Description
When a man is born, much has already taken place. His world is already formed, and he is born into a history. He does not begin at the beginning, for what he learns to do, say, and think is learned from those who preceded him.The biography of a family, therefore, is always much more than a mere collection of stories. In its proper form, a family history is an attempt to understand one's self as a person whose life is intimately entwined with the lives of those who have gone before.Mr. John Tan Boon Liang has done just that in his book A Bamboo Flower Blooms. The stories he has collected, spanning four generations of the Tan family, are varied, intriguing, and humorous. They give us an insight into a way of life that many of us are now unfamiliar with.But more than that, this book reveals to us the author's zest for life.It is a personal testimony of a man who values a rich past as his gift to the generations of the future.Rev. Dr. Ken Williams, C.S.S.R
