（盐城期末）Lin Yutang was a famous writer, translator and inventor. He shared different cultures through his stories and even made a machine for languages. He was truly a man of many talents.
As a child, Lin loved reading and wanted to understand how the world worked, and that curiosity stayed with him all his life. He first studied in Shanghai, then went to Harvard University to further his studies. Later, he achieved his PhD(博士学位）in Germany. Lin learned about different languages and ways of thinking. This helped him become a cultural bridge between the East and the West.
Lin worked hard to share Chinese culture with the world. He became well-known for telling stories about Chinese life. In books like My Country and My People, he introduced Chinese ideas and daily life to Western readers. He also wrote novels like Moment in Peking. These stories showed how Chinese people lived and stayed strong during wartime. Lin also helped create a Chinese-English dictionary, which made it easier for people to understand Chinese words. Besides, Lin introduced Western culture to China. In 1924, he created the Chinese word “幽默” from the English word “humor”. Lin believed that humor showed a kind, open, forward-looking and wise way of living.
Lin’s creativity didn’t stop with writing and translation. He was also an inventor. Chinese characters(汉字）made typing a real challenge. Lin spent years designing a Chinese typewriter. In 1947, his Ming-Kwai typewriter finally came out. Teachers, publishers, and researchers all found it very useful. It also played an important role in language research.
