当赖华安邀请我以合著者的身份共同制作这本照片语录时，
我感到非常荣幸。我非常喜欢这本名著《尊重 1,000,000》

也是一个美好的事业，以表示我们对那些在这次 Covid-19
大流行病中为我们的生命安全作出巨大牺牲的所有前线英
雄的支持。
本书中华安那鼓舞人心的语录和 30 多位各行各业撰稿者

When Aesos Lai invited me to collaborate in the production of this PhotoQuote book as coauthor, I felt very honoured indeed. I have thoroughly enjoyed the entire process of creating
this PhotoQuote book, “Respect 1,000,000”, not only because it has been an enriching
experience for me personally but also because it is for a good cause, which is to show our
support to all the frontline heroes who have sacrificed much for the safety of our lives in
this Covid-19 pandemic.
The inspirational quotes from Aesos and the messages/words of wisdom from the 30 plus
writers from all walks of life in this book, are indeed a source of motivation and
encouragement for everyone. As the translator of the quotes and messages, I have
pondered on the relationship between life, nature and the creator of the universe … often
times I am moved by the quotes/messages and am excited to translate them to reflect the
intent beautifully in Chinese!
This PhotoQuote book project collaboration with Aesos has been an eye-opener for me, and
one of the key takeaways from this experience is, ‘it is indeed a great blessing to be able to
help sincerely and give generously towards the achievement of a common goal for the
good of humanity’. For that, I thank Aesos for this collaboration opportunity.

I am very pleased to collaborate with Aesos Lai as a Co-Author to produce this book. I have
been very blessed in the whole process of making this PhotoQuote Book – Respect
1,000,000 to be a blessing to all generally and to the front-liners particularly who have
sacrificed much for the safety of our lives in this epidemic Covid-19.
As the main translator of this book, I am sometimes inspired by many quotations, thinking
deeply about the relationship between life and nature and the creator of the universe.
Sometimes I am excited by the gorgeous Chinese translation of the quotations, and crying
"wow"; sometimes moved by the reflection of the 30 over writers from all walks of life; 暗
淡 also pray for all thefront-liners from time to time.
One of the greatest lessons that I have learnt as an co-author with Aesos is that to give and
take generously in helping each other to achieve the common goal of public welfare in order
to bless others.
