I was very surprised because it was another unexpected thing. I traveled with the teacher, and I often had a meeting with the elderly who shared memories with them at the place where the teacher plays in various places, but I haven't seen the teacher for the past year because he's not feeling well. But I was also very embarrassed by the sudden news. During his lifetime, the teacher told our juniors the most about not only traveling and traveling, but also in private, that he wanted to be on stage until the end. I remember being a model for my juniors for the value of working steadily and faithfully. Sir, I will pray that you can relax in heaven" expressed his condolences.
