Fw: hakka: Season's Greetings!

["S. L . Lee" <sllee@asiawind.com>]

Hi, Kong Chi,

Thanks for pointing out that we do have Hakka people from all 5 continents
joining this forum. In fact, we have more than Hakka people. Some of them
are not Hakka but are interested in Hakka Chinese culture. I have proposed
to our friends to use Asiawind.com as a business forum too.  I would
certainly be interested in any ideas and proposals. You can talk about
setting up a province, a nation, whatever. Without economic strength and
support, not much can be done. I am forwarding your letter to the forum if
you don't mind.

Happy Holidays!

S. L. Lee
