Dedication
This book is dedicated to my sisters, Dr. Lillian S.C. Pang, MD, PhD, FRCPath; Dr. Shuyi Peng, MD; Madam Shutuo Peng, MA; and my brothers, Dr. Shugan Peng, MD; Shujue Peng, MD. Without their consistent encouragement and support, I would not have undertaken my study of liver diseases and surgical career. This book is also dedicated to all my patients whose desire for life and living well is what makes this entire effort meaningful and worthwhile.
