I came from Taiwan. My religious background was a combination of Confucianism, Buddhism, Taoism and ancestors worship, like most of the people from Asia.
As a young man I liked to read those philosophy books, and searching for the meaning and purpose of life. Finally in a summer retreat camp for college students I received the eternal life.
After graduation from medical college we had to do one year of military service. I was sent to Kinmen---a small island very close to The Communist China. There was propaganda bombardment every other night, but I had no fear. Even once a cannon ball fell about 10 feet in front of me, because I knew where I would go when I died.
