Another great Chinese stammerer

Dong Yu

I’ve just updated my list of Great Chinese stammerers with the Southern Tang dynasty muralist Dong Yu—joining early luminaries such as Deng Ai, Han Feizi, and Sima Xiangru; and for the modern era, Feng Youlan and Gu Jiegang.

Much more under the stammering tag, including Pontius Pilate and the mad jailers, A Byzantine iconoclast, and Porky Pig; a musical Bodhisattva, and a young bard from Gansu; baroque, vaudeville, fieldwork, and blues; Gepopo, and a fine limerick sung as a canon; with my own notes on therapy, such as Modifying disfluency.
