Lin Yutang

I am reading the book “the importance of living” recently. I didn’t know all the books of Lin yutang were written in English before I bought it. I have read the Chinese version of this book, but I never doubted it was not his original edition because he was Chinese. The New York Times said at the time of his death, he had no peer as an interpreter to Western minds of the customs, aspirations, fears and thought of his people. His English is perfect. I think even native English speaker will feel shame when reading his book.
