So, the book is essentially my day-to-day activities of traveling from Tokyo, Japan to Shanghai China, and then the course of 4 months through China, including the Great Wall of China, the terracotta warriors at Xi'an, the granite cliffs along the Li River from Guilin to Yangshou, and finally leaving China via the modern city of Shenzhen to Hong Kong. As a side, the 1991 Rugby World Cup is going on in Europe, where I have included newspaper clippings and only two years after the Tiananmen Massacre. I have published my accounts on my Wordpress account in 2019.

"Dream and Swine and Aurora," "Deep in the Rubber Forest," "Fish Bones," "Allah's Will," "Monkey Butts, Fire, and Dangerous Things"—Ng Kim Chew's stories are raw, rural, and rich with the traditions of his native Malaysia. They are also full of humor and spirit, demonstrating a deep appreciation for human ingenuity in the face of poverty, oppression, and exile. Ng creatively captures the riot of cultures that roughly coexist on the Malay Peninsula and its surrounding archipelago. Their interplay is heightened by the encroaching forces of globalization, which bring new opportunities for cultural experimentation, but also an added dimension of alienation. In prose that is intimate and atmospheric, these sensitively crafted, resonant stories depict the struggles of individuals torn between their ancestral and adoptive homes, communities pressured by violence, and minority Malaysian Chinese in dynamic tension with the Islamic Malay majority. Told through relatable characters, Ng's tales show why he has become a leading Malaysian writer of Chinese fiction, representing in mood, voice, and rhythm the dislocation of a people and a country in transition.

A personal narrative spanning the entire career of the author, from her marriage in 1947 when she and her husband Ted set sail for China as missionaries. Because of the political repression in China at the time, they were forbidden to enter China itself. They spent the following 30 years in ministry to the Chinese people outside of China in the U.S. Finally in 1979 they were able to travel freely in China. The book of 28 chapters recounts those adventures and brings the span of the book to 2021 with an update on the situation in China.

Both a study in common humanity and one man's memoir of one of the world's most celebrated overland journeys, The Slow Boat to China focuses on the author's travels from Tokyo to Moscow with his best friend and traveling companion, mainly using railways such as the Trans-Siberian. Exploring the nomadic, mysterious cultures of Mongolia and Kazakhstan, as well as the dominating influences of China and Russia, this work depicts a journey which spans a great distance of the globe. Completing the experience are the day-to-day habits of the people of each of these cultures, who fundamentally seek to live in contentedness and in order; together.

A startling novella from the heir to Haruki Murakami and Gabriel García Márquez Trapped in Tokyo, left behind by a series of girlfriends, the narrator of Slow Boat sizes up his situation. His missteps, his violent rebellions, his tiny victories. But he is not a passive loser, content to accept all that fate hands him. He attempts one last escape to the edges of the city, holding the only safety net he has known - his dreams. Filled with lyrical longing and humour, Slow Boat captures perfectly the urge to get away and the necessity of finding yourself in a world which might never even be looking for you.
