Wealthy Taiwan

Written by Peter Li-Chang Kuo

(Chinese)

“Wealthy Taiwan” is a book of proclaiming—with methods, steps, and tools.

Fig 1: The book "Wealthy Taiwan"

In November 1965, my father, A-Kun, told me to throw away my schoolbag and accompany him to Kaohsiung to evade his debts. Unexpectedly, that journey turned me into the head of the household: I had to pay the rent and shoulder the livelihood of the entire family. My mother, A-Jin, called me “四腳仔” (“a four-legged animal”). As long as she kept whipping me from behind, she believed there would always be money to spend; I, meanwhile, had to find every possible way to satisfy her demands.

Fortunately, I soon found business at the Kuomin Market. I sold everything from tweezers for plucking feathers, butcher knives and small oil lamps to rings, buckles, hinges and other hardware. I earned NT$3,000–5,000 a month for her to spend as she pleased.

" (Proverbs 3:27) My wife, Linda Din ( 丁玲虹 ), after witnessing mass unemployment caused by foreign companies withdrawing investments and closing factories in Taiwan, at that time, unemployed workers who turned to driving taxis were often victims of robbery; consequently, she vowed in 1986 to invent a " Cashless System " to resolve those structural social issues.
