In Memory of Dr. Philip S.L. Beh
永遠懷念馬宣立醫生

It is with profound sorrow that we announce the passing of our cherished Associate Director, Dr. Philip Beh. For over two decades at CSRP, Philip stood as a beacon of wisdom, compassion, and unwavering dedication—a steadfast guardian of dignity at life’s most sacred threshold. 

 

With the precision of a scalpel, he revealed hidden truths; with boundless compassion, he eased the transition between life and death. At the dissection table, he was not merely a seeker of answers, but a guardian of reverence, teaching us to cherish every life and shelter every soul. He faced the unknown with a gentle smile, dispelling sorrow with quiet wisdom, reminding us that death is not an end, but a step toward deeper understanding. 

 

Philip’s generosity knew no bounds. He shared his knowledge freely, enriched us with his stories, and welcomed us with his finest wine. One bottle remains—a cherished symbol of his warmth—now unshared, yet his spirit endures in every lesson taught and every life uplifted. His passion for teaching and his contagious generosity set an example that will forever inspire us. 

 

Now, as he lays down his white coat, Philip is free as the wind. His legacy—forged in wisdom, mercy, and quiet courage—will guide us to honor life, face sorrow with strength, and move forward in hope. May you rest in eternal peace, dear friend, serene and unburdened. May you speak of life and death with the same grace, laughter, and profound humanity that forever defined you. 

 

—In Memoriam, from your colleagues at the HKJC Centre for Suicide Research and Prevention, The University of Hong Kong.

 

我們懷著深重不捨告知:與我們並肩廿載的副總監馬宣立醫生,已安然離世。在CSRP的歲月中,他立於生命的最前線,以智慧之光守護尊嚴,用溫暖之心照亮幽暗。 他手中的柳葉刀,精準探尋生命真相;心中的慈悲,溫柔撫平生死遺憾。在解剖台前,他不僅是解惑的醫者,更是生命的守護人——教會我們敬重每一條生命,庇護每一道靈魂。面對未知的死亡,他總帶著從容微笑,以睿智化解悲傷,告訴我們:死亡並非終點,而是理解生命的另一扇窗。 

 

他的慷慨如春陽,毫無保留地傳授知識,生動地訴說故事,更常與我們分享珍藏美酒。如今尚餘一瓶未啟的佳釀,銘刻著相聚的溫暖。雖再不能與您共飲,但您教導的智慧、溫暖過的人心,將永存世間。 

 

此刻您卸下白袍,如清風自在遠行。而您留下的珍貴禮物——那份智慧、仁慈與勇氣——將永遠指引我們:敬畏生命,堅強面對哀傷,懷抱希望前行。 

 

願您在永恆的寧靜中安息。 

 

願您於彼岸天地,依舊帶著我們熟悉的優雅笑語, 

以您獨有的方式,繼續訴說生命的故事。

    About the Centre

    Our Projects

    CSRP carries out leading research into the causes and prevention of self-harm and suicide, and collaborates with local and international partners to promote the Public Health Approach to suicide prevention. The Centre also coordinates training and interventions to promote good mental health in the community. It is also Hong Kong’s principle suicide surveillance centre, monitoring self-harm and suicide trends and providing accurate information to media and policymakers.

    Academic Papers

    The Centre is made up of a multi-disciplinary team of researchers and practitioners with interests including economic inequality, education, population control, media reporting on suicide, and internet usage. The Centre publishes peer-reviewed papers for international journals such as the BMJ and Social Science and Medicine, and is regularly consulted by local and international organisations as an authority on suicide prevention.

    Guidelines & Manuals

    In an effort to support and promote mental well-being to the public, the CSPR published guidelines and manuals for schools, media, service providers, clients and families. Globally, suicide takes the lives of nearly one million people each year. CSRP recognises that tackling this problem requires both an individualised approach to supporting those at high risk, and also community-wide efforts that address conditions associated with suicidal tendencies and that improve societal wellbeing.
