Synopsis

A collection of short stories written by an accomplished Chinese-American writer Minglu Zeng. This collection includes some award-winning works in their original Chinese version, one of which was adapted into the film Alice Agonistes.

I have always felt that a writer's mission is to effectively express the inherent quality of things and the broad sense of humanity. A work so created, I believe, can maintain its artistic appeal and be appreciated by any reader, regardless of his or her race, religion, language, culture, age, gender, or profession. In reading Minglu's works, I am sure you will find that she is a gifted writer who successfully accomplishes this mission.
—— William Marr, bilingual poet and former president of Illinois State Poetry Society

From the spiritual background of the Shang dynasty to the backdrop of the Cultural Revolution, from a China’s remote village to a Western town, this wonderful short story collection lets you experience a wide diversity of life and conflict.
—— Yingcai Xu, author of Selected Works of Contemporary Chinese Prose
