Li Xiangting interview on CCTV

[Charlie Huang]

This was a documentary called "Dajia" [Great Masters] broadcasted on CCTV in May this year. Five parts in all.

The original video was from Jonathan's site, but I downloaded it, converted it and re-setted it for YouTube upload so it can be more accessible to a wider audience without the need to download such a huge file. I would have translated the subtitles but that was too much a majot feat (plus, I couldn't translate the bits without subs so it would be silly to have gaps). Hope you understand most of what's going on there by reading the Chinese subs...

Hi Charlie

I've just watched the documentary and it's so very interesting! Thanks for that. Do you know if it'd be possible to somehow download or save a copy of this program so that it's watchable on TV or on my computer at home which isn't connected to the internet? Or do I have to go online everytime I want to watch it? If there's a way of downloading this documentary - and other interesting programs that you have on that website - I'd be very keen to find out!

*P.S. BTW, I also know someone who went to Beijing for the guqin conference this month, though I can't tell you anything as I haven't had the chance to speak with that person yet. Maybe other fellow guqin enthusiasts know something?

Download from here:

It's a real player file so you must have the appropriate software installed, then burn it to VCD or whatever by that software.

Believe you me, it took me ages to try to find a free software that will fully convert the .rmvb file to mpeg format so I can upload to YouTube...

I just clicked on the link but this page opens and says that "the page cannot be displayed". Maybe the link's no longer valid?

The website maybe down at the moment. Wait until tomorrow and it should be back online.
