Meeting 14 May 2022

Introduction

This, the 118th meeting of the London Youlan Qin Society, was held online using Zoom. It was the first time in more than two years that our society has held a yaji meeting in person. Participants unable to attend in person were still able to join online via Zoom, which enabled qin friends around the world to join our meeting.

The meeting began at 12 pm UK time and ended at approximately 4:00 pm. Dennis Lee introduced the yaji and welcomed everybody. Charles Tsua was MC, and Viola Qiu handled the technical side.
