		agentgumshoe on Oct 24, 2019 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: “May You Live in Interesting Times” I don't understand why Chinese historians don't seem to have been engaged here? I get finding the American reference source, but then the research just seems to leave it at that. Is this the scope of the site - just investigating local sources for quotes?

I think the site editor is a native English speaker, and I don't think the site has a team of speakers of other languages to help investigate non-English quote origins.
