A fictional love story set during and after the shocking reality of 9/11, this narrative parallels the plight of America as the characters search for solutions to a senseless and ill-conceived war during which a couple struggles to work through their own personal conflicts. A romance set against one of the greatest tragedies in U.S. history, Peace Amidst Conflict beautifully demonstrates how understanding the opposition is an essential step toward healing rifts between individuals as well as nations. Peace Amidst Conflict opens with the tragic scene of two airplanes flying into the World Trade Center towers on September 11, 2001. Through two twin brothers, one the attorney general of California and the other a staff member in the office of the U.S. secretary of state in Washington, the narrative weaves together the ill-preparedness of the intelligence agencies before the attack on the World Trade Center; the determination of the Bush administration to rearrange the map of the Middle East; the manipulation of the CIA who were ordered to find a reason to go into Iraq; the op-ed article released by Ambassador Joseph Wilson attacking President Bush for using the infamous Niger Report as a justification; the retaliation of the administration by leaking the identity of Wilson's wife, Valerie Plame, as a CIA agent; and the inhumane treatment of the detainees in Abu Ghraib. Tying together these separate but related issues in a compelling narrative that offers a general understanding of what happened behind-the-scenes in the lead-up to the Iraqi war, the story is both compelling and informative. Ultimately, through interviews with international experts, the brothers create a new diplomatic foreign policy for the next presidential administration that will open the way to more peaceful solutions to world relations.

Zhaoyang Quan is created and edited by Zhan Quan Buddhist monk in the Qing dynasty. He worked out the Zhaoyang Quan on the basic of Chaoyang Quan and combined it with practical combat technique. It was created with repeated deliberation and was sublimed. Its foot technique is quite simple and its attacking technique is very quick. It mostly uses the leg technique to subdue the enemy. It can jump and attack the opponent when far from him and avoid being beaten when close to the opponent. It is very good at using the foot technique like jumping, turning over, rolling, big striding, snapping kick in the air and flying kicking and so on to attack the opponent's vital parts. Although it also uses the techniques of arm, elbow, fist and head, these are mainly practised to protect yourself and find chances to attack others. In fact it uses the movement of the upper part of the body to puzzle the enemy and attack the lower part of the enemy with the technique of your lower part. Thus you can take the opponent surprise. This is one of the special skills of Shaolin Kung Fu.
