About David Evseeff

I am currently an independent researcher based in Medellin, Colombia. I received my B.A. in Religion and East Asian Languages & Literature (Chinese) from the University of Florida, and my M.A. in Chinese Literature from the National Taiwan University (NTU). I also studied at the Shaanxi Normal University (陕西师范大学) and studied Chinese internal martial arts while doing an academic exchange in China. During my 6 years of living in Taiwan, I also worked at the Center for Chinese Studies (國家圖書館，漢學研究中心) at the National Central Library. My research interests include the novel "Dream of the Red Chamber," the history of Chinese literature, and Okinawan Isshinryu Karate (一心流空手道), which I have practiced for 30+ years. Yes, a very eclectic mix of studies and research!
