Prostate Cancer Dept: A quarter of a century has passed since David came to Vancouverites' attention through an article by Denny Boyd in The . Before then, no one had heard of the Hong Kong immigrant; since then, David had become one of the most public and cherished figures in British Columbia, according to Vancouver Sun. My arguments in favour of meeting with Denny focused on the good that could come from publicizing the generosity of a recent immigrant from Hong Kong. David finally agreed to go in order to gain a platform to encourage other Chinese immigrants to use a portion of their wealth for charity and david Lam ended his battle with prostate cancer on Monday morning. I am in Shanghai, and my wife phoned to pass on the sad news. When Denny contacted David about the column, you wouldn't believe how difficult it was to persuade David to go to lunch with him. David went because I convinced him that in the mid-1980s in Vancouver it was important to demonstrate that Chinese immigrants donated to charity. As
reported in the news.
