Trojan Rooster
This is a collection of 12 short stories written by Chinese author Quan Zhang. The first story, titled "Colonel Ma's Father," was previously published in the 1996 winter issue of Folio: A literary Journal. In the second story titled "The balcony", the author used the stream of consciousness and disrupted time sequence that William Faulkner had used so well in his novel, The Sound and the Fury. As in Faulkner's novel, the protagonist is mentally challenged. From his place of imprisonment on the balcony of his family's apartment, in a privileged residential compound, he watches the unfolding of some of the madness of the Cultural Revolution. The author then wrote a half dozen more stories including "The Birds & Bees in Beijing," "The Bridge," "Chimeras," "Chicken Blood Therapy," "The Jaundice Ward" and "Trojan Rooster," all of which were accepted and published in various literary journals.

HISTORY OF THREE KINGDOMS
The Twenty-Four Histories (Chinese: δΊεεε²) are the Chinese official historical books covering a period from 3000 BC to the Ming dynasty in the 17th century. The Han dynasty official Sima Qian established many of the conventions of the genre. Starting with the Tang dynasty, each dynasty established an official office to write the history of its predecessor using official court records. As fixed and edited in the Qing dynasty, the whole set contains 3213 volumes and about 40 million words. It is considered one of the most important sources on Chinese history and culture. The title "Twenty-Four Histories" dates from 1775 which was the 40th year in the reign of the Qianlong Emperor. This ...
Circuit Double Cover of Graphs
The famous Circuit Double Cover conjecture (and its numerous variants) is considered one of the major open problems in graph theory owing to its close relationship with topological graph theory, integer flow theory, graph coloring and the structure of snarks. It is easy to state: every 2-connected graph has a family of circuits covering every edge precisely twice. C.-Q. Zhang provides an up-to-date overview of the subject containing all of the techniques, methods and results developed to help solve the conjecture since the first publication of the subject in the 1940s. It is a useful survey for researchers already working on the problem and a fitting introduction for those just entering the field. The end-of-chapter exercises have been designed to challenge readers at every level and hints are provided in an appendix.
Expatriates
Between 1975 and 1995, about 500,000 Chinese emigrated from mainland China, Hong Kong and Taiwan to the United States. These included more than 100,000 mainland Chinese students, scholars and their families who were allowed to stay permanently in the United States in 1993. At that time, few literary works reflected the experiences of these new immigrants from mainland China and their new life in the United States. This novel involves a plumbing installation project at a mega-mansion. In this project, three participants from mainland China, each from different backgrounds, experience a series of irreconcilable contradictions and conflicts.
