The free side helps you understand; the Academy helps you use it, and read together.
Everything free on Yikonglu stays free: videos, text, plain renderings, readers. The Academy is for readers who want to bring the classics into daily life and read with others. It is not open yet; it opens when enough readers want it. The Academy itself is in Chinese.
