"Xue Yiwei is a maverick in contemporary Chinese literature. He stays alone and aloof, far away from restive crowds back in his homeland. For him, to write is to make a pilgrimage to his masters: Joyce, Borges, Calvino, Proust. He writes with deep devotion and intense concentration. His fiction often meditates on life, history, violence, exile. This selection of stories can open a window into the fiction world he has constructed. As an admirer of his, I salute his courage, stamina, and his love of solitude." Ha Jin, winner of the National Book Award This volume features five stories--God's Chosen Photographer, "The True Story of a Family," "Winning the First Battle," "A Turning Point in History, and "The Veteran" with commentarires from Xiao Liu, Fraser Sutherland, Craig Hulst, Caroline A. Brown, Stephen Nashef, and Amy Hawkins.

This is the print version of the second issue of Chinese Literature and Culture (ISSN 2332-4287 print; ISSN 2334-1122 online), a journal published three times a year and available as a book series. This volume features: Six stories: "An Empty Home" by Xiu Bai, "Hunting Season" by Ying Chuan, "Journey of Conscience" by Yao Emei, "The Story of Hu Wenqing" by Wei Wei, "Defending the Teacher" by Xiao Su, and "Knowing Nobody, a Housemaid in Beijing" by Liu Qingbang, and Mu Tao's Lu Xun Prize winning essay: "Culture Has Blood and Flesh."

This book investigates handwritten entertainment fiction (shouchaoben wenxue) which circulated clandestinely during the Chinese Cultural Revolution. Lena Henningsen’s analyses of exemplary stories and their variation across different manuscript copies brings to light the creativity of these readers-turned-copyists. Through copying, readers modified the stories and became secondary authors who reflected on the realities of the Cultural Revolution. Through an enquiry into actual reading practices as mapped in autobiographical accounts and into intertextual references within the stories, the book also positions manuscript fiction within the larger reading cosmos of the long 1970s. Henningsen analyzes the production, circulation and consumption of these texts, considering continuities across the alleged divide of the end of the Mao-era and the beginning of the reform period. The book further reveals how these texts achieved fruitful afterlives as re-published bestsellers or as adaptations into comic books or movies, continuing to shape the minds of their audience and the imaginations of the past.

Zhu Shanpo's short story, "Visitors from Deep in the Mountains," recommended for translation by Xiao Su, another story-writer, serves as a reminiscence of a piece of Chinese life in modern history. Art, as useless as it is for practical purposes, plays a dominant role in the nourishing of the soul. In this beautifully written story, the content of the movie is never relevant, it is watching itself that matters. Interwoven with fate, resignation, pursuit of happiness, love, and human compassion, the sad, peaceful love story outside the movies touches a deeper part of our heart.In this world of fast tempo, access to the movie theater has become increasingly easy, but can we sit quietly and enjoy it like before?A trip to the cinema is a get-away from the real world for a brief moment. So, watch a movie if you can.For the convenience of language learners, the story is published in bilingual format.To go with this issue, we have two poems by Alice Tan, also in bilingual format.

The book examines the relationship between imperial examinations and literature from the perspective of restoring the cultural ecology of imperial examinations in Ming China, breaking through the paradigm of pure literature research. This book presents an important practice in adjusting the pattern of literary research. The contents of this book include five mutually independent but supportive parts: 1) the living conditions and careers of the literary attendants; 2) the educational background and school’s consciousness of the Ming literati; 3) top candidates and Ming literature; 4) genres of imperial examination and the Ming society; 5) exam cheating cases from the perspective of politics and literature. This book will appeal to readers interested in Chinese literature and culture and the imperial examination system in ancient China.

Editorial: "Every Falling Leaf Carries a Soul" by Chu Dongwei"Dust thou art, and unto dust shalt thou return." (The Book of Genesis) Between dust and dust is life and between peace and peace is all the commotion. Is it the breath that is all that matters?It is such a coincidence that the three translations in the current issue are haply linked together with a central theme: love in the chaotic world.Mozi, one of the great sages, advocates jian ai, love yourself, love others. He points out that all the problems in the world is caused by selfish love, love at the cost of others. Reciprocity is the cure. The idea of jian ai, better translated as "inclusive love" than "universal love" or "impartial love", does not denounce love of oneself and one's own family and one's own country; rather it suggests putting oneself in the shoes of others in order to achieve fair play. This consideration for others while looking after one's own interest is exactly the human decency we are badly in need of in today's world. How can the problems be worked out if persons, groups of persons and nations as the ultimate groups of persons constantly highlight their own interests and blame each other for what they are doing themselves? For a long time in modern history, decency has been glorified but now it seems a few people are taking over the world and bent on throwing it away because it is no longer useful. There is a great danger of a moral decay. So the ancient wisdom in "Jian Ai, or Inclusive Love (1)," a chapter of Mozi, is still relevant today."Someone Else's Story" by Jin Yi, one of China's modern Leftist writers, translated by Dr. Tian Lu, gives us a picture of the helplessness of the ordinary people of "Old China" in turmoil. Though the several farmers in the story are perfectly capable of love but they cannot afford love under those dire circumstances. Both men, in love with the "wife," unable to divide their love for her and unwilling to put it to a duel, decide to sell her to a richer man and let her go. It is someone else's story but why does it evoke sympathy? "Someone else's story," as Derek Hird points out in his in-depth commentary, "Jin Yi thus reminds us, is also our own." The "disorder" in the world, as described by Mozi, is the culprit behind the tragedy. A further investigation can reveal the real conspirators against mankind.In the third piece, "Every Falling Leaf Carries a Soul," poet He Guangshun, approaches a falling leaf and thus inquires: Is it the the soul's upward rise or the the flesh's downfall toward its demise? Then he gives his answer: Fragments of light sparkle, lighting the way of each and every home-bound wormEvery falling leaf carries a soul... Yes, every falling leaf carries a soul. Love yourself, love others and the world is at one

In this volume, Canadian author Patrick Kavanagh contributes an important piece: "Smutty Moll for a Mattress Jig: Cross-Cultural Collaboration in Beijing," a recollection of his encounter with the late Xiao Qian, who consulted him about the translation of the many colloquialisms while translating nearly-impossible Ulysses into Chinese. We also have Su Tong's masterpiece "West Window" translated by Prof. Feng Zhilin. Fraser Sutherland captures the spirit and subtlety of the story in his commentary with beautifully written lines like "A girl watches through a window. A boy watches the girl." Liu Chun's "Beijing Guys" is the story of a virgin girl being womanized by one of Beijing's "last bunch of friends in need and friends indeed," who are maintaining an old tradition in an increasingly unrecognizable city and become decadent, adulterous, and selfish. "The Postman" is the work of Lin Peiyuan, a promising young author. It is "a story that lets readers into village life in rural China." (Craig Hulst). "A Poet's Elm" by Xu Yi is the story of a former poet whose eye disease has ruined her career and is creating psychological problems. In the poetry section, we have something quaint: the beautiful lyrics of a petty official in the Qing Dynasty: "From Intoxication to Sobriety: the Ditties of Zhao Qingxi," something that has never been translated into English before.
