- Back to reading and finished this new translation of the history of the Republic of China (originally in French). Very strong synthesis of the economic, political, social, and cultural in the last four chapters. Less focused on the revolutionary narrative.
- Conference on “Identity, Ignorance, and the Politics of the Self” on May 19 & May 21 in Göttingen, co-organized by Dominic Sachsenmaier (Göttingen) and Wang Hui (Tsinghua), which will be featured with a range of renowned artists, writers, and scholars. Programs below.

- New to Bluesky, so I thought I'd reintroduce my work! My first monograph, World History and National Identity in China, was published by Cambridge University Press in 2021. It explores #IntellectualHistory, #Historiography, #Nationalism, and the development of the #WorldHistory discipline in China.

- #VirginiaWoolf ‘s advice to Ling Shuhua on how to write English as Chinese: … to come as close to the Chinese both in style and in meaning as you can. Give as many natural details of the life, of the house, of the furniture as you like. And always do it as you would were you writing for the Chinese.
- Reading Hu Shi’s letter to his friend’s kid, and deeply touched by his profound humanity! “You are a very good child. Don’t worry about not making progress, and don’t work too hard!” 你是很好的孩子，不怕没有进步，不可太用功！ We all need uncle Hu Shi 😀
- This coming Friday!
- Ok, I wrote about this in our special issue. A government staffed with “good people” was proposed by liberal intellectuals in 1920s-China…Well, sadly, it didn’t work out. See “Making Sense of the Political in Twentieth-Century China” by yours truly www.berghahnjournals.com/view/journal...
- Primary sources are at the center of historical studies. I am finding few librarians on this new platform. Trying to compile a list of people who really know their sources in East Asian Studies. Myself shall not be included… it’s a small list for now. Hope it will grow! go.bsky.app/QwwMe2at://did:plc:ymumjym4bxelk2axo2ysgokk/app.bsky.graph.starterpack/3lb663om4wt2d
