Special General's Aloof Wife
This was already the fifth one tonight! His limbs were stiff and his pupils were dilated. His brain had been hit so hard that his cerebrospinal fluid had started to leak out. The red and white area looked like a tofu brain in tomato sauce. The lady in the white doctor's robe held the report. The pen in her hand was quickly scribbling a report of her death, seemingly unconcerned about it. Liu Mei slightly frowned. She could see that the woman's mood wasn't that beautiful. There are so many dead people these days.

The Global Architecture of Multilateral Development Banks
This book explores the evolution of the 30 functioning multilateral development banks (MDBs). MDBs have their roots in the growing system of international finance and multilateral cooperation, with the first recognisable MDB being proposed by Latin America in financial cooperation with the US in the late 1930s. That Inter-American Bank did not eventuate but was a precursor to the World Bank being negotiated at Bretton Woods in 1944. Since then, a complex network of regional, sub-regional, and specialised development banks has progressively emerged across the globe, including two significant recent entrants established by China and the BRICS. MDBs arrange loans, credits, and guarantees for in...
Peach Flowers Blossom In Spring
Chase down by the man in black? Rushing 5km! A man was robbed by his own sister? This old lady does not care! He was almost disgraced by the crown prince's scheme? It wouldn't be too late for a gentleman to exact vengeance in ten years! Traveling through this rotten thing ... Difficult to catch! "The victor is the king, the loser ... "A lifetime of compensation." On top of the peach tree, he had a devilish face. His phoenix eyes were raised, bringing with it a sense of elegance. Her expression was cold and her eyes were as if she were looking at an idiot. "Should I pinch you?" "Sure, I'll let you pinch me later." The Celestial Immortal Cloud Road was a place to experience the four seasons. "Shui Ling, there is no such reason in this world. Just because I like you!" "Tang Yao, let go of me. The Myriad Miles Rivers and Mountains need you even more. We'll meet again in the next life." "In the next life, I will fight with you for the rest of my life. I will live the rest of my life!" When the fog gradually dissipated, who else could she be other than the water spirit? Who was the real chess piece meticulously designed by Lingxiao Palace? "As you wish in this golden age."
Tang Dynasty Tales
The book provides the most up-to-date and comprehensive survey of the genre of Tang tales in English, including discussions of the numerous Chinese studies from the last decade. Tang Tales itself contains the first annotated translations of these famous stories, which are deciphered and interpreted specifically for students and scholars interested in the medieval Chinese literature. Following the model of intertextual readings employed by Glen Dudbridge in The Tale of Li Wa (Oxford, 1983), the annotation points to the resonances to the classical texts; the translator's notes following each translation then explain how these references expand the meaning of the text. In addition to six transl...
A Tang Miscellany
Youyang zazu is an important Tang dynasty miscellany by the erudite and well-traveled chronicler, Duan Chengshi (c. 800-863). Duan collected over thirteen hundred anecdotes, notes, and tales, which he recorded based on firsthand information, hearsay, and books. Duan's entries treat a fantastically broad array of subjects, including tattoos, fancy foods, supernatural occurrences, flora and fauna, temple art of Chang'an, and falconry. A Tang Miscellany: An Introduction to 'Youyang zazu' includes a biographical sketch of Duan, a textual history of the miscellany, a summary of the content of the collection, and a selection of 145 translations.
City of Marvel and Transformation
During the Tang dynasty, the imperial capital of Chang’an (present-day Xi’an) was unrivaled in its monumental scale, with about one million inhabitants dwelling within its walls. It was there that one of the most enduring cultural and political institutions of the empire—the civil service examinations—took shape, bringing an unprecedented influx of literati men to the city seeking recognition and official status by demonstrating their literary talent. To these examination candidates, Chang’an was a megalopolis, career launch pad, and most importantly, cultural paradigm. As a multifaceted lived space, it captured the imaginations of Tang writers, shaped their future aspirations, and...
Tales from Tang Dynasty China
Compiled during the Song dynasty (960-1279) at the behest of Emperor Taizong, the Taiping Guangji anthologized thousands of pages of unofficial histories, accounts, and minor stories from the Tang dynasty (618-907). The twenty-two tales translated in this volume, many appearing for the first time in English, reveal the dynamism and diversity of society in Tang China. A lengthy Introduction as well as introductions to each selection further illuminate the social and historical contexts within which these narratives unfold. This collection offers a wealth of information for anyone interested in medieval Chinese history, religion, or everyday life.
