Back Like Disco

Blogger and Blogspot are still blocked in China - I guess Blogspot's long history of initiating riots is being held against it? Anyway I finally broke down and got myself a proxy, so expect to have updates coming soon, hopefully later today. I'll try to get back on a regular schedule.

I'm still contemplating getting a separate host for the blog, like hostgator. I hesitate, because I'm pretty much 100% happy with the blogspot software, and converting the blog over would be a huge time-waster, and ha ha I don't want to spend the money! But of course this is a China blog, and if it can't be accessed in China...

Finally, I'll probably roll out a separate blog about modern Chinese literature, in the next couple weeks.

  1. What period of time do you mean by "modern Chinese literature"? Some people use that phrase for 1910-1950 or so… If you mean the current day, that would be the second of its kind that I know of, after Paper Republic.

  2. The plan is on literature written after the Cultural Revolution, but perhaps with detours back to Lu Xun or really anything I feel like.

    Perhaps the blog will be even more self-indulgent than this one. I study Chinese and I'm trying to get better at reading & translating Chinese literature. Having a related blog would make for good practice, and hopefully others would find it interesting as well.

    The Paper Republic site is great, but isn't quite what I have in mind - for one thing, the people there are probably a lot smarter than I am :)
