Sitewuxi would also like to thank professor Zhang Zhi for his International Review of The Dashing Choi Lai Sheung's poetry and prose.
Here I would express my disappointment at not being included in it as I did contribute to this when asked by professor Zhang Zhi. Perhaps it is being kept for some future publication. I hope so?
Everyone is enraptured by the poetry of this Hong Kong Martial Artist and International Poet. Choi Lai's poetry just gets better. My favourite so far is her "The Remote Mountain." Please consider me another admirer of this beautiful and talented young woman.
