Zhou Junxun

Post by nagano »

Perhaps this is a question for John Fairbairn. Does anyone know what happened to Zhou Junxun's face? Is there nothing that can be done for him?

Mr. Fairbairn has not posted for a while, it seems, sadly that he has left the forum.

I can say that he has had the condition for as long as I have seen photos of him, but whether it is a pigment issue since birth or something that happened, I do not know.

I hardly think an absence since September 14th means he's left the forum. He probably is just extra busy, maybe compiling the December version of GoGoD.

OK, I'll leave if you want. Many a true word is spoken in jest.


Although it seems unlikely such an obvious joke would cause him to leave, you never know what will make someone upset (straws, camels, etc.)

Are you sure? I didn't realize they could be that large.

I didn't know anything about Zhou Junxun before reading that article, but from now on I'll be rooting for him.

Thanks for posting that. As an aside, how would you pronounce his name?

zhou = joe
jun = jewn
xun = shewn

try to say "junxun" with your tongue forward, by your teeth, and "zhou" with your tongue curled back on the roof of your mouth.
