During this time, he met and married the love of his life, Pui Hing. They moved to Hong Kong after the war and were blessed with six children. Yin Sit was an accomplished teacher and principal throughout his career. He loved to learn and could usually be found reading history, Chinese philosophy and current events in a variety of newspapers. He liked to be impeccably dressed and punctual for every outing. After retirement, he enjoyed traveling to parts of Asia, Australia and Europe. When he moved to Canada, he liked spending time walking with new friends and his family living in Canada. His family would like to thank the staff of the Wing Kei Greenview – 3rd Floor for the kind and compassionate care they showed their father.
