Dear Wai Dung,
How are you? I am sorry to trouble you.
I (or should be considered as we) have a problem that you may be able to resolve. Recently using the Jiapu address, I sent an email message to Tak Wai of the Jinan office about the information of a pilgrimage trip of North America kin members. I got a number of new messages with attachments as replies and one of them I think was from our honorable Tak Yung. But the system blocked each as if they were with virus. Therefore I cannot read nor download the attachment. I do not think they are viral messages but due to different software systems.
I understand, the system is using 8 bits in English and 16 bits in Chinese. Therefore there is always a problem in sending Chinese messages, even in America and certainly to other part of the world too. At the beginning, I tried to type messages (in English and in Chinese) directly to our Kong’s website by the Microsoft Word doc file/system, and they were rejected by your Website instantly. Finally I find out that I have to save my draft as a text file ( known as Rich Text File, rtf) and then paste it on your web. Your system accepted messages either in Chinese or in English in this way. (Although it is more convenient for me to write in English by the keyboard, I still would publish messages in Chinese to our kin members in China, about our current activities in North America.)
To communicate with Tak Yung, normally I prepare a pictorial file (jpg or pdf) first and then send it as an attachment to Hong Kong. I am a biochemist but an illiterate in the Computer field. I would like to ask your expert opinion, can something be setup (as a page or an attachment or as anything ) so that overseas Chinese can communicate with Jinan and Hong Kong offices confidentially (including planning, discussions, suggestions, or in short, writings not ready to be announced yet ) in the Kong’s website instead of the commercial systems. It looks likely the current commercial systems (such as Yahoo or AOL etc) would not be able to handle such problem.
If you want to contact me personally, I could be reached b nynjkungs@Yahoo.com or hin_hung@Yahoo.com.
Thank you very much.
Hin Cheung.
PS. You may know I am commissioned to handle the genealogical issues in USA. An easy way to communicate will be good for us.
