Preface by Big Dipper In recent years, China owns the Compass Navigation Satellite System with autonomous intellectual properties. This has broken the monopoly of the space by the west. From the media, I can strongly sense the message of China peaceful ascendancy. And I think that the peaceful ascendancy of China will definitely bring about another Renaissance for China. Since an unknown time, Hong Kong has been radicalized as the Desert of Culture. But I believe the Heaven's arrangements are very special. Therefore though Vanna, Meng Qi and I have little talent and less learning, we dare to complete this book with utterly fearless spirits. I have two great expectations for my work. Firstly, I hope that through my book,the essage of another Renaissance for China will be passed from Hong Kong, the Desert of Culture, throughout the seven continents of the world, just like at the end of Chapter 10 of the First Book of Dragon Phoenix Blog, Phoenix passes the firefly "Big Dipper" in his hand to Fujimo to Miho. Secondly, I hope that the book Dragon Phoenix Blog will finally be completed by the joint efforts of writers of different ages, from different cultures and different ranks and classes so that unification of cultures of the world can be achieved. To accomplish these two great expectations, we need the support and promotion of people with power, predecessors in the literary world, people who are enthusiastic towards culture and art, and most importantly, readers who love Dragon and Phoenix. Finally, in memory of Kurt Vonnegut, the master in anti-war novels in the U.S. who has died recently,I was so anxious that I couldn't help writing a herald of antiwar to readers. I hope that you can enter the website www.dragonphoenixblog.com to make a click in support of anti-war. Your opinion on anti-war is also welcomed. Big Dipper A mid-night in May 2007 |
