(From the Central News of Taiwan [Formosa], this journalist, Mr. Lee, has been publishing Master’s articles, the whole page, front page, in a Truth Present News owned by the government. This courageous spirit is awarded by Master today as “The World’s Most Courageous Journalist.) […] And at that time, many people opposed us, our movement, and the newspapers were quite afraid to have anything to do with us in Taiwan (Formosa), at that time, in the beginning. […] And he still thought that my Teaching is very fit for the public. So he fought with obstacles within and without the newspaper circles. And then he asked us to let him publish that in the newspapers. At that time, when the opposition was the strongest, he still did that. And every day, of course, he received many threatening telephone calls and a lovely terrorizing message and things like that. […] And despite all this, he still persists in doing what he thinks is right.
It’s the same with the purple journalist. She wrote the articles. Not because she praised the Master or the Teaching that we award her, it’s just the way that she writes it. It’s very good, very articulate literature. The style is very nice. Because many people praise me, and I don’t award them, not everybody. You can see a lot of newspapers and journalists are praising me all the time in the newspapers. But not because of that, that I award them. I award the Literature Award to a person who truly can see with journalistic talent and journalistic fair judgment and accurate eyes. […] Later if we know someone else, we’ll award them.
They (Tainan) have their own Center. They bought their own Center, and they build their own everything. And that is also very, very good going. And they drive cars, big buses around the country to propagate the Teaching. And the third place, Hualien. Hualien’s also very strong. […] And they have a lot of activities and enthusiasm, and also organization talent for the promoting of the Teaching. […]
