Mary Tang’s translations are addictive. Read them at your own risk. 🙂

I’m always careful not to disturb Immortals. Mary is a bit good but i fear so good the Immortals don’t get much rest for reading her translations.

I try to disturb the Immortals at least 900x a day… their silence in the face of the Holodomor “speaks” volumes…
