Chinese BBSes and Unicode ANSi Art

Frederic Cambus April 14, 2020 [Ansi Art]

After doing my series on Taiwanese BBSes (first part, second part), I also took some screenshots from two Chinese BBS systems, but only found those files again recently.

Those screens were captured in March 2013 and cover Lilac and NewSMTH systems. While I could not find much English information about Lilac, which seems to be located in Hong Kong, there is a Wikipedia page about SMTH which appears to have had a complicated history.
