My father was rather tall for a
Chinese. He was more than six foot tall. I guess I seemed to take after
him when I was at primary and lower secondary schools. I was one of the
tallest boys in class.
However, I suffered a serious spinal ailment after Form Two. When I was discharged from a nearly two-year stay at the hospital, I found that I had not grown in height. The ailment had stunted my growth especially my lower limbs. I had remained at about the same height as when I was first admitted as a patient. The boys who were shorter than I when we were in Form Two had all overshot me in height. I had become one of the shortest boys in class. Although I was tall no more, it did not affect me in the least.
I have never felt that I was short in all my life. I have never really thought about it, either.
