Author Introduction
Dr. Wu Gaolin
A distinguished figure renowned for his outstanding achievements in international political, business, and cultural exchanges, Dr. Gao-Lin Wu currently serves as Chairman of the Board of the Hong Kong Intellectual Property Exchange, Chairman of the Hong Kong Intellectual Property Innovation Alliance, Executive Vice Chairman of the U.S.-China Business Association, and Board Member of Sias University. He is also a former diplomat of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the People's Republic of China.
Dr. Wu demonstrated exceptional academic excellence early in his life. In 1981, he achieved the top rank in the national college entrance examination for liberal arts. He earned a Bachelor's degree in English and American Language and Literature from Shanghai International Studies University in 1985.
Dr. Wu has played a pivotal role in U.S.-China exchanges. He had the honor of studying under Dr. Henry Alfred Kissinger, former U.S. Secretary of State, and joined his working group. Through this unique opportunity, Dr. Wu remained deeply involved in Sino-American political, economic, and cultural relations, helping to build a strong bridge for mutual understanding and friendly exchanges between China and the United States.
Dr. Wu’s accomplishments in the cultural field are equally remarkable. For more than thirty years, he has devoted his spare time to the full-text translation of Chinese classical masterpieces such as Dao De Jing and Zizhi Tongjian, a pioneering endeavor rarely seen in history. While pursuing his Master’s degree in History at Eastern Illinois University in 1994, he began his dedicated research on Dao De Jing and Zizhi Tongjian. Since then, he has actively promoted and disseminated Chinese culture overseas, publishing several highly influential academic works and making outstanding contributions to international cultural exchange
In early 2008, encouraged by his mentor Dr. Kissinger, he decided to compile and publish the English translations of these classics. Drawing on over thirty years of rich experience in the United States and a profound understanding of both Chinese and Western cultures, Dr. Wu opened new avenues for the global dissemination of Chinese classics, enhancing the world’s appreciation of China’s profound cultural heritage and contributing to the advancement of China’s cultural soft power.
Guided by the belief that "Although the road is long, perseverance will bring one to the destination; although the task is difficult, diligence will ensure its success," Dr. Wu continues to dedicate his efforts to the fields of intellectual property, cultural exchange, and youth education, making sustained contributions to the progress of both the nation and the international community.

Payment
💳What payment methods are available?
We accept payments via Paypal.
📋Will I be charged for duties & taxes?
Your order may be subject to customs or import duties that are charged once the parcel reaches its destination country.
Legally these charges must be paid by the recipient of the parcel. Unfortunately, we have no control over these charges and cannot tell how much the cost would be, as customs policies and import duties vary widely from country to country.
Customs duty is charged as a percentage of the total value of the goods. The duty rate percentage depends on the country the package is being sent to, but on average it is between 3% and 9%. We have no control over the charges which is why we cannot include them in the cost of the item, or within the postage costs. We generally try to reduce the declared value of the package to reduce taxes and fees, but you may still need to pay a small amount of customs fees.
