Cooperation on the Sino-French War?

Hi, I am writing to you regarding your on-going wiki project on the Sino-French War. I am currently a MPhil student of East Asian Studies at University of Cambridge, and my MPhil thesis is about the representation of the Sino-French War,under the guidance of Prof. Hans van de Ven. I am about to finish my thesis in a week, and came across the wiki pages you contributed to the Sino-French War. I was surprised by the high quality of these pages and I really appreciate your efforts in continously editing and improving these pages. I would like to help you with this project. I am a Chinese native speaker, but went to college in the U.S. and am currently pursuing my graduate degree in Britain. I started my research on the Sino-French War about one year ago, and have been working with a number of primary resources such as communications between Robert Hart and James Duncan Campbell, the memorials to the Qing court, and copies of French official documents stored at Guangxi Archive, China. I think that I can potentially help with the project by editing the pages you created with reference to these primary resources. As to the secondary materials, you might want to look at Shao Xunzhen's book Zhongfa Yuenan Guanxi Shimo (邵循正 《中法越南关系始末》） - I think that is the most important academic book on the diplomacy between China and French on the Vietnam issue, far better than 龙章's book. Another book worthwhile to read is Huang Zhennan's Zhongfa zhanzheng guankui（黄振南《中法战争管窥》）. The author painstakingly cross-examined a great number of Chinese resources with French resources and offered a new pesperctive on the military history of the Sino-French War. Anyway, I am more than happy to learn that I am not the only person in this planet who studies the Sino-French War. I look forward to hear back from you.

Another enthusiast, and a better book than Lung Chang's: how splendid! I live and work in Hong Kong, but by the happiest of coincidences I will be flying back to the UK tomorrow evening for a three-week holiday. I will be staying with my parents in Northampton, and have a car in England, so I could come over to Cambridge one day to meet you if it didn't distract you from completing your thesis (I remember the feeling well). Perhaps you would like to write to me at this email address: davidwilmshurst@yahoo.com. If you let me have your contact telephone number, I will give you a call when I'm back in England.

I too had that feeling that I was the only person on the planet who studies the S-F War.
