4 years of rereading 🥳

[Rereading the Stone (podcast) @rereadingstone]

don't worry, life gets in the way sometimes, but new episodes of @rereadingstone are in the works!

[Rereading the Stone (podcast) @rereadingstone]

also, we're slightly closer to the a long-term goal of getting the pod episodes onto Youtube! (see the link!)

the idea is to make slide shows that go along with each episode, just trying to streamline the process at the moment!

Starting to reread the greatest book of my life. Let's see how it holds up!

@x1ngwu @KassiaOset 🍻

thanks for the shout-out!

[XingWu🐉ChineseFolklore @x1ngwu]

It's a great novel. Many Chinese people consider it to be the most unforgettable book they've ever read.
It also contains a wealth of content related to Chinese culture (literature, mythology, folklore, etc.) and history. There are far fewer English resources available on this subject than there are in Chinese. If you're interested, @kmichaelwilson & his friend's podcast, @rereadingstone, are highly recommended. They do an excellent job of explaining these concepts.

@KassiaOset It is amazing. The beginning can be a little difficult but luckily I had @rereadingstone to delve into some of the cultural elements, as well as my bc of two to talk it over with.

🎙️episode drop: Ch. 39 pt 1 🎙️

We treat the first part of Chapter 39 of Dream of the Red Chamber (Story of the Stone, 红楼梦), as Li Wan and friends wax philosophical on the importance of having good servants to dissipate loneliness…

A reference to the fate of Jinchuan "Golden," no doubt? A haunting guilt?

Or does Lady Wang just enjoy a good Zhuangzi reference?

retweet if everyday you're at the bottom of a well

Hawkes: The tears that had collected in Lady Wang's eyes poured down her cheeks now and the voice in which she answered was choked and trembling.
"Where did I get it from? I sit all day at the bottom of a well."

#readingstone HLM, ch. 74

[Rereading the Stone (podcast) @rereadingstone]

The end (or is it beginning?) of our Chapter 38 review! (This was originally intended to be the first episode we’d release, but it was the last to be recorded, and we forgot to rearrange them.)

[Rereading the Stone (podcast) @rereadingstone]

🎙️episode drop: Chapter 38 part 4🎙️

the final part of our foray into this dense and rich chapter of Dream of the Red Chamber (Story of the Stone)
