About this listen

 Why did you choose the title The Valley of Vision for your book? my friend asked, prompting me to reflect deeply, as every thoughtful question should. The mountain-top offers a sweeping view of the world, yet it is within the valley—the realm of suffering, endurance, and self-sacrifice—that we truly uncover the profound meanings of life. I believe the aftermath of the Twentieth Century War represents a triumph over the delusions of world domination that the Germans perceived from their military peak in 1914. The collective strength of the Allies, fueled by visions of justice, righteousness, and compassion born in the valley, has emerged as an unstoppable force, leading to the downfall of the German will to power.
