The poems, which are loosely based on Classical Chinese forms, tell not only an exterior story, but also a story of internal shifting & transformation; they tell not only the story of the landscape's details, but what those details reveal.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKTen Thousand Miles of Clouds and Moons gathers sixteen phenomenal writers of the Chinese language in their English debut: eight fiction writers, six poets, and two essayists. Amongst these dazzling tellings, the planets are being pulled closer to the earth; a treasured classical fiction holds the secrets of the universe; shameful acts of urban ennui are committed over- and underground; a couple navigates the phantasmagoric border between life and death; the classrooms of the eighties and nineties are fleetingly free. Ranging from cityscapes to mountain ranges, ancestral lands to parallel worlds, these authors exhibit a panoramic vista of contemporary Chinese-language writing at its most imaginative and incisive, balancing intellectual power with lyrical enchantment to lend insight into a nation oscillating between tradition and modernity, apocalyptic visions and pedestrian loves, provocation and nostalgia, reality and dreamscapes.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKA unique blend of traditional folklore and contemporary customs brings the Chinese Mid-Autumn Festival to life. Two sisters and their grandmother celebrate a popular Chinese holiday with family. Their favorite part? Mooncakes, of course--along with Ah-ma's story of the ancient Chinese tale of Hou Yi, a brave young archer, and his wife, Chang'E. A long, long time ago, Hou Yi rescued the earth from the heat of ten suns. The Immortals rewarded him with a magic potion that could let him live in the sky with them forever. But when a thief tries to steal the potion, what will Chang'E do to keep it out of dangerous hands? The sisters are mesmerized by Ah-ma's retelling and the fact that the very mooncakes they enjoy each holiday are a symbol of this legend's bravest soul.
