“A good friend (Evelyn) who passed away not too long ago was a pescatarian, so I decided to be pescatarian for her birthday month of April as a dedication to her.
Since I was in my 20s I aspired to turn vegetarian one day, but it is near impossible… My longest record was only 49 days.
If it isn’t for a special cause, I would never succeed. I needed a strong motivation and this is my gift to her. If I kill less animals, the merit is mine and I am dedicating my merits to Evelyn’s afterlife.
When I told Dennis (Evelyn’s husband) that I will lead this #PescatarianEve drive for a whole month, he agreed that it can be easily done; but he also said maybe not many people will join for such a long stretch.
Well, whether they join me for a meal, or a week, or a month, or a lifetime, it is entirely up to them… Each meal is a dedication of merits to Evelyn while it is a spiritual blessing for anyone who makes it. Better yet, go vegetarian.” – Poesy Liang
Poesy’s friend is the well-loved marathon runner Evelyn Ang who lost her life after a hit-and-run accident.
