This book is dedicated to my wife Helen (M~) and my children, Edwin (JTX~) and Loretta (JTXtg); to all my Chinese teachers and Chinese friends (to me these words are synonymous: my friends are my teachers; and my teachers, my friends); and to non-Chinese who want to know something more about the Chinese people, their culture and language . My sincere thanks are due to Miss Lai Wing-yin (~M(~Jf), my former post-graduate student in Translation in the Chinese University of Hong Kong, for expertly helping me to translate lines I found difficult to construe and to avoid mistranslating some of the many racy Cantonese expressions in the text.
