His invaluable insight on correctly interpreting various old texts has contributed significantly to my translations. Further, his continuing encouragement has always been the source of my passion. Perhaps this is a prime example of \"passing on (傳承) the family's profession and reputation (家業)\", a custom that the Japanese hold so dearly. And that is exactly why Japan can still retain its traditional culture and values.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eKS Vincent Poon\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAugust 2024, Toronto\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Kwan Sheung Vincent Poon\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1989485340\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781989485347\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Senseis\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/26\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 98\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.29lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.23d","brand":"Kwan Sheung Vincent Poon","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46173174825215,"sku":"9781989485347","price":12.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_72ef01b8-a672-4a6c-be1d-3c9eec3b0ec6.jpg?v=1727180208","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/calligraphy-meets-philosophy-talk-kwan-sheung-vincent-poon-9781989485347","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
