A local music therapist, dedicated to helping students with special needs, died on Wednesday (July 15) of lung cancer at 45 years old.
Eta Lauw was diagnosed with stage-four lung cancer in May, reported Lianhe Zaobao.
Lauw’s husband, Liu Yonglun (transliteration), a 44-year-old arts administrator, told the Chinese newspaper that his wife’s passing was sudden.
He described Lauw as someone who always had a strong sense of mission and said that the couple shared an emotional bond for those with special needs.
Lauw and Liu reportedly ran the Harmony Community Club, a choir for people with special needs. The former would also provide free guidance to a Chinese-language choir for those with dementia every Monday, before her passing.
Lauw was a lecturer for the master of music therapy programme at Lasalle College of the Arts, according to the school’s website.
