Both Qian Chengyong and little brother left. Read A New Account of the Tales of the World which was written by Liu Yiqing(劉義慶), Linchuan Prince of the Liu Song Dynasty. Very interesting.

Read and also finished Louis Levy’s The Truth About France (Penguin, 1941). Very useful inside information about the workings and personnel of the unfortunate French Republic before and after her “murder”. Highly instructive, especially regarding the formation of the various parties.
