Features: Dear readers: The story you are reading in this book is not about one person overcoming hardship, but about two people. Although the book Where Is God When It Hurts? details how I, as a quadriplegic, accepted the challenge of my fate and overcame adversity, this special Chinese edition is the result of the diligent efforts of another quadriplegic—my friend, Dr. Zhang Xu. When Dr. Zhang Xu read my story at the Beijing Rehabilitation Hospital, China Rehabilitation Research Center, Puhua Hospital, I believe he was not only drawn to the story of how I learned to accept the limits of my fate but also discovered that this book could help thousands of Chinese people like him. He realized that through faith and repentance, anyone can overcome hardship, whether they are someone with severe cervical spine injuries, someone whose heart has been wounded, or even someone with a minor injury that only affects their fingers. Therefore, I want to thank Dr. Zhang Xu and his family for their hard work in translating my autobiography, making it possible for more Chinese friends to understand the secrets of overcoming hardship and misfortune. I also want to thank Mr. Song Mingdao for helping with the initial translation review, and Mr. Zhang Wei and Ms. Xu Jun of Beijing Huaxia Publishing House for assisting with the final publishing process. I hope you will find help, discover hope, strength, and inspiration from this book. And may you, like Dr. Zhang Xu, find that faith can help you overcome weakness and experience the miracle of smiling in the face of adversity, no matter what difficulties you encounter.
