石家豪:「2003年秋,我在美國的一個藝術村,10月至11月期間下了兩場雪,是我生平首次看見真雪。11月某日晚上,在檢查電郵時,在香港網站上見到一則新聞——填詞人林振強癌病逝世。我後來走在雪地上,心情沉重,腦中空白。對冰冷的天氣竟無感覺。林振強是香港粵語流行曲填詞人,也寫雜文,也作漫畫。我最早認知他的作品是1981年,那年我還是小學六年級,林子祥唱的《三人行》。這首歌成為我這輩子的聖歌。林振強的歌詞時而調皮,更多時是情深。他的創作為我啓蒙,他也是我時常念記的人物。」
The artist Wilson Shieh recalled: “In 2003, I spent the fall in the United States as an artist of residence. Between October and November, there were two snow storms. It was the first time I saw snow in my life. One night in November, when I was checking my email, I came across a news headline on a Hong Kong website that read “Lyricist Richard Lam died of cancer”. My heart was heavy after reading the news. My mind went blank and I aimlessly walked along a path covered with snow, despite that it was freezing cold outside. Richard Lam was a Cantopop lyricist and writer. He also drew comics. I first got to know his name when I listened to a song written by him Saam Yan Hang (literally Three People Walking) in 1981 when I was a Primary 6 schoolboy. It becomes my favourite song throughout my life. The lyrics written by Richard Lam are sometimes playful, yet affectionate as always. His lyrics inspire my art creations, and I miss him from time to time.”
