Wikipedia description:

Chan Hok-lam (Chinese: 陳學霖; pinyin: Chén Xuélín) (1938, Hong Kong – 2011, Seattle) was a Hong Kong-born historian of China. His obituary in the Journal of Song-Yuan Studies considered that "his works have inescapably influenced the research of nearly all those after him who have entered into the uniquely challenging sub-discipline of middle-period Chinese studies." Focusing on the period from the 9th to the 15th centuries, he was the author of 19 volumes of history in English and Chinese, a major contributor to two other large collaborative works, and over a hundred essays and reviews in history journals.
