DOWNLOAD EBOOKFu Xi is the most important figure in Chinese culture, who lived six thousand years ago and invented the mysterious wordless book Fu Xi Code. Fu Xi Code actually passed two fundamental concepts, yin and yang, from nature God to human beings. In parallel, nature God also passed new knowledge to prophets in the West to promote Western civilization during the same time period. It is fair to say that Fu Xi represents a pair of philosophical concepts of yin and yang of Chinese culture. Fu Xi represents yin-and-yang philosophy. Fu Xi has established yin-and-yang philosophy as the foundation of Chinese culture. Fu Xi is well deserved as the founder of Chinese culture. Although a human's life may be unsatisfactory with a lot of sufferings and hardships, every human deserves a bosom friend of nature God. Where there is life, there is hope. The universe generates itself in a closed circle fashion following the laws of nature God. The earth generates itself in a tunnel spiral fashion with and without breaks. Human beings generate themselves in a straight-line fashion, going back and forth. Universe, earth, and human are all share destiny with nature. Fu Xi 64 Hexagrams Circle Square Chart will guide mankind following the laws of nature God.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe adventure-filled novels that introduced the world to the classic supervillain and his criminal organization. The most brilliant criminal the world has ever seen, Fu-Manchu is an expert polyglot and master chemist, adept in the manipulation of the rarest and deadliest poisons. An agent of a secret society bent on controlling the world, his mere gaze is enough to dull the sharpest minds of Great Britain. It is up to police commissioner Nayland Smith and his loyal friend Dr. Petrie to track the devil doctor from the opium dens of the East End to the deserts of Egypt and put an end to his fiendish plans . . . This series, originally written nearly a century ago, has become not only a pop-culture phenomenon—with the character Fu-Manchu appearing in films, on television, on the radio, and in comics—but also the subject of controversies and conversations about attitudes toward Asians at the time, as well as the historical relationship between East and West. This volume includes the first three novels in this wild adventure series: The Insidious Dr. Fu-Manchu, The Return of Dr. Fu-Manchu, and The Hand of Fu-Manchu.
