So when Sam was born, I 9to tell him about school and friendship, romance and work, love and everything else. That’s how I started to write these 10. I hope that Sam would 11them sooner or later.

However, that expectation 12when Sam showed signs of autism (自闭症) at the age of two. He had actually stopped talking before the discovery of the signs. He 13to communicate with others, even the family members. That was 14for me but didn’t stop me writing on. I realized that I had even 15now to tell him. I wanted him to 16what it means to be “different” from others, and learn how to fight against the misfortune he’ll 17as I myself, his grandfather, did. I just 18if I could write all that I wanted to say in the rest of my life.

Now, 19the book has been published, I have been given the chance. Every chapter in the book is a letter to Sam: some about my life, and all about what it means to be a 20.
