At the end of last centuary I came to Canada. This is a wonderful country full of dreams. On the way of my dreams My soul was wandering around and around. I lost too much while I got so much too. It's really maybe not easy to balance it up what's good what's better. I ever lost myself, even lost courage for life. Thanks God he pulled me back. I would like to present this book which I've been working for over 7 years on with the wisdom of God to all people who love life, all people who suffered life and all people who have expectations on life. I would also take this chance to present my great appreciation to my wife, Hong and all peole who put so much efforts in the publication of this book. It ends up here but starts over there. This is life, this is Jack's saying.
