520			_a the stories of our awardees reflect its diverse fruits. The Ramon Magsaysay Award Foundation hopes that what may be seen today simply as a collection of touching stories about admirable persons from far-off lands will one day be the spark for other equally inspiring contributions to make Asia an even better place.
520			_aIt is time to make sure that current and future generations will have the kind of stories that will be told and retold because they inspire hope, uplift the spirit, celebrate triumph over adversity and nurture a passion to be of genuine service to one's fellow humans. These are stories of the Magsaysay laureates, Asia's contemporary heroes and heroines. This volume, the fourth in the book series Great Men and Women of Asia, focuses on twenty-seven Magsaysay laureats from the countries of Northeast Asia-China, Hongkong, Japan, Korea and Taiwan. While each country has had a unique social and political history, all have deep spiritual and cultural roots in compassion and self-giving. Greatness of spirit has clearly had fertile ground in the region
