LAcadémicien French CHENG, the day of his naturalization swapped his Chinese name, "Lhomme unity" to that of Francis. He made that choice because of his affection for the site Assisi, place of mystical encounter with the holy place, "Grand Living" as lappelle. His attachment to the three floors of the site is not that of a visitor, but of a resident who wanted to experience all the movements of the heart, the miraculous generosity of this medieval saint, universally recognized. .
The writing of Francois Cheng, his words, his chains, like a meditative chant sécoulent that opens us to the discovery of the divine.
The same choice of "Francis", by the way, was made more recently by the Argentine Cardinal Bergoglio, for reasons quite equivalent, WHEN IT has embraced the papacy.
