Next week (July18) the Suixuan Salon will be suspended, and the week after next (25) will probably also be suspended. After I go back to Shanghai to visit my family, I should still be spending my Saturdays at Xin Dao in August. As for next semester, broadly speaking, the open salon at Xin Dao will probably continue every Saturday; at the very least, let me use up my recharged membership card before making any plans, though at the same time I will also be exploring new forms.
In the blink of an eye, nearly half of my zodiac year has passed. My so-called “In my zodiac year, the Demon King goes out to sea, and the prelude to a new era.”—this prophecy, or rather this scheme, does not seem to have come to naught. Even so, in keeping with my slow-moving style, all sorts of things have not unfolded through any dramatic upheaval; the prelude has only been unfolding gradually, and the main performance is still far from beginning.
During the summer vacation I need to finish the translation of that doctoral dissertation on media phenomenology; in passing, there is also my reading plan, including Critique of Judgment, and my plan to sort out my books. Next semester my two themes will be the general history of science and the eastward spread of Western learning.
