Although words cannot undo a death, they can be a celebration of life. For all that Yock Lin has given to NUS Law in his lifetime and what he means to us, it is only right that we honour him for the person that he is: a person of immense generosity who shared his knowledge and wisdom with those he knew and worked with. Colleagues have described Yock Lin in a variety of ways – as both gentle and a gentleman, somebody who kept a low profile despite his many achievements, an insightful and brilliant academic, with a lovely baritone voice. However, they were unanimous in seeing him as knowledgeable and generous, always willing to give of himself to those around him.

雷军回忆，30多年前，他作为优秀学生代表，被授予当时武大最高的奖学金，足足两千元，是一个企业赞助的。他表示，对一个普通县城家庭出身的学生而言，这真的是一笔巨款。直到今天，他还清晰记得当时既激动又自豪的心情。当时，雷军就在心里暗暗发誓，“今天我领多少奖学金，将来要十倍、百倍、万倍还回来。”
一点感想：
如果别人欺负你，你却不敢反击，还有什么尊严可谈；
如果别人帮助你，你却无法回报，还有什么道义可讲。
固然有很多恶人，每天撕裂你的三观，突破你的下限，
诚然有许多善人，时常治愈你的灵魂，支撑你的底线。
我们要做的，不是欺软怕硬的懦夫或者持枪凌弱的帮凶；
我们要做的，就是惩恶扬善的勇士或者阻止暴行的侍卫。
