Rain + Sunshine + Angle = Rainbow

At seven thirty this morning, a rainbow appeared across the sky overhead the Prince of Wales Hospital.

It is rare to see a rainbow because it appears only at the time when light rain and sunshine come together. The sunlight should be shining at a certain angle so that it disperses into seven colours by refraction.

It is a good sign to the patients in the hospital because the colourful rainbow symbolizes that they will recover soon from their illness. I do hope that the people of Hong Kong can be healthier onwards starting from today!

It was such a beautiful rainbow, happy for you to have enjoyed it. Although it is comparatively common to see rainbow ( sometimes two together ) in Australia, it never fails to amaze us. It is a scientific phenomenon as you have mentioned, by the plan of God. He also used this to symbolise to Noah that He would never flood the world again. Yes, rainbow is always beautiful and a symbol of hope.

Hey, Kau Fu Kau Mo, you wrote what I would like to write here -- God's promise with mankind in Noah's time. Rainbow always reminds us Christians about God's grace to us. We do not need to be worthy in order to receive it... just when we are willing to open our hearts and receive...

Dad, have you heard of the song "彩虹下的約定"? It was a hit during SARS period... It was about this rainbow promise...

I like a rainbow because it is colourful as well as it looks like a bridge linking two pieces of land.

Yu Kin Keung, a dentist in SFO and a student of mine invited me to see the film "The Miracle Box" i.e. 天作之盒 in the first show at the cinema at Convention Centre. It was a touching love story about a female doctor who sacrificed her life during SARS period.

Choi Siu Fun and Tse Kwan Ho are the actress and actor respectively.
My student's role in the film is the head of hospital(醫院院長).

It was a wonderful film to the people of Hong Kong!
