You’re My Glory (你是我的荣耀) – Revised Chapter 37

For completeness sake, I was supposed to translate and release the final epilogue before the drama broadcast but the best laid plans of mice and men. I discovered that Lucky Koi had already translated it on her blog. Since she had taken the effort to do it, the novel is not my exclusive property and I’ve been busy, so do visit her blog for the final epilogue. Instead, I’ll post the revised final chapter for completeness sake. It is unedited as my editor is away but she will edit it later. I am in a hurry to post this before Monday, when the fast track episodes will be released.

A reader called Chris wrote: I think the reference of ‘…trending towards becoming a BDS…’ means that to YT our QJJ is his Navigation Satellite System in his life as she steers or navigate him back to his dream, to stay on in aerospace, to give him a goal to work towards to, to work to become her glory…as Gu Man wrote those last lines – Holding her hand, Yu Tu suddenly felt that everything was settled. The road ahead seemed clearer, and his life seemed also to have become simple. Merely that….He would be with her. And then, he would become her Glory.

Gu Man wrote: At that time, many readers commented that the kiss in the KTV was too abrupt. After thinking deeply about it, I also feel the same. Hence, I revised a bit. I feel more satisfied now. Then I let a few readers read the newly added second kiss part but they still prefer the original version. So, I’ll post it separately for everyone to have fun.

The source is from a fashion expert in Weibo and all the information on those brand names are from numerous online sources. If you want further info or buy the clothes, you can search online, but don’t ask me.

*No Translation Posts* and some of my personal thoughts will be coming shortly

Dear Readers,

Just to let you know, there will be NO UPDATE of Unsung Friends this week as you would normally expect.

I’m not sure if you remember, but back in November I said I would think about whether I still belonged on this translation scene. I asked my readers to give me some time to think about it (actually, I said a few days at first, but then I realized I would need more than that). I know it’s been a few months, but I have not forgotten this. It truly has been weighing heavily upon my heart and mind. I will place my thoughts into a post and let you know shortly.

Regards,

-H

You’re My Glory (你是我的荣耀) – Revised Chapter 36

I’ve been sick lately but feeling better now. My editor is on vacation. Hence, there won’t be much activity on this blog until Nov.

Before the novel was published in May, Gu Man revised chapter 36 to expand a little to connect better to chapter 35. In fact, she made more substantial revision to chapter 36 but after letting a few readers to take a look, they still think the original version is better. Thus, she quietly changed back. She lamented that making revision is really tiring. I’ve translated the revised chapter 36 to let you decide which version you like better.
