v3.1
I have used the pinyin romanization system, the official romanization system of the Peoples Republic of China, and the one widely adopted by scholars and journalists, for the spelling of most Chinese words throughout this book. With personal names of family members and figures that are long familiar in the West, I have retained the use of the older Wade-Giles system. Thus, my great-aunt is referred to as Chang Yu-i rather than Zhang Youyi, and Chiang Kaishek is used rather than Jiang Jieshi.
