By  Alice Cheng The realm of life is considered as the awareness of one’s mind and the cultivation of one’s character. It is closely related to our vision, mood, and cultivation. When the horizon is high, there is no obstacle and there is a clear wave in the heart. The eyes are the window of the soul: What comes into our eyes is what goes into our hearts.

Rev. Kenneth Kin Hang Lo Since the beginning of the pandemic, the Internet has become the most important way for us to contact the outside world. Someone once joked: “We can go out without our wallets, or stay at home, but we can’t survive without the Wi-Fi or mobile phones!” This is because all the data and messages are on our phones. Of course, they also have the Internet connection to the outside world.
