About the Translator
John Shaw during
his twenty year U.S . Marine Corps career served part of that time
as a Chinese/Japanese/Korean interpreter. He was stationed in China for two tours
totaling six years and visited China twice after those tours. During his first visit he
came across the tales of Ji Gong in a bookstore. After scanning the book, he boug ht
a copy having decided it would be interesting to read. He read the entire book and
then thoug ht it would be enjoyable to translate the first half. He immersed himself in
this project at a leisurely pace over several years.

a former professional editor, in all editorial matters. Tog ether they worked as a team
