[Tibeto-burman-linguistics] Prof. Mei Tsu-lin

[Randy LaPolla]

Thank you, Wolfgang.

For those who can read Chinese, here is a 1999 interview with Prof Mei shared by Zhao Tong:

沉痛悼念梅先生。1999年春，先生在北大讲学，我硕士二年级，做了一个访谈，题为“语言学：处在软科学与硬科学之间——梅祖麟教授访谈录”，发表在《中华读书报》1999年3月24日第九版。官方的网页（https://www.gmw.cn/03rili/ds1999gb.htm）打不开，只找到下面这个转载，以志怀念。
