China has been a wellspring of storytelling for over 2,000 years. Sadly, this fantastic literature is little known in the west outside the halls of academia, though a handful of recent 20th century authors have attained a respectable following. The stories in this volume date from the sixth century A.D. to the early part of the 20th century, and will give the listener a good feel for the subject. Astonishingly, the Chinese enjoyed from the earliest times many of the genres we take for granted today.

Chigear Nolte, or "the Cadre Politiqu"’ as the story portrays him--a simple man who had ordinary ambitions, who could make all your political rarity requests come true.

Cherished Chinese Proverbs is a bilingual collection of classic stories that have been passed down to generations of Chinese speakers. This work was originally designed as a supplement for students of Chinese as a Second Language, but in this publication we have broadened the focus. In offering these classic stories in both Chinese and English, it is hoped that native Chinese speakers might also benefit.

Императорский Китай, XV век. Тань Юньсянь — аристократка, и ее судьба, как судьбы тысяч других дочерей чиновников, предопределена: однообразная жизнь во внутренних покоях, невыносимые мучения от бинтования ног, а затем — брак по договоренности и непременная обязанность родить сына. Но после смерти матери отец отправляет юную Юньсянь к своим родителям-врачам, и там, под руководством бабушки, девочка с головой погружается в изучение медицины. Согласно конфуцианскому канону врачу-мужчине нельзя видеть женщин, а женщине-врачу — соприкасаться с кровью, но кто-то же должен исцелять женские недуги!

In this book, Wen-chin Ouyang shows how our experience of adab stories has the power to transform both our personal relationships and society. She draws on classic Arabic stories from the famous Thousand and One Nights and compares them with tales from the canonical Chinese novels Three Kingdoms, The Journey to the West, and Water Margin.

A historical narrative of Lee, John Steinbeck's Chinese cook in East of Eden; and Chinatown, San Francisco in the 19th century. The tale traverses both China and America in their most turbulent centuries; each wrestling with a national identity against the appearance of ‘foreigners’ on their shores. You will be hearing about the life of an ‘English-speaking Chinaman’; his travails within an infant but violent Chinatown, his survival in a hostile land with bilingualism as his only weapon, and a torrid forbidden love affair. Lee was a man whose time was not ready for him.
