Peter, It is great and thank you, but it should read in Pinyin, Ye Zhongsan next to the Chinese characters. You've accidentally written 'Shan', not 'San'. Incidentally, we tend to put the two names which form the personal name (not the surname), together: Ye Zhongsan, or Ye Bengqi, or Wang Xisan. I don't know why, it is just sort of accepted as the way to write it, from what I've learned.
  Best, Joey
