1200 words written today, still so much to write! Now I must go and get more books from the library to read in France. Less than a month to go now...
Edit: 2000 words written yesterday, collected two copies of the illustrated lives of saints I found the original Ming copies of at work. One of which had an English translation! (and a modern chinese translation) Books in French which are more translated Hagiography as well as the life of Du Guangting. And a lovely English and modern Chinese translation of Zhaung Zi with the original classical as well. So happy I can make out parts on both sides of the page! I also found a lovely set of books in the 5 for £2 sale at the school bookshop. A Chinese reader about the ballet of women in the read army, a little French book about triads in the 1910s, a French book on Chinese bolshivism written in 1927, uncut and unread, a French book on 20th century Chinese history, and a communist propaganda book from the seventies about the Chinese reform movement of 1898. Lots of fun. Yesterday was a good day.
