C.J. Ma

Author C. J. Ma

C.J. Ma vividly remembers how stunned he’d felt when he witnessed the abuse and exploitation that animals were exposed to in a California theme park in the early 1980s. His own experiences in school meant he greatly empathized with these animals.

C.J. was born and raised in Taiwan, Republic of China. There, under tremendous academic pressure, C.J. did not have a great learning experience. He had no confidence or self-esteem and hated school. Moving to California at age 13, his struggle continued in a new and unfamiliar environment. He was bullied at schools until he met his saviour, a teacher named Mr. Pelton who came to C.J.’s rescue with generous heart and uplifting support. C.J. is forever grateful.

Animal Rescuers is dedicated to him and all of CJ’s other teachers.

C.J. went on to receive a Bachelor Degree in Education Psychology from UCLA, and has taught E.S.L. classes in an elementary school in Sunnyvale, California.
