"“Once you take the first step, overcoming each difficulty that arises is an easy matter.' These are the confident words of Madame Xie Bingxin (1900-99; commonly known by her pen name Bing Xin), a great Chinese writer with whom my wife and I enjoyed an unforgettable friendship. She wrote this in a letter one January during a period that was fraught with hardship and adversity.
"In this Year of Youth and Victory, let us take action with a youthful and courageous spirit, one step after another. Let us keep pressing energetically forward, ever forward, towards a glorious golden victory."

"The people of today all turn their backs upon what is right; to a person, they give their allegiance to evil. This is the reason that the benevolent deities have abandoned the nation and departed together, that sage sleave and do not return. And in their stead devils and demons come, and disasters and calamities occur. I cannot keep silent on this matter. I cannot suppress my fears."
