About the author

Li Yeming is a Chinese author known for editing and annotating classical philosophical texts. Publicly available information about him is limited, and his background, nationality, and dates of birth and death cannot be confirmed. The library holds two of his works: the complete, fully annotated and translated edition of Chuanxilu (Instructions for Practical Living), and an annotated translation of the same text. Both center on the Ming dynasty thinker Wang Yangming's Chuanxilu and fall under Eastern philosophy and classic works. Judging from these titles, his approach favors presenting the original text in full, with item-by-item annotations and modern Chinese translation, so that readers can compare the source with the rendering. This format serves both scholarly reference and general reading, and suits readers who wish to study the original Chuanxilu directly while relying on annotations for support. Given the limited material, a fuller picture of his output is hard to assess, but these two works suggest a focus on making classic texts accessible and accurately conveyed.
