You may find here your parents, great grand (or grand) parents, aunts, or uncles. Please be very proud of them – I would be; the reason is that they too lived an extraordinary life! The Ploeg sisters, Dr. and Mrs. Perkins, and countless other foreign health care personnel, and mission workers could not have done it alone or by themselves. They worked together, and together they helped the war-torn and poverty-stricken China during Her most difficult time.
Those they healed are all Chinese People regardless of class or ideal! (他们所有帮助过的人都是中国人- 无论是从何而来)!
