Councilman Peter Koo is one of my favorite political colleagues. His generosity and honesty have made him one of the most popular public figures in Flushing. We both devoted ourselves to community service around the same time and were subsequently elected as council members. Along the way, I learned a lot from him and our collaboration has been very pleasant.

Mr. Koo came to the U.S. alone to study, became a pharmacist, started to give back to his community after he started his family, became active in charitable activities, and eventually got elected to the New York City Council. His story can serve as a reference for many new immigrants in their career planning. Many of the hardships he encountered along the way will be presented in this book.

The United States has grown to be one of the most influential countries in the world because of the influx of immigrants from around the globe. Chinese immigrants have played a pivotal role in the development and prosperity of New York City. However, not many books have been written about the wonderful stories of Chinese immigrants in the city, especially in Chinese language. I am glad to see that several authors and I Wing Press have initiated such an effort, and I hope that more people will pay attention to and devote themselves to this area of work in the future.
