Born in Shanghai in 1936, he moved to Taiwan before 1949 and got his college education there. With the help of a Fulbright Scholarship, he came to the U.S., studied at the University of Chicago, and earned his Ph.D. in 1972. After teaching Chinese history and philosophy for about ten years, he retired. Feeling that none of available translations of Plato's Republic was fully satisfactory, he turned Paul Shorey's work into Chinese in 2009. Then, stylistically, he used the dialogues between himself and his two young students as the basic material and wrote the Dragon Bones and Dao.
