Chinese literature offers the most satisfying glimpse into the mysterious and beautiful civilization of China of any of the means at our disposal. But we discover in its pages the same human conditions which color our own cultures today. Love, revenge, betrayal, honor...they all bring our humanity into sharper focus, cutting through the confusion of nationality and time to draw us closer together with a celebration of our own similarities.

As with the 1st of these books, Many are of an older historical time, which many of the chinese nationals do not even know of, very lovely stories with a warmth and hidden meaning in most of them, often liking to ones way of living,what you do is what is returned in one form or another. i really enjoyed listening to them

In December 1937, in the capital of China, one of the most brutal massacres in the long annals of wartime barbarity occurred. The Japanese army swept into the ancient city of Nanking and within weeks not only looted and burned the defenseless city but systematically raped, tortured and murdered more than 300,000 Chinese civilians. Amazingly, the story of this atrocity- one of the worst in world history- continues to be denied by the Japanese government.

Excellent listening and well worth learning or even knowing about..as to the events..research is an option to the facts for the reader, but whatever side you sit.the message of this story is clear,because today as I type history still repeats itself and always has denial in some quarters as to if it really happened and who was to blame. My daughter has to visit japan with me, and at 17yrs just to face her inbuilt deep hate of this historical event and its people, we all can argue to the end of time. but there are enough empty vessels in this world with self given titles of importance, so as if you need anything done in this world do it yourself,even before our trip my daughter has herself found some japanese at school have become good friends to her, and even they themselfs feared to talk to her at first due to this past event in their history. how sad even we pass our hate and fear of other cultures etc to our children..with the story I actually do not find that something like this could never happen, because we are of this nature all over the world, easy to destroy ..hard to welcome and be inviting to others without some personal gain,and to fear that which we do not know,I believe I experienced a brief window in to it in this book, the actual depth of the events I can not say if accurate 100% or not, still there must be some base to them. it is very well put across with sincerity and passion,and made me feel I was actually there at times so much I could not stop listening to it, I did not expect some of the content to keep popping up in my mind even after 3 years or more, but when thinking about that, shouldnt it be what the reading is about..to stop another Nanking in any form..
