Yes, Brothers and Sisters of The Shakespeare Code…..
…..after MONTHS of negotiation…….
….. AT THE HIGHEST POSSIBLE LEVEL……
……with THE EMBASSY OF THE PEOPLE’S REPUBLIC OF CHINA in LONDON…..
The Code’s Chief Agent has secured the INALIENABLE RIGHT…..
…….of EVERY CITIZEN OF CHINA…..
……to follow TRIXIE THE CAT…..
At the beginning of September, 2012, The Shakespeare Code received…..
ITS FIRST EVER VIEWS FROM CHINA!!!
…..they came silently, in the night…..
So it is with DELIRIOUS DELIGHT that The Code adds the Flag of China to its serried ranks….
CHINA
…. bringing the number of participating countries to…..
ONE HUNDRED AND THIRTY-FIVE!!!
HOW HAS THIS MIRACLE COME ABOUT?
When the GREAT Chinese Prime Minister, WEN JIABAO……
……came to England last year [2011], he visited Stratford-upon-Avon…..
…..and watched part of Hamlet being performed at John Shakespeare’s house…..
WEN JIABAO, who loves The Bard, said that Shakespeare was……
…a figure who belongs not only to the U.K. but to the world – a great man who belongs not just to his era but to entire history…..
THE SHAKESPEARE CODE CONCURRED UTTERLY…..
….and to that end, wrote to the Honourable Minister Counsellors of The Cultural Section of the Chinese Embassy…..
…… in London’s imposing Portland Place…
For some time The Agents had been concerned, that, while there were plentiful VIEWS of The Shakespeare Code from Hong Kong, Taiwan and Macao…….
….there were none from MAINLAND CHINA itself….
This situation has now been rectified…..
ANOTHER GLORIOUS REVOLUTION IN CHINESE THOUGHT!!!
The Code’s Chief Agent, Stewart Trotter, has the HIGHEST RESPECT for Chinese Culture……
As a child in Papua, New Guinea, he listened spell-bound to Crop Production Figures on Radio Peking…
…..as an undergraduate in Cambridge, Chairman Mao’s Little Red Book was his constant study….
….and he has practised CHINESE ACUPUNTURE in London (both privately and for the N.H.S.) for the last….
……TWENTY-TWO YEARS……
(See: www.stewarttrotter.com)
He also tells Fortunes for the Great and the Good by consulting the Classsic of Changes…..
……the sublime I Ching….
CHINA’S EMBRACE OF THE SHAKESPEARE CODE IS HIS GREATEST DAY YET!!!
A Tail-Piece from Trixie the Cat…
Well done, Stewart. I can see its going to be Beer Roasted Peking Duck all round at The Code tonight….
‘Bye, now….
