute to Dr Tse. ??

Dr Tse?s selflessness and supreme sacrifice will be dearly remembered. Her family in general and her mother in particular has lost a daughter who was a brave and dedicated frontline medical doctor. It is to be hoped that a lesson will be learned from this Sars outbreak by those in authority. ??
