When I was a child, I spoke as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child. . . " — Ist Corinthians.

It is not a very easy task for me to recollect more than a quarter-century backwards. However, it is my sincere wish not to write anything incorrect. First of all, I do not want to deceive all the readers. Secondly, my idea is this — The record of one's own life is just like the sketch of a view. If the artist makes most faithful measuring on the architecture,' you can set the perspective on it and disperse it into the plain architecture drawing, and you may be able to build the same architectures from the sketch. But if the artist's measuring is not accurate, you cannot do so. With the human life, if one writes out all his life faithfully, it may be a good material for the psychological professor to solve many theories from it. On the other hand, if he lies in his writing, it would be absolutely no use for the psychological study.
