内容简介 This book is suitable for ages 9 to 12 years. This text is in Chinese & English. A celestial princess marries a mortal man and gives birth to a son. Her brother, a guardian god, tries to stop her from seeing her human family to restore heavenly order, by imprisoning her under a huge mountain. Sixteen years later, the half-human, half-god son grows up to be a powerful young man and comes back to save his mother.This story belongs to the Golden Peach "Chinese Culture Readers" - "Legends and Folktales" series, which collects and retells the most treasured, timeless Chinese myths, legends, fairytales and folktales that have captured hearts and imaginations for over a thousand years. The story is retold in English for general readers interested in Asian culture and literature, catered specifically to a multicultural audience. Chinese text in the bottom of pages will be a great supplement for readers who can read Chinese or wish to learn more of the language. As the "Chinese Culture Readers" series is loosely levelled for different age groups based on their abilities to understand the culture and history, this story targets mostly preteen to teenage readers. Additionally, detailed notes on Chinese culture in the back will help enhance readers' understanding of the stories as well as of their historical and social backgrounds, while full color illustrations highlight some important scenes.

编辑推荐 Review As a child, these tales nourished my imagination and ability to love and to hate. They introduced me to fantasy lands full of characters with courage, integrity and goodness. They made me understand that tragedies are not necessarily sad, because tender hearts usually achieve happiness and satisfaction through sorrow. In a word, they have made me what I am today, a writer, whose livelihood depends on compassion and fascination. As modern renditions and artful adaptations of these ancient tales, this series has brought out the most touching elements and core spirit, drama and beauty of the old stories, yet at the same time given them a new life and charm catered to young readers today --- -- --Geling Yan, Award winning writer - Author of The Banquet Bug
As my daughters are getting older, I have been wanting them to know the best stories from the Chinese culture, but have found it hard to locate a version with the right kind of story-telling suitable to their ages and American taste, that could draw and hold their attention, and strike a chord in their hearts. I am happy to have been presented this series. Beautiful stories beautifully retold, in a refreshing way and with age appropriate gradings, this edition is the finest I ve ever seen, definitely something I would like my children to read and grow up on. --Joan Chen, award winning director/actress- Leading role, The Last Emporer
These are the stories I've been waiting to read since childhood classic tales, vividly retold, and beautifully illustrated in ways that stimulate the imagination. The questions posed are important ones to young minds how things happen and why, as well as the consequences of personal choices. They are what I pondered as a child experiencing my own twists and turns in life. And those were the thoughts that very much influenced my becoming a writer. As these stories show, there are no simple answers, but with imagination you can go to many places and find many possibilities. These are magical stories for everyone. ----Amy Tan, Author of The Joy Luck Club - Creative Consultant to the PBS television series Sagwa
