Adonis Li

Looking forward to sharing some new research at this workshop!

@northernassist Any news about a replacement bus at Lincoln? LNER and EMR seem to have sorted buses out for their cancelled services.

In September LSHH Historian, Adonis Li, participated in a conference on railway aesthetics. Unusually, this event took place aboard sleeper trains between Vienna, Bucharest, and Istanbul. Here is Dr Li delivering his paper in the royal waiting room at Bucharest Nord station.

Thanks @viviankonghk @hongkonghistory for organising this roundtable! It’s really good to catch up with you all @AdonisMYLi @Allan_Pang_ - so nostalgic and reminds me of how we spent time tgt as a study group during Covid! 📕🍻

My blog post on the @RSAsianAffairs website has just been uploaded. I talk briefly about K-pop, its transnational past and present, and how it informs thinking about East Asia today: rsaa.org.uk/blog/k-pops-ri…

@SY_Supertram Is the 1027 tram train from Cathedral to Parkgate cancelled then?

The tram at Woodbourn Road is now moving to Depot, Yellow and Tram Train services continuing with delays towards Cathedral / Middlewood.

My book - Liverpool and the Un-Making of Britain - is out today! Here is a thread I made earlier of extraordinary facts about the city's history to get everyone excited.

Third article of our water history project, an co-authored piece with Siu-hei Lai, 'Managing Water Consumption in Colonial Hong Kong: Separate Water Metering, c. 1965–1980s' is now available in Journal of Social History! @hkresearchhub #503562890" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">academic.oup.com/jsh/advance-ar…

1/ Girls' Generation's 2007 debut song "Into The New World" (다시 만난 세계) has become the ultimate protest song in S. Korea. Since martial law was declared last week, online streams have reportedly shot up. More about '다만세', the song of a generation:

Just a K-pop song originally, but it has become a protest anthem in recent years, expressing hope for a better future. Less catchy maybe, but more melodic and moving. x.com/i/status/18646…

@northernassist What's happened to the 06:35 and 07:37 trains from Sheffield to Lincoln?

Student I was counting on to nod throughout the lecture stopped nodding

At least once a season, someone on here would tweet ‘it’s always darkest before the dawn’ in relation to Leeds United. That went on for about 15 years
