In his own time (701-762), Li Bai's poems--shaped by Daoist thought and characterized by their passion, romance, and lust for life--were never given their proper due by the official literary gatekeepers. Nonetheless, his lines rang out on the lips of court entertainers, tavern singers, soldiers, and writers throughout the Tang dynasty, and his deep desire for a higher, more perfect world gave rise to his nickname, the Banished Immortal. Today, Bai's verses are still taught to China's schoolchildren and recited at parties and toasts; they remain an inextricable part of the Chinese language. With the instincts of a master novelist, Ha Jin draws on a wide range of historical and literary sources to weave the great poet's life story. He follows Bai from his origins on the western frontier to his rambling travels as a young man, which were filled with striving but also with merry abandon, as he raised cups of wine with friends and fellow poets. Ha Jin also takes us through the poet's later years--in which he became swept up in a military rebellion that altered the course of China's history--and the mysterious circumstances of his death, which are surrounded by legend. [This book] is an extraordinary portrait of a poet who both transcended his time and was shaped by it, and whose ability to live, love, and mourn without reservation produced some of the most enduring verses"--Dust jacket.

Winner of the Nebula Award. The Three-Body Problem is a masterpiece of enormous scope and vision, written by Cixin, Liu, the most prevailing science fiction writer in China today and tells a story set against the backdrop of China's Cultural Revolution. Back in those days, Hongan , a secret military project, aiming to explore outer space civilization and establish contact with aliens, had made breakthrough progress. But when Wenjie Ye pressed the launch key, she didn't know the destiny of human beings had been completely changed. The first signal from the earth, with the sun as its center, dashed forward to the deeper side of the universe. Four light years away, the Three-Body civilization is in big trouble. Just like the earth, they also revolve around the sun, but quite randomly. After hundreds of destruction and resurrection, they were forced to break away from the home planet. And at the very moment, they received the message from the earth. After locking the earthman's basic science with super technology, the huge universe fleet of the Three-Body started to march towards the earth. The destiny of human beings was approaching." --Amazon.
