With a flick of his fingers, George Sinadino has traveled across the ocean from Brazil to China for 17 years. He regarded his long journey of Chinese cultural exploration as a reconstruction of his own thoughts and life, and a deep expansion towards China with an "exotic" atmosphere. For him, the longer he delves into Chinese language and culture, the happier he is because he is addicted to it. The long way to seek Chinese culture has come this year, when Sinadino's Inside of the South China Sutra (Zhuangzi) - Portuguese Analysis was published in Brazil. In the process of compiling the book, the image of Chuang Tzu in his childhood memory often emerged in front of his eyes. Although his father is a native Brazilian, he is very interested in oriental culture, and there are many Chinese books at home. This opportunity made him contact with Taoist classics and related books when he was less than 10 years old. In the family atmosphere close to the oriental culture, he imperceptibly acquired a preliminary understanding of Zhuangzi. Zhuangzi understood existence and pursued the spiritual temperament of life happiness in a carefree way, which attracted him to explore the freedom of mind in his youth. However, China and Brazil are far apart. Sinadino thought that China might always be an unreachable mysterious country to him. Unexpectedly, in his thirties, he met a group of young Chinese people in Brasilia, such as Hu Xudong, who was teaching there at that time. Feeling Chinese music, movies and cooking with them, Sinatino gradually understood the Chinese code of conduct and way of thinking, witnessed and realized the power of harmonious interpersonal relations in China, and left unforgettable memories. Since then, he has acquired the Chinese name Shen Youyou, which he likes to use frequently. Later, he ran into a short trip to Chinese culture. In 2005, he participated in a two-week field study course on Chinese culture. In Gansu Province, I visited the Tibetan Buddhism Gelug Temple in Xiahe County and the Xiguan Mosque in Lanzhou; In Fujian, I climbed the Qingyuan Mountain in Quanzhou to see the statue of Lao Tzu and the relics of Master Hongyi; In Beijing, we visited the alleys and old houses, visited the Taoist holy land Baiyun Temple, and enjoyed Taoist music and Taoist couples' walking posture. All these shocked him and made him even more obsessed with Chinese culture. This trip to China is an important opportunity for him to devote himself to studying Chinese culture. Since then, he has resolutely decided to stay in China, determined to devote all his enthusiasm and energy to learning Chinese, studying Chinese literary classics, and exploring the essence of Chinese culture. To this end, he participated in the China Buddhist Advanced Training Course sponsored by Renmin University of China, went to Peking University to study for the degree of Chinese Master of Philosophy, and later obtained the degree of Chinese Doctor of Philosophy at Renmin University of China. At the same time, he also paid attention to going out of the academic ivory tower to learn about local customs and current living conditions in various parts of China. He is also good at learning Buddhism, Taoism, Chinese medicine, calligraphy and painting culture from the folk inheritors of Chinese traditional culture. In the profound fertile soil of China's excellent traditional culture and folk custom and folk culture, he learned from others and learned from others. Interpretation of Chinese classics in both Chinese and Portuguese. Today, Sinatino has become the leading sinologist in the Portuguese speaking world. He has successfully crossed the two cultures of China and Portugal
