Si vous habitez en France et etes autiste, svp prenez 3 secondes pour aider des étudiant.es en socio mdr

(shooting my shot, just in case any of my followers can answer, even if you dont understand this post since its in french please share so it can reach more people!)

Dans le cadre d’un cours de Sociologie de la Santé, nous cherchions à enquêter des personnes autistes pour comprendre dans quelle mesure elles sentent que faire partie d’une minorité influence le processus de diagnostic officiel de l’autisme. Si vous pouviez prendre 5 minutes pour répondre (ou le partager à quelqu’un qui pourrait se sentir concerné) ça serait trop sympa ^^. On sait bien qu'en France, c'est assez difficile d'obtenir un diagnostic officiel, et encore plus quand on est pas un homme cisgenre/quand on est une personne racisée/d'un milieu social moins favorisé. Avec cette enquète on cherchais à mettre en avant le ressenti des personnes autistes à ce propos ("miorisées" ou non, d'ailleurs).

Si vous répondez et voulez voir les résultats de notre petite enquète, vous pouvez laisser votre mail dans la dernière case de "choses à ajouter", à part ça, toutes les réponses sont anonymes.

Aussi si vous etes pas personnellement concernés mais connaissés des personnes qui pourraient l'etre svp partagez svp svp :).

hello

[spiroutualism]

"He would not fucking say that" but it's "He would not handle someone having a breakdown in front of him like that."

I'm boggled. This isn't the same thing as in the letter, is it?

Thank you so much for the ask!! Good job on spotting the difference!

Posting the letter again for reference:

So you're right, on the rock it reads 張仲仁 (Cheung Chong Yan in standard cantonese romanisation), while on the envelope the name is 張仲文 (Cheung Chong Man). Hergé’s real life Chinese friend is 張充仁 (Cheung Chong Yan), so the romanisation would be the same as the name in your ask. 

HOWEVER, those are just romanisations (which are less accurate but easier for foreigners to pronounce). Their actual pronunciations in cantonese (spoken in Hong Kong) / mandarin (spoken in mainland China including Shanghai) are different:

張充仁 = Tcheung Chong Yun* / Zhang Chongren

張仲文 = Tcheung Tchong Mun / Zhang Zhongwen

張仲仁 = Tcheung Tchong Yun / Zhang Zhongren 

* 'Tch-' is similar to J sound; '-ong' is OW-ng; '-un' as in under

As you can see, there’s a bit of a mix and match. But I think it makes sense to change the first word in his given name into 仲 given that the story says Chang is from HK, because we seldom use 充 in our names (perhaps more common in mainland China, not 100% sure). 

Another fun fact for you on the meanings of those given names~ 

充 = full of

仲 = still be (only in cantonese)

仁 = love for all beings/ benevolence

文 = cultured/ gentle

Both 仁 and 文 are commonly used here across different generations and genders. So I think both translations are pretty nice!!

Also, I just spotted that the stamps in the top right corner are of Queen Elizabeth II and King George VI:

Not so good at maintaining consistency but good attention to detail, I must say :)
