My Determination

Last year, a few other members in charge of the Great China Region and I received a special invitation to the 2013 Christmas luncheon at Cheon Jeong Gung from True Mother. During her message, she said, “There are also people that Heaven prepared out there [in the Great China region].”

On May 10, 2014, at the age of seventy-three, I received a written appointment from True Mother, assigning me as a special emissary to the Great China and Northeast Regions.

On May 18, three hundred and fifty members came for the inauguration in Taipei. Chong Sik Yong, Asia regional president and special emissary; Kuei Seong Chang, Great China regional president; and Cheon Il Guk envoys, national leaders and representatives from Hong Kong and Macau were among them.

My determination is to find ways to connect with the people that Heaven prepared just as True Mother mentioned and I am thinking of finding them with the heart of a treasure hunter.

I am studiously thinking of ways to rally the connections we have in Taiwan, Hong Kong, Macau, Korea, Japan, the United States, Russia and other places that have relations with the Great China region to find these prepared people.

Generalissimo Chiang Kai-shek (1887–1975) promised to become Christian as a condition of marrying May Ling Soong (1897–2003). True Father wrote a letter to Generalissimo Chiang, to persuade him to forgive Japan. That is why Japanese people are grateful to Chiang while Taiwanese people think of him as a dictator.

During the (de facto) rule (late 1970s–early 1990s) of Deng Xiaoping’s (1904– 1997), ten university professors listened to Unification Thought for seven days in Tokyo. They appraised it saying, “Confucius’ ideology went out to the world and came back with official recognition.”

When the International Highway was announced in 1981, Wang Zhen (1908– 1993), vice-premier (1975–1980) of the People’s Republic of China, warmly welcomed it and hoped that it could commence immediately.

True Mother once gave a speech in a big auditorium in Beijing. This was possible because Deng Xiaoping’s son and daughter persuaded their father to let it happen.

When the Panda Motors Factory first began in Fujian, Deng Xiaoping supported us. From now on, I pray that a great leader such as Deng Xiaoping emerges after 2018, when the five-year terms of those leaders appointed in 2013 ends.

I received precious materials from Chairman Joon Ho Seuk, who had been active in China for eighteen years. I also received useful advice from Katsumi Otsuka and Eiji Tokuno, my predecessors. I will clearly remember their advice and completely invest to succeed in my mission. I plan to focus two-third of my attention on Great China region and one-third of my attention on Northeast region. I hope to be able to visit Mongolia as soon as possible.
