Thank you very much for joining our conversation on LOTM, Wang Liqing! We really appreciate your descriptions of how Bai people from Heqing, Yunnan, hold a different perception on multilingual revitalization. Very important work indeed. One of my colleagues has shared this piece of work with his postgraduate students who are doing multilingual studies in Yunnan. Well-done!

It is under the guidance of Professor Li Jia that I just pay attention to the development status of the Bai language in Heqing. Whether we are minorities or not, we should pay attention to the development of minority languages. As a native minority, I hope when people are speak Putonghua that they still remember their minority languages. I hope the Bai language in my hometown and every minority language will not become things that just exist in the past, no matter how many years later!
