About Lin Yutang
Lin Yutang (10 October 1895 – 26 March 1976) was a Chinese inventor, linguist, novelist, philosopher, and translator. One scholar commented that Lin's "particular blend of sophistication and casualness found a wide audience, and he became a major humorous and critical presence", and he made compilations and translations of the Chinese classics into English. His My Country and My People (1935) reached the top of the New York Times bestseller list. Some of his writings criticized the racism and imperialism of the West.
