On Sep 15 2017, a reader said:

The author's name is Lin, Yutang. Lin is the man's surname, Yutang is his first or given name. In Chinese tradition, there is no comma, so the name is written Lin Yutang. Please do NOT make the mistake of reversing the name and listing Yutang as the surname. It is not!
