A SFU professor drove his son here months ago to find the texts of Kuai Ban Shu (快板书). We found a couple of books in the stack, but a whole lot more online, with AV clips.
They came back to thank me today, and shared the great news — he has won this year’s “Chinese Bridge” Contest (汉语桥), and he is going to China for a summer program. I am so happy for him!
He is learning about Han Dynasty now, and borrowed Shi Ji, and an atlas.
