Review by the noted historian Choyun Hsu, Ph.D., University Professor Emeritus, University of Pittsburgh, Academician, Academia Sinica (Taiwan).

The English version of this autobiography is indeed impeccable and very readable, thanks to the translator, who commands a good style of writing. I myself have enjoyed reading both the original and the translation. My hat is off to both the father and the son, who have provided us with this volume, which is an honest record of our time. I would like to invite other readers to explore by themselves this book of rink-side observations of the history of China as well as of the world during the eventful twentieth century.

About the Author

Feng-Shan Ho was a diplomat for China during a turning point in the county's history. In 2001, he was posthumously honored by Yad Vashem for issuing visas to Jews when he was Consul General in Vienna from 1938 to 1940. His struggle in diplomacy was fighting for the dying Republic of China under Chiang Kai-shek as the country shifted from a republican to a communist state. This struggle is brought to life through Ho's account of his ambassadorships in Egypt and Mexico. In retrospect, the efforts of Ho and the Nationalists ultimately failed; however, Hos career is marked by many professional and personal successes that promoted the cause of Nationalist China.

My Forty Years as a Diplomat recounts Feng-Shan Ho's personal observations and conversations with important political and diplomatic figures around the world, providing a unique view of this important moment in Chinese history. Throughout his diplomacy, Ho was a steadfastly loyal and moral man who possessed ambition and fortitude, valued education and discipline, fought for righteousness, was compassionate to those in need, and liked nothing better than a good conversation with a friend. His autobiography contains valuable material for the study of modern history, as well as for the observation and contemplation of intelligent readers.

Just don’t do it
Flavor Name: Original Coarse Sugar, Size: 1.86 Pound (Pack of 1)
Be aware this is like drinking dry grass and water that very quickly turns to gelatin. I can’t imagine the Navy seal that must be able to do this. You would have to be trained for torture in order to enter this stuff.. Unless you were hellbent on suffering, avoid this like the plague. Absolute waste of my money.

Great!

I wish I’d have taken a before photo. But imagine a bunch of spices, on a little spice shelf that makes a U formation and a bunch of spices in the middle. So many spices. So much maneuvering to find the right one. This- this is great! Organized, easy to see, reach. Neat. Excellent investment. It doesn’t even look like I have a lot in there, but I have 46 spices in there! And you’ll notice my cabinet has a lip. Easily fixed with a small piece of wood to raise the item.

Well thought out and easy to install

Definitely organizes and maximizes cabinet space for spice storage. It’s a little rickety. If you are using glass spice jars you will likely need to use the included screws into the cabinet because the double face tape it comes with might not hold up. It might work with the plastic spice containers, but even then it seems like it would not be sturdy enough to hold the weight. The instructions were clear and it installed quickly. If it lasts, it was definitely a value upgrade in my cabinet.
