Hey y'all. Anyway I recently tried looking for a way to purchase Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio online, and I came across both the John Minford translation as well as the Herbert Giles one. The thing is, while I had already enjoyed Minford's rendition of "Story of the Stone", I was disappointed to read his comment in the introduction to "Strange Stories" that he left out certain parts because he felt they were irrelevant. I was also disappointed to find that the Giles translation, while longer, neutered a lot of the more scandalous content to render the work more palatable to a Victorian audience. So I am curious, does anyone know where I can find the original version, in the original language, either online or otherwise? Thanks.
Same goes for a lot of Chinese media. I'm looking for some of King Hu's films, for example. And Tsai Ming Liang's films are a ***** to find.
So yeah maybe we can expand this thread to talk about availability of Chinese Media in the west.
