The earliest writing systems of both East and West were pictographs; pictures which represented
things and ideas. Chinese pictographs, which originated around 2000 B.C. in Hwang Ho region of
China, served as the fundamental vehicle for the written languages and culture of all of East
Asia. The character chosen to represent the Pacific Health Summit, pronounced ikiru in Japanese
and sheng in Chinese, means life or to live. It is a simple character, clean in its meaning and
