    Ok, I found the answer myself liao.

    斯坦尼斯拉夫斯基 = Stanislavsky, Konstantin Sergeyevich

    Here's a short article about him:

    Stanislavsky, Constantin


    (knstntyn´ stnysläf´sk) (KEY) , 1863–1938, Russian theatrical director, teacher, and actor, whose original name was Constantin Sergeyevich Alekseyev. He was cofounder with Vladimir Nemirovich-Danchenko of the Moscow Art Theater in 1898, which he would remain associated with for remainder of life. He also achieved renown as a director of opera. As a director, he stressed ensemble acting as well as complete coordination of all phases of production. His outstanding productions included many of the plays of Chekhov, in which he tried to strip away rhetorical clichés to enter the emotional core and complex psychology of the characters. Stanislavsky stressed the importance of the actor’s inner identification with the character and the actor’s natural use of body and voice. His training, now termed the Stanislavsky method, or “method” acting, had a vast influence on modern schools of acting. In New York City the Actors’ Studio adapted many of his ideas to their use.

    Note: You guys might have noticed that the spelling of his name in the article and the name translation above it is a bit different. I dunno which is the right spelling. Some articles use 'Constantin' while some use 'Konstantin'. Some article also spell the surname as 'Stanislavski'.
