This week’s game: name a song which has 鱼 in the title! (Hard mode: name a song with 鱼 in the title which Zhou Shen has NOT recorded. I mean, I hope most people will not play on hard mode, because the more Zhou Shen the better, but he could put together a 鱼 album at this point!) Many thanks to the people who have been having fun with games in past weeks; everyone should feel free to jump in any time, no worries.

不好意思啊这一周评论回复很慢，我头疼了，现在都好了，低气压嘛。大家都好好保重身体！

Thank you for joining in last week’s chengyu game! We’ll do that again soon. This week’s game: post a chengyu with a number in it HIGHER than the number posted by the previous person. I will start with 珠零玉落.
Also, please let me know your thoughts if any on the chengyu game and other possible games, studying radicals, future grammar study options (we’re close to out of the Mandarin Bean page, and I am thinking about returning to the Chinese Grammar Wiki in some shape or form, but other options also good), and so on.

Today’s grab bag: sodagreen’s 我们不懂, Lu Zhuo’s 不放晴的雨季, Stefanie Sun’s 逆光 (on account of I’ve had it stuck in my head all week and now you guys can too).
Also, as proposed previously: game! Here’s a chengyu below: reply with another that starts with the final character, or contains the final character, or contains any of the characters, depending on how hard you want to make it. Next person replies to that along the same rules (does that make sense? Ask questions if not!). Multiple replies okay! No time limit, wait, let’s say time limit is this same post next week. For reference purposes I can't find any one ideal list-of-chengyu site, but googling "chengyu list" etc. will get you several options, as well as the "chengyu" tag here. Let’s try it and, like the man said, see what happens.

Have a bunch of clips of Wu Qingfeng singing live with a couple of acoustic guitarists; I think there are even more where these came from but it’s a good start.

谢谢大家前天建议很多好想法！对于新学年我继续想一想，一起往前吧。

慢慢喜欢你 in sign language (I assume Chinese Sign Language, but I haven’t looked close; the same channel has a few more signed songs too). Wikipedia tells me that there are northern and southern dialects of CSL, respectively ASL- and French Sign Language-influenced, and that Hong Kong Sign Language started out as part of the southern dialect but is now a distinct language; also that Taiwanese Sign Language is Japanese Sign Language-based and entirely unintelligible with the mainland dialects. Also that there are fingerspelling alphabets for both pinyin and zhuyin.
