Paperback. Condition: Fair. Published within a few months of each other in 1906, Stones in the Sea by Fu Lin and The Sea of Regret by Wu Jianren take opposite sides in the heated turn-of-the-century debate over the place of romantic and sexual love and passion in Chinese life. The Sea of Regret, which came to be the most popular short novel of this period, is a response to the less well-known but equally significant Stones in the Sea. Taken together, this pair of novels provides a fascinating portrait of early twentieth-century China's struggle with its own cultural, ethical, and sexual redefinition. Patrick Hanan's masterful translation brings together these novels -- neither of which has before been available in any foreign language -- in a single volume, with a valuable introduction and notes. A tour de force in the art of translation. 'The Sea of Regret' is not only accurate, but, in the typical Hanan fashion, it is succinct and elegant as well. Impeccable work from an eminent scholar of Chinese fiction and a master of prose. --Lee Ou-fan Lee, UCLA These two short novels are especially interesting for their insights into the debate in educated circles concerning marriage, family, and the status of women. The chaos in China caused by the Boxer Rebellion of 1900 is also vividly rendered in both works. Readers will find not only intrinsic interest but also historical relevance in these early modern novels. --Michael S. Duke, University of British Columbia Patrick Hanan is Victor S. Thomas Professor of Chinese Literature at Harvard University. He is the author of The Chinese Vernacular Story and The Invention of Li Yu and the translator of The Carnal Prayer Mat and A Tower for the Summer Heat. …

Paperback. Condition: Good. The fraught relationship between roommates is a true cultural obsession.

In The Roommates, people of all ages reveal their disastrous, hilarious, and sometimes moving stories of making their best friend for life or lifelong nemesis. Learn what it's like to share a room in places as unusual as a thirty-person beach house, a billionaire's yacht, a reality show mansion, and a retirement hotel, and those as familiar as sleep away camps, boarding schools, and college dorms.

Paperback. Condition: Very Good. This book starts with Dr. Joy Tianyun Wu observing one of her patients dying in a deep coma as a result of morphine application. That incident inspired her to search for answers to the question of Natural Conscious Dying. Dr. Wu's mother played a key role in her understanding of the value of cultural traditions where people gain so much wisdom and experience from life itself and not just from the medical system. Dr. Wu learned about the souls' existence through her life-long immersion in Chinese traditional culture, and story of her mother's childhood experience of soul calling tradition. The most inspiring in this book, however, is the story of Dr. Wu's great-grandmother's natural conscious dying. When Dr. Wu's great-grandmother, sensing her time of dying had arrived, refused enticements to eat food, take medicine or get a doctor, she simply told everyone she was ready to go. In addition, she asked people to forgive her if she had mistakenly accused them of misdeeds during her lifetime. Dr. Wu's great-grandmother represented an excellent model of the deep tradition of good dying. She also represented a revered role model as an elder who had lived a good life. Living a healthy life with the ability to predict our time of transition, and completely accepting it without any resistance, is certainly a healthy life cycle and a good death which all of us need to consider in modern life.In this book, Dr. Wu shares her experiences after observing cases using modern medical system protocols that appeared to create serious suffering for the dying individual and family members. It is something that inspired Dr. Wu to find alternative solutions reaching deep into the knowledge and wisdom of Traditional Chinese Medicine and cultural traditions. It is these solutions that she brings in her Natural Conscious Dying (NCD) concepts. The book shows you an amazing phenomena happening in these cases that the patients were received acupuncture and moxa at the last a few days or last hours. Dr. Wu gained a deeper level of understanding about the benefits of natural conscious dying for the soul. Here, in this book, she wants to share all of it with you The Power of Conscious Dying contains very rich information gleaned from life stories, clinical cases, cultural traditions, wisdom, Traditional Chinese Medicine knowledge, and spirituality. Those who care about their soul's journey should take a completely new approach to the inevitable event of dying. And this is exactly what this book is offering to give you.…

Paperback. Condition: Good. Mary and Ingrid are sisters who were born and brought up in China but now reside in the United States. Mary is the older of the two; seemingly a devoted wife, mother, and churchgoer. Yet she is tormented by adultery, a grudge toward her parents, and her despair at work. Her estranged sister Ingrid has never settled for anything; she prefers her bohemian friends' culture to her own, and is haunted by her college boyfriend's tragic death. When their widowed mother travels to the United States for the first time, they can't avoid a family get-together. Amid all it stirs up, it becomes clear that the uneasy relationship between the sisters has roots deeper than either had ever acknowledged--and extends to their parents and their homeland. Stretching from mid-century China to the United States at the turn of the millennium, Beautiful as Yesterday explores issues of identity, of family and friendship, love and loss. Written in beautifully crafted prose, this is a penetrating exploration of what it means to belong, and the impact of history and memories on one's life. …
