Condolence from Karen Ngai Hong Kong
I am very sad to know about the passing away of Maruyama-san. His leaving is definitely a great blow to the disability field not only in Japan, but also regionally and internationally.
May I use the following words to share with all who love and have been inspired by Maruyama-san.
(To the Tune of the Song, Twinkle Twinkle Little Star)
Maruyama-san, Maruyama-san
How I wonder who you are
You are a person of action
A man full of determination
Maruyama-san, Maruyama-san
How I wonder who you are
You work whole-heartedly for the disability field Your laughter, your humor, your influential speech are still so close and real
Maruyama-san, Maruyama-san
Surely we all know who you are
You are a fighter who fights for human rights A lover who loves all mankind
Maruyama-san, Maruyama-san
Surely we all know who you are
Though your days on the Earth are not long Your spirit has empowered us become very strong
Maruyama-san, Maruyama-san
Surely we all know who you are…
With my deepest condolence to the Maruyama family
Karen Ngai
