    First and foremost,

    I would like to thank Dr. Chen, Kuan Cheng, the president of Alumni Association. He has tirelessly organized alumni association from the beginning, connect to many of us personally and contribute enormously to CMU. He has inspired many of us. This is the fine example of year of perseverance.

    I am most grateful to CMU Alumni award selection committee. I did not know about this event; It was a pleasant surprise. There are many outstanding alumni over the years and I am sure they also well deserve such recognition. I am humbled by the selection and able to come back during the 60th anniversary of CMU. What an honor!!

    In recent decade, our school with the visionary leadership by Chairman Tsai and all the senior leaders, I have witnessed the most impressive transformation of the school. The movement has not only made CMU highly regarded domestically but also well known internationally.

    Who could even imagine the current progress and success of our school, when I graduated in 1985. I applaud to the visionary leaders and the years of hard work as well as overcoming adversity. I am most proud to be an alumnus of CMU.

    Alumni Association is the extension of influence from the school to the society, and reflection of the mission and vision. As an alumnus, I would support CMU and continue to do my best to serve.

    Globalization is the trend in medicine. Talent search and grooming are in competition. CMU understands it well and has done outstanding jobs from designing new school curriculum to proactively linking with internationally prestige university and academic medical centers.

    Although medicine is a phenomenon of global development but medical care itself is very personal experience between physician and patients. Medicine is the oldest profession. As long as human suffering exists, so do doctors. The role of doctors in modern world can be diverse but many of us will remain to be healers as we face our patients. That is what CMU is for. Learn well and treat our patients well. Respect each one you encounter and do no harm. This is the oath we sworn under when we wear our white coat for the first time.

    For the young generations, I have a few to share:

    1. We only have one life to live, live to the fullness. Find your passion, for greater good. There is a quote from the oldest book that I enjoy very much. It says: “….Whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable- if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things.” Philippians 4: 8

    2. Find your mentor early. I benefit throughout my life having inspiring individuals as mentors who demonstrate integrity, perseverance, and the love for medicine. So, find your mentor and be inspired.

    3. Do not make final judgment about yourself when you are defeated, set back, lost in faith or having a catastrophic event. My wife and I went through life events that we thought to have irreversible loss. In later of our life, we are deeply encouraged by many who overcome the adversity and find ultimate purpose of life. One such person is, Joni Eareckson Tada whom we recently met. A diving accident in 1967 left Joni Eareckson, then 17, a quadriplegic in a wheelchair, who later has served on the National Council on Disability and on the Disability Advisory Committee to the U.S. State Department and brought life changing law to reality to people suffering from all forms of disability. Never give up, every one of us is created for a good purpose and our life journey either ups or downs is a process that brings us to find of our purposes. It is up to you to find your path. For this, I thank my wife, LinErl who is also alumni of CMU, walks by me over these 30 years of marriage

    I wish all of our young generation who now enjoy the unprecedent learning opportunity and environment at CMU, a great success to your career. Take the full advantage and be the best person you can be. 30 years later, it will be your turn standing here as you have a story to share.

    Thank you, CMU.
