Beau Bridges, Narrator [English Version] The recorded narration for Mermaid’s show is the work of Beau Bridges, an award-winning actor who visited Mermaid’s headquarters while on location in Windsor, Nova Scotia several years ago. Part of a preeminent Hollywood acting dynasty, he has portrayed a myriad of characters during an extensive career in film and television which spans more than three decades. Beau is the father of four sons and a daughter, giving him an insider’s appreciation of the world of children’s literature. DaShan, Narrator [Mandarin Version] Dashan, AKA Mark Rowswell, has been called “the most famous foreigner in China”, where he has worked as media personality and cultural ambassador for over 20 years. Although relatively unknown in the West, it’s hard to find anyone in China who does not know of Dashan. Born and raised in Canada, Rowswell began studying Chinese in the mid -'eighties, first at the University of Toronto and later at Beijing University. While in Beijing, Rowswell became interested in Chinese performing arts, particularly xiangsheng 相声, a popular form of comic dialogue. A chance opportunity to appear on television suddenly gave Rowswell national exposure under the stage name “Dashan”. Repeated appearances on programs with audiences in the hundreds of millions gradually turned “Dashan” into a household name across China. Well over 20 years later, Dashan is still going strong. Although Dashan got his start performing comedy, today he is seen more as a cultural ambassador between China and the West. Dashan became a Member of the Order of Canada in 2006, that country’s highest civilian honour, with the citation acknowledging his work in uniting the Canadian and Chinese peoples through laughter, understanding and goodwill. He has represented Canada in a number of prestigious capacities, including Team Attaché for the Canadian Olympic Committee during the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing, and Canada's Commissioner General for Expo 2010 in Shanghai. Further recognition followed in 2012, when Prime Minister Stephen Harper named Dashan Canada’s Goodwill Ambassador to China. Dr. Shao-Pin Luo, Translator [I Love My Little Storybook] Dr. Luo holds a PhD in English Literature from the University of New Brunswick. Her main research interests are in postcolonial literature, diaspora studies, translation studies, and intercultural approaches in language teaching and learning. She currently serves as Coordinator of the Chinese Studies Program and Adjunct Professor in the Department of English at Dalhousie University in Halifax, NS.
