About the Author 138
VI
THIS BOOK IS DEDICATED to the memory of my father and
mother. My father, a Taoist, inspired me to study Ch’i Kung and
Tai Chi Chuan. From the time I was 5 or 6 years old, he would
take me to watch demonstrations of every kind of Ch’i Kung,
martial arts, Tai Chi Chuan. These left a deep impression in my
mind. My mother, a devout Buddhist, worshipped regularly, and
I went with her many times to the temples. This also left a deep
and lasting impression on me. Both parents taught me to he
kind, to help others in any way I could, and to do beneficial
things for my fellow human beings.
