The True Story of Fatty

by Frank Yau

Overview

安徒生童話《豌豆上的公主》的結尾寫著：注意！這是一個真實的故事。因為這個虛擬的童話描述了每一個時代中，每一個人都曾經歷的故事！

筆者積畢生履歷和感受，創作了以第三人稱—胖子和第一人稱—卜一為中軸（pivot）的師友共處、悲歡離合、世態炎涼與社會百態的故事，呈獻給讀者。希望能引起讀者的共鳴，並尋回其童年的歡樂、成長中起伏的記憶，以及對世態的感受。

相信本書中許多虛構的成分，包括人物、事蹟，或許有與讀者經歷相近、相似之處；果真如此，這肯定是巧合。

About the Author

Frank Yau's family origins are in Xuzhou, Jiangsu. He was born in Guilin, Guangxi, in 1944 and moved to Taiwan in 1949. After studying at The High School of Taiwan Normal University, he earned a bachelor's degree from National Taiwan University. He moved to the USA in 1968 and received a Ph.D. of Mechanical Engineering from Purdue University. Afterwards he worked in the petroleum industry for over thirty years. Frank started his career as a researcher for EXXON. He later served as Vice President of Enron Oil & Gas China and General Manager of Burlington Resources China, overseeing US-Chinese collaborative efforts and the development of Chinese petroleum resources, with a focus on tight oil and gas (including shale) production. The author was a participant in the Diaoyutai political movements of the early 1970's. Later, as a participant of a dialogue session with Deng Xiao Ping during his 1979 US visit, the author proposed the acceleration of technology exchanges and cooperation among China, the US, and Taiwan. In 1983, he organized and was elected as the first president of the Chinese Petroleum Association of North America, which promoted such technology exchanges and cooperation in the petroleum and petrochemical industries. A lover of history and geography, he has travelled across the US, mainland China, Taiwan, and the seven continents, taking in natural beauty and local culture, while discovering hidden histories not found in text books. He has published approximately 200 articles, including "The Visit of the Dadu River Battlefield-A comparison between the success of the Red Army's Long March and the defeat of Shi Dakai's Taiping Rebellion"; "New Findings on the Tianzhong Memorial";"My memory of the Huaihai in 1948"; "Visit to Easter Island"; "India, a Blend of Light and Darkness"; and"Memories of my years at the High School of Taiwan Normal University." He has published four books: "The Unlimited World"; "The Endless Journal"; "Untold Stories along the Ancient Path"; and "The True Story of Fatty." The forthcoming "Talks Under the Moon and by the River"is being prepared for publication.
