Book Detailed Our Family Early Life

I wrote it and collected records for a long time so that what our family experience was, so other could understand what we went through. It was not written for print, just as a family record, but thanks to the convenience of Blurb online publication, I am very proud it has been published.

The book, "Pearls of Wisdom, Chronicle of Chen family" is about 438 pages long and contains a succinct history of the Chen family since my Grandpa time in 1940's.

It should be a wonderful gift for our younger generation who does not know everything about their grandparents and family, and it is a great collection for educating the next generation. They really need to know their roots.

Each family member can flip through the crisp pages of the book and stops at their pages with colored photos for more than two dozens of greater Chen family relatives and close friends in it.

You may say, this is what we need, if so, this is what I want to print for you.
