Greeting from Arc Han

　　Hello, everyone, this is Arc, a new member of Peace Philosophy center. Thanks for Satoko, I'm so happy I could be standing here and greeting you.

　　First, let me introduce myself. I'm a international student from China, studying Asian Regional study in Vancouver now. Now I'm in the second year. I'm the only one son of a common family in Yibin City, SiChuan porvince of China--yea, I miss my parents a lot. But anyway, Vancouver is a very good place to study because I meet people from different countries with different background. It helps me open my eyes and minds.

　　Then, why I involved in peace keeping activities. Ah, there are many reasons. First, I want to thank my parents great emphasis on love, gentleness, honesty, and peace. They shaped me in this way. Secondly, since I'm interested in history studies, I feel the North East Asians have suffered so much during the 20th centry, and they are continuely suffering now--Korea penisular is seperated, China is still divided, enmity still exists among countries. Most of the problems are remains from Cold war or even WWII. Seeing people in other refion are enjoying a regional harmony and happy life, I feel I need to do some thing.
Well, I think there are too many things to say about why I want to do this, but I hope I would not take too much of you time. In short words:
　I love my parent, I love my country, I love Canada, Japan, Korea... and other countries and their culture, I love people, I love this plannet we are living, I hope I can do something for them.
That is. Thank you!

大家好，我叫韩真，是一名来自中国四川的留学生，目前正在加拿大温哥华念大学，专攻方向是亚洲研究。我对历史，整治，国际关系，文化研究等方面非常有兴趣，其实，这也是我当初放弃计算机工程学位转攻文科的原因之一。我的理想是能在大学里面任教或者作研究，同时我也希望将来我能为东北亚的和平做出贡献。今后我将在聪子建立的和平哲学中心工作，非常感谢聪子能给我提供这样的一个机会，也谢谢大家，我会努力的~
