My hero 叶剑英

Dad told me that without Marshall Ye there won't be the rise of Deng Xiapoeng and there won't be a strong China that we have today.

Dad also said he is from Meizhou and a Hakka like us :-).

Book on "Overseas Chinese"

I met Roger Lim who is the GM of Medo Publishing Pte Ltd. They came out with an interesting book on overseas Chinese.

They personally went to 106 countries to write a first hand account of Chinese living overseas. You can order the book at www.medo.com.sg

Worth reading!

This is written by best selling author John Nasbitt who wrote on the US Megatrends 2 decades ago.

I feel he is rather balanced in what he writes and only the ignorant can accuse him of being a propagandist for the Chinese government.
