Farewell

Hi everyone, please see below the cut.

🙂

*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

Time to Return (当归去) by Mo Bao Fei Bao

Important points should be stated thrice: This is a sad ending. This is a sad ending. This is a SAD ENDING.

This is the short story by Mo Bao Fei Bao that I had mentioned before. It truly is a short story; not even 3000 characters. Letting you have a taste of Mo Bao Fei Bao’s writing in an ancient setting.

Don’t be So Proud (别那么骄傲) – Epilogue 2 (Part 2 of 2) *NOVEL COMPLETED*

This is truly the end. *sniffles* While I’ve been eager to conclude this translation (because it’s been going on for sooooo long), I’m actually now sad to let it go.

Shen Xi learns that not every romance has a happy ending, but she will not allow the chance of a potential unhappy ending stop her from loving. ❤ Wishing them all the best.

Don’t be So Proud (别那么骄傲) – Epilogue 2 (Part 1 of 2)

This last epilogue is more than double the length of an average Proud chapter. I’ll be posting it in two parts. This story will officially be completed next week. 🙂

I have such fond memories of Boston. Touring it “with” Shen Xi has made my mouth water thinking about the lobster and clam chowder. Who could be a better guide than the boyfriend you haven’t seen for almost a year? Hahaha… jealous and petty He Zhi Zhou!

Don’t be So Proud (别那么骄傲) – Epilogue 1

Borrowing this space to say happy anniversary to Shi Yi and Zhousheng Chen. ❤

Unfortunately, I had to take my computer in to get fixed. That means I likely won’t be able to get anything out for Proud next week. Even for this posting, I had to dip into my inventory in order to get it out. My apologies. (For those concerned about Healing Sunshine, I also have drafted a couple of updates and those will be scheduled to post at the normal time. If I don’t get my computer back on time and run out of inventory, I’ll let you all know. Hopefully it doesn’t come to that. 😉 )

Two completely different people who grew up in completely different environments, but somehow, fate brought them together. The right person will make you become a better person. ❤

Don’t be So Proud (别那么骄傲) – Chapter 13.4

It’s been more than two years, but… we made it! Woohoo! Peanuts, we can crack out the champagne and have a celebration! This is the final chapter of Proud. Only two more epilogues to follow. I like that little bit of reminiscing that Shen Xi does in here. As we look back, we can see how their relationship has grown. 🙂

Don’t be So Proud (别那么骄傲) – Chapter 13.3

A decision has been made.

Don’t be So Proud (别那么骄傲) – Chapter 13.2

Shen Xi’s Saturday date turns out very different from what she had hoped. Even the person she’s with is completely outside of her expectations. We noticed it creeping in before, but the overall tone is much more serious in this chapter. Still, enjoy the super-long chapter.

Don’t be So Proud (别那么骄傲) – Chapter 13.1

Everyone has slightly different definitions of love, and everyone loves in different ways. This story is fun, but it’s also about a growing up process for the characters, and that includes Lin Yu Tang. He isn’t perfect, made mistakes, but he’s learned and bowed out gracefully. My heart always feels for him whenever I read this chapter. Shen Xi will always have his well wishes.
