Take the characters and toss them in the bottom slot of this translator: https://www.mandarintools.com/chardict.html
It'll give you the literal character translations. If you want to pass me the characters, I'd love to see if it maps to some famous chengyu, as these things often do.
All I ever got from GM Tu was a paper mache gourd to ward off evil. And a helluva lot of great stories. Some of my best. Plus he gifted me that Jerry Garcia print, which is one of my most treasured pieces of art. I miss his presence in my life. Whenever he and Sandra were in the office, we ate well and the place glowed with qi. Sandra makes the most amazing health cookies. So delicious and fortifying. And GM Tu is simply inspiring on so many levels. He's one of the reasons to improve my Chinese. But even Gigi had issues with his Chinese because he used a lot of old daoist terms (and she is well educated).
I realize I haven't said this out loud but I figured you probably take it for granted - I fully support this work and will do whatever I can to assist you in this. Let's milk that Iron Crotch together. It is such an epic tale, truly epic. Iron Crotch for the win! ICFTW! Oooooh, that's good. We should make T-shirts.
Just got to figure out how to get Gigi behind it. If she's in, your road is paved. We're in a really good relationship right now - China was very bonding and we both had a great time.
