Li Ao Lectures

Xah Lee, 2009-11-20

In the past few days, i've been watching many Li Ao's video lectures. They are Fantastic.

Here's one on language, in particular the survivalability of the Min Nan dialog.

444 李敖有话说：台湾语早晚被淘汰 A.

444 李敖有话说：台湾语早晚被淘汰 B.

In these, he showed, about maybe 30 or more Chinese terms and their origin, in acient Chinese literature. Quite fantastic. (todo: type them out here)

Also, the indicated that the term “名词” (noun), is of Japanese origin. (todo: verify).

In the above, he mentioned a book, “American Policy Toward Communist China”, subtitled “The historical record: 1949-1969” by Foster Rhea Dulles. amazon It is published in 1972.

He chatted about expensive Fountain pen, among other things. How interesting.

“李敖语妙天下 2009年2月26日 才女与美女如何兼备 Part 2”

In it, he has written a poem, published as a ad, for the luxury fountain pen maker Montblanc (pens). The poem goes thus:

附庸風雅情多有
隨波逐流理可無
名牌滿身一身淺
筆底深處見功夫
  -李敖題萬寶龍

Fantastic.

He also talks about Virginia Woolf. Interesting. I've never read any work by her, nor realized that she killed herself.

He also mentioned and showed us, that the Montblanc produced a special edition of their fountain pen in memory of Virginia Woolf. Here's Montblanc's page for the pen: http://www.montblanc.com/6695.php.

He also mentioned the french actress Brigitte Bardot (b1934). He mentioned, that when she's old, she does not have any mirrors in her house (unable to stand seeing her old ugly self in comparsion when she's a sex symbol.), and how she became a “animal rights” activist.

These movie star ignorant motherfucking idiots. It's animal rights, or human rights, or this and that donation, causes, helping out, save the world, fucking shit, because when they get old, or become out of fame, they don't have any content, but still a human animal with vanity and self-worth conscious, thus use their fame and money to “advance” some idiotic concepts to redeem their self-worth.

One story of her cited by Li Ao, is how she castrated a neighbor's donkey because she think the donky is sexually harrassing her female donkey. Here's a quote from Wikipedia:

She once had a neighbor's donkey castrated while looking after it, on the grounds of its "sexual harassment" of her own donkey and mare, for which she was taken to court by the donkey's owner in 1989[12][13]. In 1999 Bardot wrote a letter to Chinese President Jiang Zemin, published in French magazine VSD, in which she accused the Chinese of "torturing bears and killing the world's last tigers and rhinos to make aphrodisiacs".[14]

“李敖语妙天下 2009年2月26日 才女与美女如何兼备 Part 3”

He mentioned about a poem by John Donne (1572-1631), titled “For whom the bell tolls”. I always thought that's just a title of Ernest Hemingway's novel For whom the bell tolls. Here's the poem and Li Ao's translation:

(For whom the bell tolls, by John Donne)

No man is an island,
Entire of itself.
Each is a piece of the continent,
A part of the main.
If a clod be washed away by the sea,
Europe is the less.
As well as if a promontory were.
As well as if a manner of thine own
Or of thine friend's were.
Each man's death diminishes me,
For I am involved in mankind.
Therefore, send not to know
For whom the bell tolls,
It tolls for thee.

(李敖翻译)

没有人能自全，
自己完全做不到，
没有人是孤岛，
每个人都是大陆的一片，
要为本土应卯。
那便是一块土地，
那便是一方海角，
那便是一座庄园，
不论是你的，还是朋友的，
一旦海水冲走，
欧洲就要变小。
任何人的死亡，
都是我的减少，
做为人类的一员，
我与生灵共老。
丧钟在为谁敲，
我本茫然不晓，
不为幽明永隔，
它正为你哀悼。
