"I just want people to know that he was a nice guy," Matty said. "He was very nice, very kind to his friends. He was a good student His life wasn't easy. He had to make money for himself. He had to support himself He had to work in the daytime, study in the evening. He has homework, he has examinations, his life was pretty hard. He had to be all by himself."
"The last 30 days have been the most difficult time in our life," Lin's mother said in a eulogy. "We lived in the agony of grief of losing a loved one and missing him desperately every day."
She described her son as a kind, disciplined, sincere, open minded and mild-tempered.
"We wept and wept until our tears were exhausted, our voices were choked and we could not get a word out. Our lovely son, poor child, where are you now? Where are you? Your mom and dad miss you. We miss you very much, so much."
