His respect for the Chinese grew out of this, and he traveled to China to study more about their culture. There, he met and later married Bingouh Wong, another famous Chinese historian.
He spent 10 years in China before finally moving home at age 30. With his wife and three kids, he opened up the Center of Ancient Chinese Literature, which today works to try and preserve and grow interest in ancienct Chinese books.
