Father's Paper From the Water

“My father was born in Sichuan and lived in Taiwan during his later years. He never forgot his love for his motherland. Whether he was buried in writing books about China early in life or expressing the wish for me to return home while living with me in the US in his later years, I could profoundly feel the deep emotions in his heart. Before he passed away, my father told me by his bedside that he dreamed of picking up a piece of white paper from the water, which had the words “Love for China” written on it. My father’s love for China shook me and gave me the courage and determination to choose.”

“After that, I no longer feared letting go. I believe that as long as I start from the heart, each choice conceals a new world. When an opportunity arises, as long as I correctly evaluate my potential and integrate it with my understanding of life, I can seize this new world.”
