He doesn't seem to put his real name anywhere, but his online identity "阿布"
can be read as "ā bù" using *pinyin*. His profile puts his location at
Shenyang in Liaoning Province.

I'd translate the paragraph before the diagrams as:

"This is my entry to the April 2011 design challenge at the English origami
forum - it won first place. It was right after the earthquake and tsunami
in Japan, so as a memorial, the theme of the challenge was 'Japan's
Spring'. This work also represents my feelings; I wanted to bring across
the hope of life, a sense of life sprouting from Mother Nature. This work
was initially titled 'Spring of the Northern Country', but later I changed
the name to 'The Hope of Spring'."

I apologize in advance for any mistakes in translation that I may have
committed inadvertently. I think the photo diagrams are self-evident
enough, but if anyone wants the textual instructions to be translated as
well, I'd be glad to try.

Regards,
Herng Yi
