Quotes of see through:
“You can’t go on “seeing through” things forever. The whole point of seeing through something is to see something through it. To “see through” all things is the same as not to see.”
― C.S. Lewis, The Abolition of Man
“Whoever can see through all fear will always be safe.”
Tao Te Ching quotes
“Knowing others is intelligence; knowing yourself is true wisdom. Mastering others is strength; mastering yourself is true power. If you realize that you have enough, you are truly rich.”
Tao Te Ching quotes
Information about Eason Chan:
Eason Chan Yik-shun (陳奕迅) is a prominent male singer in Hong Kong’s music industry. Undoubtedly one of the most dominant male singers in the post-1997 era of Hong Kong music industry. Eason Chan has been praised by Time magazine as a front runner in the next generation of Cantopop. He is considered by some to be Hong Kong’s third “god of song” after Samuel Hui and Jacky Cheung.
His Cantonese album U87 was nominated by Time Magazine as “Five Asian Albums Worth Buying” in 2005. Eason Chan was the big winner at the prestigious Golden Melody Awards in 2003 and 2009. In 2003, he won “Best Male Singer” and “Album of the Year awards” for his work in Mandarin album “Special Thanks To…”. In 2009, Chan won “Album of the Year” again for his work in Mandarin album “Don’t Want to Let Go”.
Chan is the son of Chan Kau-tai, a former housing official of the Hong Kong administration sacked after being proven corrupted.[1] Chan was sent to the United Kingdom for study at the age of 12. He attended St. Joseph’s kindergarten, St. Joseph’s Primary School in Hong Kong, Dauntsey’s School in Wiltshire, England and later Kingston University majoring in architecture. Chan returned to Hong Kong before the completion of his degree to participate in the 1995 New Talent Singing Awards Competition. He won first place. Immediately after his victory, Capital Artists signed a contract with him, ending his future career as an architect while launching his successful career in music.
In 2003, Chan’s father, who was Hong Kong Housing Department’s chief building services engineer, came under investigation of the Independent Commission Against Corruption for taking bribes. In early 2004, he was found guilty, and sentenced to seven years in jail and fined Hong Kong $2.6 million for accepting more than HK$3 million in bribes.[2]
Chan married his longtime girlfriend Hilary Tsui (former TVB actress) in 2006. His daughter Constance Chan was born on October 4, 2004. Constance Chan’s name was given by Eason’s good friend and famous songwriter Wyman Wong. Chan gave up smoking after the birth of his daughter. He reportedly did it for Constance and the health of his voice. However, in 2007, he admitted in his concert that he has resumed smoking due to stress from his then ongoing “Moving On Stage” world tour.
On December 9, 2009, Eason carried the 2010 Olympic Torch through the downtown of Montreal, effectively becoming the only person of Chinese descent to carry both the Summer and Winter Olympic torch.
