An uplifting and hopeful story. These "saints" come in all stripes and colors and often fly under the radar with a total disregard for fanfare. We are in desperate need of these nondescript "saints" today. I have faith we will find them. Thanks for sharing this story. It buoys my spirit. Have a wonderful day and stay well.

Wow! I had no idea about this man. The only confusion I had was that I didn't know his position when I read of his issuing so many visas. It doesn't say that he was a diplomat until close to the end of the piece. Very satisfying to read of such a person. Thank you!

    I'd like to write some short stories about the strange events that got California places like Calistoga, Mt. Diablo, etc. their names. I'm looking forward to the next person you write about. If you ever want to collaborate, I'm your partner!

    I feel I'm way out of your league, (meaning you're so much better) but it might be interesting to toss a few ideas around. As far as more modern-day individuals, I'd love, had I the ability, to do something about Roy Rogers, a California staple. He even tried to get a town named after him once. I corresponded long ago with a writer who wrote a screenplay on Roy and Dale and no studio would touch it unless he left out the part about their Faith.

What a wonderful man, there's a lot of clandestine things and facts that we may never hear about, except in Heaven Jim. That's incredible I never knew, Schindler was a real human being, so many, but not enough, we'll meet them in Heaven, beautifully written, blessings Roy
Typo: Twelve hundred visa(s) were issued.

Even though the world is aware of the Holocaust, there were many unknown heroes. Feng Shan-Ho is one such hero. I was not aware of his courageous attempts to assist Jewish Immigrants. Thank you for this well-written introduction.

They only came to light in after his death. (remove 'in')

Kristallnacht - I can't understand how people can actually believe that this didn't happen. While living in Germany, we visited Dachau and the horrors that happened there made my skin crawl fifty some years later. Thank you for sharing this with us.

    It must have truly been heartbreaking to visit that site.

"righteous among the nations
Feng Shan-Ho" Oh, good to know.
"Oriental men considered as "Righteous Among The Nations" Well, I'm not surprised. God raises good folk from all corners of the Earth.
"31 out of 32 countries refused to accept Jewish immigrants." Oh, so sad and shameful.
"twelve hundred visa were issued." visas--plural.
"They only came to light in after" Take out the word 'in'--grammatically unnecessary.
I join those who thank God for this great, selfless humanitarian. His name is forever blessed.

Very well presented. I didn't know about Feng Shang-Ho.
They only came to light in after his death. - oops.The residual of an edit?
This is genocide, Gazans, not your deaths from allowing Hamas to hide among you.
And to think that there are Americans still harboring such mentality as the Nazis.
Best wishes.

This is a very nicely written article about this oriental man, and I enjoyed very much listening to it. It flows very well when it is read aloud and I applaud you for your writing. Patricia.
