Dear Colleagues,
Please accept the condolences of the entire China Folklore Society at Professor John Miles Foley's passing. We mourn his loss and recognize with awe and respect his incredible record of accomplishment, creativity, and contribution to international folklore studies.
As many of you know, even more than a classicist, an educationist, or an epic scholar, Professor Foley was a great human being and a master of folklore research and teaching whose kindness and wisdom helped an innumerable number of students and folklore fellows in China and beyond China. The mission to which he dedicated his whole life was to gain a better understanding of oral traditions in the context of inter-disciplinary discourses.
Dr. Foley will be missed internationally for his ground-breaking work and for his role as a pioneer in the exploration into the roots of expressive culture of human being.
With deepest sympathy to Dr. Foley's family and all you,
Yours Sincerely,
Chao, Gejin (President)
Dong, Xiaoping (Vice President)
Ye, Tao (Vice President and the Secretary-General)
Bamo, Qubumo (Vice President)
