Trace of Our Harmonies
追声与循途 by 庸责己
co-translator: @sleepyneedle.bsky.social

Classical music soulmates!❤️After a painful falling out, a composer and conductor meet again years later and rediscover joy in love, life, and music.🎶

Read on Discord: discord.com/invite/8PDnn...
New chapter every 2 weeks

Inside a building, Lin Yan sits at a run-down piano and plays accompaniment while a young girl sings. Mu Kang leans against the exterior of a crumbling brick building, out of sight from the man inside. He is looking upward desolately.

Good literary translation requires understanding (language, culture, genre--on both sides of the translation) and an ability to write well. "AI" can't do that. There are no shortcuts. Treat your work and foreign language readers with the respect they deserve. You won't fool anyone with this.

Though understandably most readers focus on depiction of survivors, for me, "What makes someone a perpetrator?" is an equally compelling question that is not often discussed in these kinds of narratives. It's why Chiang Liu is one of my fave Towei narrators; his POV is essential to the story

My translation of the Modu 2025 Extra (Part 1) is now up on my website!

Come scream about these disasters in the comments with me!

Modu (默读）2025 Extra

Part 1: Write your first meaningful travel diary Fei Du himself denied the small matter of being a picky eater. He proclaimed that there was nothing he would categorically refuse to eat, he simply preferred certain flavours. Everyone had preferences, didn't they? Him having them too was perfectly ordinary. As for the mischief he made at the City Bureau cafeteria that one time, that was simply a joke.

still thinking about this article today. so many societal ills are caused by people white-washing what actually happens. it's awful to see games do it too.

can't wait for cozy domestic violence simulator or cozy kkk simulator
