Title: If three men wrote it, then it must be true...
Product review: There is a saying in Chinese that if one man sees a tiger in the market alone then it is not true, but if a second man sees it too, then perhaps it may be true but if a third man sees a tiger in the market then, it must be true. Thus, "mother of writing" for the Hmong is like VERY SIMILAR to this Chinese proverb. Since more than three people have seen it then it must be true, especially, two of the authors are Hmong and one is a non-Hmong author. But for me, I would beg to be differ from this proverb. If we were to sit and analyze the whole writing system developed by so called the "mother of writing," we will find that the characters are very similar to other writing systems around the region of Asia countries including the former USSR/Russia. Thus, I read this book as a fairytale, nothing more for this particular subject.
