I have mostly transcribed names and places in unsophisticated syllables as a stranger like Lovejoy would, and ignored the pretty Barnett-Chao and other romanization systems. Elsewhere, I have used the most common anglicized forms as experienced by the average Western reader. Where mainland place-names have lately made the headlines, I have followed modern practice and used the north Chinese romanization. The Cantonese terminal “-a” I transcribe as the rather posher “-ne”; it is simpler to read.  \nWith regard to Hong Kong itself (where I lived for some years), I have chosen to disregard all modern advances such as the tube (MTR, Mass Transit Railway) and the under-harbor tunnel, and have left the physical city as it was in the sixties. I like it that way.  \n—Jonathan Gash  \nJADE WOMAN","cbCainO3rDS2Cx9o","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCainO3rDS2Cx9o","pdf",1027596,2,261,"English","en",105,"# Jade Woman\n## Contents\n## Author's Note","[{\"question\":\"What is the main plot of Jade Woman?\",\"answer\":\"Jade Woman follows the antique dealer Lovejoy as he gets involved in a mystery surrounding a valuable jade artifact in Hong Kong, encountering deceit and danger along the way.\"},{\"question\":\"What is significant about the setting of Jade Woman?\",\"answer\":\"The novel is set in Hong Kong, with the author choosing to depict the city as it was in the sixties, omitting modern developments for a specific atmosphere.\"},{\"question\":\"What does the author's note explain?\",\"answer\":\"The author's note discusses his approach to transcribing Cantonese names and places, opting for simpler syllables that a character like Lovejoy might use, and explains his choice to set the story in an earlier version of Hong Kong.\"}]","Jade Woman | PDF",1785658549,402,{"code":4,"msg":31,"data":32},"ok",{"site_id":24,"language":23,"slug":33,"title":13,"keywords":34,"description":14,"schema_data":35,"social_meta":86,"head_meta":88,"extra_data":90,"updated_unix":28},"jade-woman","",{"@graph":36,"@context":85},[37,53,68],{"@type":38,"itemListElement":39},"BreadcrumbList",[40,44,47,50],{"item":41,"name":42,"@type":43,"position":11},"https://docshare.wps.com","Home","ListItem",{"item":45,"name":46,"@type":43,"position":20},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/","Document",{"item":48,"name":12,"@type":43,"position":49},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/story-novel/",3,{"item":51,"name":13,"@type":43,"position":52},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/jade-woman/116365/",4,{"url":51,"name":13,"@type":54,"author":55,"headline":13,"publisher":57,"fileFormat":60,"inLanguage":23,"description":14,"dateModified":61,"datePublished":62,"encodingFormat":60,"isAccessibleForFree":63,"interactionStatistic":64},"DigitalDocument",{"name":9,"@type":56},"Person",{"url":41,"name":58,"@type":59},"DocShare","Organization","application/pdf","2026-08-06","2026-08-02",true,{"@type":65,"interactionType":66,"userInteractionCount":20},"InteractionCounter",{"@type":67},"ViewAction",{"@type":69,"mainEntity":70},"FAQPage",[71,77,81],{"name":72,"@type":73,"acceptedAnswer":74},"What is the main plot of Jade Woman?","Question",{"text":75,"@type":76},"Jade Woman follows the antique dealer Lovejoy as he gets involved in a mystery surrounding a valuable jade artifact in Hong Kong, encountering deceit and danger along the way.","Answer",{"name":78,"@type":73,"acceptedAnswer":79},"What is significant about the setting of Jade Woman?",{"text":80,"@type":76},"The novel is set in Hong Kong, with the author choosing to depict the city as it was in the sixties, omitting modern developments for a specific atmosphere.",{"name":82,"@type":73,"acceptedAnswer":83},"What does the author's note explain?",{"text":84,"@type":76},"The author's note discusses his approach to transcribing Cantonese names and places, opting for simpler syllables that a character like Lovejoy might use, and explains his choice to set the story in an earlier version of Hong Kong.","https://schema.org",{"og:url":51,"og:type":87,"og:title":13,"og:site_name":58,"og:description":14},"article",{"robots":89,"canonical":51},"index,follow",{"doc_id":7,"site_id":24},{"code":4,"msg":5,"data":92},[93,96,100,104,109,114,119,124,129,132,136],{"id":11,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":46,"category_name":12,"show_sort_weight":94,"slug":95},90,"story-novel",{"id":20,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":46,"category_name":97,"show_sort_weight":98,"slug":99},"Literature",80,"literature",{"id":52,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":46,"category_name":101,"show_sort_weight":102,"slug":103},"Exam",70,"exam",{"id":105,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":46,"category_name":106,"show_sort_weight":107,"slug":108},5,"Comic",60,"comic",{"id":110,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":46,"category_name":111,"show_sort_weight":112,"slug":113},6,"Technology",50,"technology",{"id":115,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":46,"category_name":116,"show_sort_weight":117,"slug":118},7,"Healthcare",40,"healthcare",{"id":120,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":46,"category_name":121,"show_sort_weight":122,"slug":123},8,"Research & Report",30,"research-report",{"id":125,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":46,"category_name":126,"show_sort_weight":127,"slug":128},9,"Religion & Spirituality",20,"religion-spirituality",{"id":127,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":46,"category_name":130,"show_sort_weight":127,"slug":131},"World Cup","world-cup",{"id":133,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":46,"category_name":134,"show_sort_weight":133,"slug":135},10,"Lifestyle","lifestyle",{"id":137,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":46,"category_name":138,"show_sort_weight":105,"slug":139},19,"General","general"]
