I bought a second hand book and it has a piece of paper with Chinese hand writing on it ~ maybe a signature? I was wondering if anyone on the board could translate it for me?

it is written by hand (you can see the pen through the back of the paper) and it has a red "china" stamp on the bottom

Had a friend who on once in a while would take something to their favorite place they buy Chinese food from and they were kind enough to help with the meaning of the writing. Good Luck

Sometimes if you just google the word in whatever language you have, the search will provide some translations. Maybe it is worth a try!

I actually have a friend who is Chinese. Would you be able to scan the writing and post it? I could email it to her and see what she says.

I, too, work with students who are Chinese so if you can scan and send via PM I can ask them.
