John's father helps additional remarks
Alan: I learned from your book, that the former president Li and president Chen has came to see you. We would like to ask what the most important thing they said to you was.
John (Words translated by his mother): Two presidents are both very cordial to me, it is that President Li's appearance relatively looks like elders and more serious, and President Chen feels more cordial too like one's own brother. As what they told me, I nearly forget. They said lots of things. Mainly are about praising me and encouraging me.
President Chen says I'm the warrior of the life. President Chen says "John didn't give up himself, your family hasn't given up you either, so this country will not give up you either definitely. Perhaps this president is nearer, what he said I remember it better, but what the former president Li spoke at that time is that some words that seem excited see John can pinch pottery well also. When he came, these works were done in early years. All of the potteries made in U.S.A were collected on the third floor, because we're afraid of them being destroyed by others, all these were done in early years, so it doesn't really matter.

At that time when former president Li came, he thought that how he can pinch such an exquisite pottery art can also play drum and can also by music also with his unhealthy body, so he thinks and says if you need help then tell me and I'm sure to accomplish. John says to give me a fishing rod, I do not want other things. The former president Li actually is saying to send John to asylums, etc, so John can learn things and do the things he want.
If he's in the asylums, John can pass his life easily and he doesn't have to worry for his own future and also his parents. John says it's not needed, in this way I seem to get that fish to eat easily then I seem to just get freeloaded. I still wish to you to give me a fishing rod. That time, former president Li probably just wanted to help John as quickly as he can, so his talents won't be submerged.
Excuse me, when John is in the Kiwi Orchestra, did he have fans?
Everybody is interested to know whether John has fans in Kiwi Orchestra
Jimmy: Excuse me, when John is in the Kiwi Orchestra, did he have fans?
John (Words translated by his mother): Well, I will tell you when I have one. There're lots of people that give me flowers, but I'm not sure if I have fans. Maybe they were touched with John's skillful drumming and his amazing ability. For example, when the Kiwi Orchestra went to the City Light Hall, one woman bought a bouquet for John. That bouquet is still in the vase. That was a lily bouquet and it made John's room full of a good scent.
John's Father: Plus, when John went to the Women Jail, lots of women was touched and cried. John couldn't see the cry but he can feel it.
John's Mother: There is a women Jail in Kaohsiung and all the paneled people there are women. The women there all have lots of skills, and there are about five or six hundred people. Wow! It seems like there are a bunch of people looking at John's performance. They were crying down there, the sound of the cry seems to be telling you that they are poor. They seemed to be touched and they donated some money to us. Those paneled people totally donated twenty thousand and eight hundred dollars. I was wondering where the money came from. I was touched and I thought that these people have already had lots of handicaps. Instead of John, there are also people who have to crawl, use a cane or people who can't see and need others help, even there's one who is almost deaf. You also can't find out that the trumpeter's fingers were cut off by a machine and there're only six fingers left! He was depressed for a long time, because your right hand is needed to play the trumpet, but now he is a happy man!
The teachers are the lost people's benefactor. The trumpeter's teacher told him that he still needs to try to do what he wants to do. He is very interested in music, so he tried to play the trumpet by using his palm. In a result, he played a folk song last time. Look, these handicapped people all succeeded. When we went to the woman jail, the prisoners asked us if they need to give us money. We knew they don't have money, so we said no, because we came to let them feel touched and to let them know that they have a family and a home and a healthy body, but they didn't use their healthy body well enough, so we went there to help them.
