I'm coming to London on a book tour! Join me, Zhui Ning Chang, Jinhao Xie, and Rockey Sun Keting from Tangram for a 2-hour event to celebrate The Lantern and the Night Moths, Chinese literature in translation and Sino diaspora literature.

@npub15wt…7rek "not sure if you can get it taken down" is not helpful because it's clearly malicious attacks, not "someone get mad at me"

@npub15wt…7rek i think it's just racist people targeting a lot of BIPOC because with my friends also dealt with the same thing
i mean i literally spent 2 months just recently fighting the british museum for stelaing translations so i'm assuming it's that

hmmm an anonymous account gave my book that is not even finished yet and won't be out until April 2024 1 star on goodreads... is there a way to mark it as a vicious spam attack??
my book is not available in any form because it's still being worked on. this is so ridiculous wtf

感谢台湾媒体的详细报道，不仅很仔细的介绍了事情的来龙去脉，还强调了译者在文学奖和出版业中也被忽视的事实。至今为止我看到最详细的中文报道

Hey everyone, I am glad to share that I have reached a settlement with the British Museum! Thank you so, so much for your support throughout this.
Here's my update on the matter:

I think on the SFF sides he managed to do a lot and it has really helped but there is a long history of white people dominating the field for many decades. Also many editors don't know Chinese and then they randomly edit and cut and change things and it makes it very poor quality.

So glad to see a growing #cdrama community on mastodon.
Some of my favorite shows are:
- joy of life
- princess returning pearl
- love between fairy and devil
- legend of condor heroes 2017
- a dream of splendor
Does anyone have recommendations for what I should watch next?
