| I was born in Penisular Malaysia. I have a lot of friends ethnically different around me. However, we do express some falsehood in our relationship. Where can I find true love? How much of true love can I get among my relatives? I feel that the more I grow up, the more I feel dissatisfied, empty, bored, and discouraged. I once asked the heaven, "What is the real meaning of man's life on this earth? Is it birth, aging, sickness, and death? One day, I happen to read a portion of word in the book of Ecclesiastes written by Solomon: "Vanity of vanities, saith the Preacher, vanity of vanities, all is pursuit of the wind, catching of the shadow," This makes me feel that human life is just like that. | |

My interests are contacting people and mixing around with them. After years of doing so, I have found that man is lovable as well as detestable. The lovable side of man is that man is the most wonderful, honorable, special, beautiful, and wise of living creatures. When I stand on top of a mountain, and I look at the heaven and earth and all things; they are so systematically arranged. And, it appears that everything is so peaceful and wonderful. Without the existence of man, however, it seems to be so low in profile and empty, so meaningless. On the other hand, just taking a glance at today's world, and it becomes apparent that wherever man is, there is sure to be murder, fornication, uncleanness, envy, anger, and death, as if man has no true rest and peace in reality. Thank God! After years of struggling, in 1986, I found the answer for the vanity of my human life. I met a group of Christians who are very special. In one of the meetings, I was encouraged to call on Lord's name for ten times, "O Lord Jesus! O Lord Jesus! ..." Such a sweet name is a name which I had never tried calling before in my entire life. As I called with my whole heart, "O Lord Jesus! O Lord Jesus! ...," suddenly I felt the flowing of a living fountain into me, filling up my heart of vanity, bewilderment, and hopelessness." Ever since that very evening, I experienced a great change in my life. Wherever I met any of my friends, I started preaching the gospel to them, hoping that they could be like me, enjoying, experiencing, and gaining God who is the living fountain of life.
