It's
on my Christmas list, right next to "Hero."
Always another way to practice my
Chinese listening skills.


www.edaymovie.com has very affordable Chinese (?) versions of
both of these. Also unobtainium like _Raise the Red Lantern_
and _The Story of Qui Ju_.

Navigation is pretty funny for an illiterate like me, but
English subtitles for the feature. They play and look just
fine.

By the way, if you're at all a fan of Chinese music you ought to check out
Shi Mian Mai Fu. It is THE classic Pipa song. Almost 7 minutes of
pyrotechnics depicting flying arrows, flashing swords, war drums, dying
soldiers - the whole shebang.


Thanks much. Will do.
