Dedication is to Max not Marx #337

The dedication of your book is to Max and the translator translated this name into 馬克思, which needs to be change--- because it is the default translation of "Karl Marx". Any one in the Chinese world would first link 馬克思 to Karl Marx.. and I think you probably would want to avoid any misinterpretation that you dedicated this book to Karl Marx…

Maybe we can write "Max" in Latin script. Or put it in glosses.

Oh, I have thought about it. The translation is 马克思, but it is possible to be misunderstood. I will change it back to 'Max'.
