To promote the value of reading among us, and to encourage more people to stroll through the library and explore the ocean of books, Mandarin Inn <\/strong>has good book recommendations for you, which show the charm of reading.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1.The Dream of Red Mansion <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

  \u300a\u7ea2\u697c\u68a6\u300b<\/strong>It is one of the four great ancient Chinese masterpieces<\/strong>, ranking first in the Chinese novel rating list. \u201cDream of the Red Chamber\u201d is an encyclopedia-style novel.<\/strong> Taking the love tragedy of Jia Baoyu<\/strong> and Lin Daiyu<\/strong> as the main thread and the rise and fall of the four major families as the background, this article depicts various aspects of feudal society in 18th-century China, as well as the emergence of emerging capitalist democratic ideas under feudal dictatorship. The structure is grand, the plot is tactful, the details are exquisite, the character images are lifelike, and the voice is vivid, making it a classic in ancient Chinese novels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. The Road to Dune.  \u300a\u901a\u5f80\u6c99\u4e18\u4e4b\u8def\u300b<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

It was recommended by the Chairman of the APM Charity Organization<\/strong>. Let\u2019s check out why he was drawn to this book deeply.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWell, the \u2018Road to Dune\u2019 <\/strong>is an alternative story to the first Dune, the book by Frank Herbert. <\/strong>It has been written by Brian Herbert <\/strong>(the son of Frank Herbert) and Kevin J. Anderson. The original story is based on some file Brian found in his father\u2019s archives, a short novel, written before Dune and never published. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is set in the Universe of Dune<\/strong>, with most of the Characters present and about the same situation: Duke Leto<\/strong> is sent to take care of the planet Arrakis<\/strong> to manage the Spice production instead of his archnemesis cousin Baron Vladimir Harkonnen. Same intrigue as the published Dune, but the story is much simpler as it doesn\u2019t involve Bene Gesserit or Kwisatz Haderach, Paul here is just a normal kid, and Duke Leto is the main character here. And that\u2019s why I love that book! That\u2019s why I want to share it with you. <\/strong>I needed more of the Duke, and here it is, served on a Plate: The Duke<\/strong> we know from the original book, but not feeling helpless a single bit by the situation and ready to give a sweat to Barons and Emperors alike. Who knows, he might even beat them at their own game.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3.The Three-Body Trilogy <\/strong>  \u300a\u4e09\u4f53\u300b<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is the best-selling science fiction novel<\/strong> in China. The Three-Body Trilogy, originally known as the “Earth’s Past Trilogy,” is the first full-length series by renowned Chinese science fiction writer Liu Cixin<\/strong>. The novel tells the story of an accidental interstellar communication during the Cultural Revolution that triggered the invasion<\/strong> of the Three-Body World into Earth, as well as grudges<\/strong> between human civilization and the Three-Body Civilization that followed for over 300 years. After its publication, the Three-Body Trilogy sold well and was highly praised by readers and mainstream media. It is widely regarded as a milestone<\/strong> in Chinese science fiction literature and has established a new height for Chinese science fiction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A Chinese reader comments that never before has such a novel shocked him so much. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

4.Finding the Way to China<\/strong>  \u300a\u5bfb\u8def\u4e2d\u56fd\u300b<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This book is t<\/strong>he most popular travel literature<\/strong>, telling the experience of Peter Hessler<\/strong>, an American, driving around the Chinese Mainland.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cFinding the Way to China\u201d is the final song of his Chinese documentary trilogy. These three books span a decade, from 1996 to 2007<\/strong>. It explores the economy, tracks the source of development, and explores individual responses to change. It studies the core issues of China<\/strong>, but does not achieve this goal by interpreting famous political or cultural figures, nor does it engage in macro and inappropriate analysis. It believes in showcasing the essence<\/strong> of China’s transformation by recounting the experiences of ordinary Chinese people<\/strong>. Peter often stayed in one place for several months or even years to track changes. He not only listened to Chinese people telling his own stories but also kept his eyes wide open as different people’s stories unfold in front of him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

5.Talk about Delicacy in Yashe
<\/strong>  \u300a\u96c5\u820d\u8c08\u5403\u300b<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This book is regarded as t<\/strong>he most famous gourmet books<\/strong> in China, written by Mr. Liang Shiqiu<\/strong>. He is widely recognized as one of the cultural masters<\/strong> of the generation in the Chinese-speaking world. Many of his literary works have spread both domestically and internationally, and are praised as classics by people. Among them, the “Yashe sketch”<\/strong> is his representative work, which has been printed in over 300 editions. \u201cTalk about Delicacy in Yashe\u201d is a concentrated demonstration of Mr. Liang Shiqiu’s talent in food culture<\/strong> all his life. If you also like eating, you can go to feast your mouth with this Gourmet<\/strong>!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
