Liu Kai Chi was joined by over a thousand fellow churchgoers as they shared a rather unusual Father[']s Day. As well as two shopping mall appearances, Uncle Chi also took his wife Chan Man Yee and two sons to a Cheung Sha Wan church to take part in a “Give Dad a Gift” event.As Man Yee listened to the sermon about how God gave up his son for mankind, she was wiping her eyes with tissue. Then when they showed some footage of her late son Man Lok, she joined the audience in smiling at his antics.
Before Uncle Chi arrived, Man Yee had shared her thoughts with the congregation, saying that in her darkest moment, she had questioned her faith, but then she learned to let go, because this was the inspiration she gained from Lok Lok’s passing. As Uncle Chi arrived, she invited this great father onto the stage and they said that with their two sons and Lok Lok in their hearts, they will always be a family of five.
