Product Description

Product Description

This reader for advanced students of Chinese presents ten post-1990 short stories by prominent writers such as Su Tong and Yu Hua, whose novels "Raise the Red Lantern and To Live" served as the basis for internationally acclaimed films. With its captivating content dealing with current social issues, it fills a gap in the literature for advanced language students who are eager to read extensively in "real" literature. Vocabulary lists free the student from the chore of constantly consulting a dictionary while reading, grammar and usage examples highlight new patterns, and questions for discussion explore the literary content. This all-fiction collection of contemporary works can be used as a text in language or literature courses or can be read independently.

5.0 out of 5 stars great intro to Chinese novel-reading, 22 Aug 2009
By Richard Almasi "TheHunn" (Europa) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Great advanced reader for getting into Chinese novel-reading.

It's a really fascinating book of short stories written by a large number of authors, they deal with current social issues in China - modernization etc.
So it's also a great way to learn more about China from a Chinese person's perspective.

There are grammar explanations and some comprehension excercises in each section.
