“Hegemonic Mindset” Hampering Recognition of Manchu Contribution to China’s Literature

Right up to today, all Chinese literary history is actually the history of literature written in hànyǔ — the history of literature by the Han plus literature written in hànyǔ by some ethnic minority writers . . .

A scholar of Manchu storytelling just sent me the link to the audio of Dr. Zhang Juling's recent presentation:
一梦红楼感纳兰:满族文学在中国文学史上的地位
The very beginning is a bit noisy, but when she begins speaking, the recording is crystal clear.
Wow! She's 80-something and supposedly retired, but the clarity of her Mandarin and the forcefulness of her expression are truly impressive.
The download page warns it will take nearly a month to download, but it actually took me just 4-5 minutes . . .
