If Abian's wife Adin-a had not so compassionately encouraged her very successful attorney husband to get involved in defending those accused dissidents in Kaohsiung Incident decades ago, she would not have had to live the rest of her life on a wheelchair, with her children and the little grandchildren also being persecuted mercilessly, and now her husband's facing the great risks of losing his own life and mental ability.

When Ma would probably be showing off to his international guests traveling on High Speed Rail during the upcoming Double-Tens Day celebration as he did in the previous years, I hope that Ma's conscience (if he has any) would remind him of the fact that he had locked up and tortured the innocent precedent leader who had achieved in building this state of the arts in a most advanced commuting system with a greatly reduced budget. When one is indulging on the fruits from a tree which he had not planted or sweated to produce but instead he is heartlessly trying to harm and to destroy the grower, he then is definitely inhumane and immoral to the extreme.

I wish to share with you the forwarded weblink of an inspiring presentation "Pulling Together", perhaps something there we humans can also learn from our animal friends. And in the meanwhile, I would like to pay tributes to many courageous and most compassionate individuals and groups who had dedicated so unselfishly and valiantly to saving Pres. Chen's life through their humanitarian endeavors and deeds; the medical team in Taiwan, Joe Lin's team from US, the human rights team from DC and Paris, the writers with righteous voices- Jack Healey, Michael Richardson, Jerome Keating, Chin Hen-Wei(金恆煒), Minjin Kuo, Bill Huang, Kuochih Hong, Johnson Wang, and more, the powerful TV station of Bun-O Show and the commentators, the unsung heroes and heroines who had labored relentlessly behind the scene for this noble cause - Jenny Tsai, Jay Tu, as well as Aquia Tsay, Huang Yue-Shwei(黃越綏), and many others, in addition to those unwavering demonstrators in LA and New York on Pres. Chen's behalf, and the many silent donors who had generously contributed to Abian's Funds with a good heart and the unlimited compassion and supports .......

As I was trying to recount all the names and people whom I had known of their kind deeds, my heart was so full that my eyes were welling up with a sense of deep gratitude for the fact that although there are some people whose hearts are getting frozen to the point they are barely living with a dying soul, and yet the earth is still filled with inhabitants who possess goodness and practice charity endeavors that shall help them deposit precious credits in Heaven above.
