The Life of Pei

""Pei offers an insight into the fragility of life but also conveys the strength of human nature through a candid account of her life experiences. Her United Nations-accredited Caring for Life education program in China, encapsulates a comprehensive and essential message of compassion in action, for all forms of life."" --Dr. Zhou Jin-Fong, secretary general of the China Biodiversity Conservation and Green Development Foundation (CBCGDF) China ""An inspiring story of a life of hardship turned to one dedicated to compassion. We can all find hope from such a path."" --Leah Garcés, CEO and president, Mercy For Animals ""An authentic life is not created by us, but rather it creates us. Through her autobiography, meet Pei Su and her powerful journey of compassion for all living beings, reaffirming the Buddhist proverb: One moment can change a day, one day can change a life, and one life can change the world."" --Michael Kaufmann, director, Sam and Myra Ross Institute at Green Chimneys, USA ""Pei is a tenacious, wise, and compassionate soul with a page-turning story to share. She has walked a valiant path and through this book, she invites us to explore with her and draw from what she has seen and experienced."" --Jo-Anne McArthur, photojournalist, humane educator, animal rights activist, and author ""Authentic, brave, and riveting, Life of Pei is one woman's saga of redemption through finding her spiritual center and her life's mission: to put compassion into action for all beings. I loved this book, and although I've never met its author, her writing leads me to believe that I probably love her, too."" --Victoria Moran, author, Creating a Charmed Life, The Love-Powered Diet, and Age Like a Yogi ""The world needs Humane Education more than ever. I am certain that it should concern not just humans, but the entire animal kingdom and the environment. I know of no one who has greater insight into its value than Pei and her invention of ACTAsia is a powerful therapeutic initiative for the world's needs."" --Terence Ryan, emeritus professor, Osler-McGovern Centre, Green Templeton College, University of Oxford ""A wonderful book that follows the extraordinary path of Pei and an opportunity to enjoy her straightforward, inspirational, and transparent personality. Knowing her for some 25 years, her wisdom, determination, and clear-minded vision have led her through the rocky seas of man's relationship with his fellow animals. What a tremendous difference she is making!"" --Marquis Federico Spinola, president of ACTAsia ""This is a how-to book for activists. How to persevere in the face of personal struggles and cultural barriers. How tenacity, hard work, and vision are the keys. An unusually honest and engaging account from a true warrior for justice."" --Ken Swensen, Inside Animal Ag ""Pei and I helped to draft the new Animal Protection Law in Taiwan, at a unique time in Taiwan's history, when it was emerging economically, socially, and politically. I have always admired Pei's bravery, her open-mindedness, and her belief in the kind nature of human hearts. She is a change-maker, and her determination will carry her through, in her battle for compassion."" --Professor Jason Yeh, National Taiwan University
