[SOLO]兒女英雄傳 The Story of Hero Boys and Hero Girls by Wen-mas

[YuqingJune]

Hello, Yuqing,

How's it going? I've uploaded Section 22 for your PL -- https://librivox.org/uploads/maryannspiegel/heroboys_22_wen_128kb.mp3 (59:20). I'm glad that I'm still able to keep the steady pace. Ironically, it's a side benefit of the pandemic which bound me home!

Take care.

Tina Ding

Hi Tina! Thanks for the great work. I'll get back to you as soon as I can.

Section 22 PL OK

There was only one tiny bug:
1:45 - “怎麼這樣早就走了” 這樣 was read as 這麼

I'd let it go personally, especially since the level of PL is standard only (i.e. I'm not really supposed to check against the text word by word).
Let me know if you'd rather fix it!

By the way, this storyline is really not far from what we thought it would be. Nonetheless, I'd love to see how the whole plot unwinds until the very end - the "narrator" has got some good storytelling skills there

Hello, Yuqing,

Thanks for the catch. We both are "perfectionists", so let's agree to be faithful to the text unless there's an error. I have uploaded the revised version for you. By the way, I learned from another book to leave more silence at the beginning, which I did to Section 22 as well. When I get a chance, if you also concur, I'll do the same to all prior sections.

Yup, both sounds great!

Oh, and section 22 is PL OK now

SECTION 23 SEE PL NOTES

1:01:31 難道你還算不得個念書的 - 念 was read as 讀

Everything else is impeccable. Great job!

On a side note: I did expect this plot twist to come (male lead changing his mind), but not... so... fast...
Poor girl - or should I say, poor girls?

Totally agree...it makes one wonder what would come in the remaining bulk of the story!

The updated section 23 is up there for your review. Thanks.

Section 23 is PL OK now!

Hello, Yuqing,

Section 24 is ready for your PL at https://librivox.org/uploads/maryannspiegel/heroboys_24_wen_128kb.mp3 (69:50).

You and I already know that we can't apply today's value system to what's going on in this novel. Still....all that maneuvering is "impressive"!

Section 24 see PL notes

1:33 合他乳母陪伴 陪伴 was read as 相伴

That's all! Thank you for the wonderful rendition

I'm only guessing - 鄧九公 won't be the one clearing up this mess; our 安老爺 will be the one saying something that pacifies everyone

Hello, Yuqing,

I just uploaded Section 25 (51:41) at https://librivox.org/uploads/maryannspiegel/heroboys_25_wen_128kb.mp3 for your PL.

At times, I ran into characters that sort of don't make sense to me. I would verify different sources first. If I cannot find any different text, but also cannot dispute the characters with strong reasons, I'd read as is. I'd only deviate from the print if it's sufficiently obvious that it's a mis-print. There's one such case in this section:

38:45 Instead of 是先要籠絡 往 這姑娘， I read 是先要籠絡 住 這姑娘. Let me know what you think.

Agreed! I'd totally do the same as you. Give me a while more to PL the entire section!
