I can't believe it is already 30 years ago today that my mother succumbed to cancer. This is a portrait of her that I commissioned in May 1999 in Singapore, by a young artist from Shanghai, as a gift for my father. Little did I know at the time that this artist, who soon after dropped the name Rosina in favour of her given name Lu, would become my wife less than a year later.
