Bebe was only a year old but his career - improbably - spanned decades. Like many Chinese fighting fish he was drawn to idealistic causes early in life, fighting alongside the French resistance in Nazi-occupied Europe:
Even so, he was never one to hold a grudge. Many years later he played a pivotal role in the fall of the Berlin wall and the reunification of East and West Germany:
His proudest accomplishment, however, was his return to his ancestral China where he participated in the democratic protests of Tiananmen Square:
Bebe was quietly honored today in a private ceremony, as per his instructions:

have been reading your blogs for several days now...am totally loving this... quite witty and you make me laugh quite often.

=) B.
No one thought that it was odd that you and a bunch of co-workers were taking a camera into the restroom stalls?
Hey I think I should bookmark this blog!
I'm a complete stranger, but I've been following the fighting fish saga. His life and death will touch us all! How brave and courageous he was in the blender!

My condolences...
And man this was funny!
And again, I'm very sorry for your loss..
I just heard. I'm so sorry.
Bebe saved my life in Korea, pulling me into that foxhole despite taking a bullet in the dorsal. Fish like Bebe don't come around that often, and when they pass on...you just know the world is a slightly darker place.
Bebe lives on in the lives touched by him.
Stay strong.
that is the one of the funniest things i've read all day! hurray for making me smile!
i'm allergic to fish..!! but that one was awesome funny..!
"one of the silliest sin is grinning during a funeral"
Will i go to hell for laughing?
RIP Bebe Boi
Sorry for your loss.
(How do you know if its a boy fish or a girl fish?)
oh my gosh!! thats hillarious!!!...um...er... deeply moving
Can someone pass the chips and vinegar?
We will have a moment of silence today at the office in memory of Bebe. His life accomplishments are rivaled only by Forrest Gump's. *bows head in silence*

Farewell, o red one. You live on in the hearts of the revolution.
