Said Abdulhakim Al-Khalidin

The Reincarnation of Kong Fuzi (Confucius) Said Abdulhakim Al-Khalidin

This book is a true story about my account as a former New York City High School Chemistry teacher and former New York City Social Worker. My book details the struggles I had in dealing with the dysfunctional bureaucratic system, racial and religious discrimination when I converted to Islam. My book also dealt with the underground homeless problem in the United States. I met many different people, murderers, gang leaders drug dealers etc. My book covers the long odyssey that I had to endure to escape this situation. I became a combination of a 21st century Marco Polo and Ibn Battuta. My adventures dealing with many precarious situations along the way is comparable with Homer's Odyssey. My book also has a touch of what the biblical revelations and Quranic stories about the struggles of the prophet Joseph. My book also describes about how an incident involving my ATM card being swallowed up in an ATM Machine, eventually led to me acquiring the name Kong Qiu (Confucius real name). This along with another incident led one of my friend's to tell me that I reminded him of Confucius. Then my friend told me that I may be Confucius, reincarnated as a Black man. My story covers my 16 year journey and some 81,000 miles or 130,000 plus Kilometers in Southeast Asia and the Near East before I accidently stumbled upon the lucrative Prefabricated Bamboo Housing business, along with Permaculture and Aquaponics. Originally I was looking for the American Dream, but accidently I stumbled upon the China Dream.
