Excerpt from Chinese Merry Tales Here was a man who was about to leave home. He directed his son thus: When I am away, if anyone enquire after your respected elder (father) you may reply thus My father has gone out; please come in and have some tea. As the son was rather stupid, the father, fearing he might forget, wrote down these few sentences on a piece of paper and handed it to his son. His son put the paper in his sleeve. When he has occasion to use it, he would secretly take out the paper and have a peep at it. For three days no one came to enquire after his father. The son said The writing is no earthly use. That night he burnt the paper before the lamp. When the fourth day came, a visitor happened to call and asked Where is your respected elder? The son searched his sleeve for half a day and could not find the paper. He told the visitor: It is lost. (mu liao also means dead). When the visitor heard these words, he was much surprised and replied When did he die I burned him (it) last night, the son replied.

Chinese children's stories include: How Pan Ku Made the World The God that Lived in the Kitchen The Daughter of the Dragon King The Grateful Fox Fairy The King of the Monkeys The Wonderful Pear Tree Ko-Ai's Lost Shoe Heng O, the Moon Lady The Old Old One's Birthday

China Tales and Stories: HOU YI AND CHANG E (Chinese-English Bilingual) Hou Yi and Chang E is perhaps the most romantic tale in the entire Chinese literary tradition. The story reminds us that dedicated, heroic lives and beautiful, enduring love are not only compatible, but are always possible - quite often even going hand in hand... Hou Yi and Chang E is a tale from the Mead-Hill collection, China Tales and Stories. It follows the journey of a young man sent from Heaven to perform an important task on earth. Equally powerful and memorable are the relationship between the young man and his wife, how she helps him in critical ways with the task, and how the two move off into an adventuresome future together. An unlikely intervention destroys that future together, but not without launching something larger still in the universe: a special love and a special day and a special confection and a special way of celebrating love and familial and interpersonal intimacy, year after year. The story of Hou Yi and Chang E is so loved and so famous that not only is every Chinese person aware of it, but it has even grown to be swept up into the most romantic holiday of the year - the Mid-Autumn Festival. (This holiday celebrates an important point in the China calendar, roughly corresponding in time to the "harvest moon" in the West. For more about these ideas, please see Mead-Hill's, China Thinking - An Introduction.) Hou Yi and Chang E is available in multiple languages and Mead-Hill language combinations. http: //mead-hill.wixsite.com/mead-hill
