TAIWAN EARTHQUAKE
It is with deepest regret that we report the death of a well-known professional couple, Yuan Li Wen and Hung Shu Fang. Yuan and Hung died on 21 September 1999 in the tragedy that showered upon Taiwan, the massive earthquake. It was reported that the first eight floors of the building in which Yuan and Hung resided caved in and Yuan, Hung and their family were trapped inside. Unfortnately, Yuan, Hung and their younger son did not survive the crash, but their daughter was rescued.
The massive earthquake had not only shaken the Taiwanese soil and its residents, it had also shaken the hearts of many sympathetic people all around the world. A fund raising event has now started in Taiwan to help the Yuan/Hung family. If you would like to contribute to this charitable cause, please contact Mr. Li Shao Hua at 214 Chang Shou Street, San Zhong City, Taipei, Taiwan.
