I want to honor you Xibin for being in our lives. You are one of the kindest, humblest, and most considerate young gentleman I have ever known, both on the badminton court and off. You set an example, a high standard for us to follow at our daily badminton encounters in that you were so considerate of others and just a true joy to be around. One of the many things I admired about you was that you never shied away from partnering with the older or weaker player, such as myself; your enthusiasm remained unbridled, and you made it fun for all of us. I will always remember that about you. But most of all I will just remember what a delightful presence you were, and how you enriched our lives. I will miss you very much. My heart goes out to your wife, your children, your family, and all those who loved you. With fondness and affection, Tom Des Brisay
