Richard Sears, a young American from the state of Tennessee fascinated with traditional Chinese culture, began learning Chinese. Sears founded the “Chinese Etymology” website, spending over 20 years sorting different types of inscriptions ranging from oracle, bronze, to small seal and putting them on the Internet. Netizens called him “Uncle Hanzi,” which means “Uncle Chinese Characters,” to show their respect to his efforts.

A special series on Richard Sears, “My stories of Chinese characters,” will be on air from February 12, 2021 on CGTN all platforms.
