Three Kingdoms, A Historical Novel
"The Three Kingdoms gives us The Iliad of China. First of the five great works of traditional prose fiction, this master narrative transforms history into epic and has thereby educated and entertained readers of five centuries with unforgettable exemplars of martial and civic virtue, of personal fidelity and political treachery. Moss Roberts's translation, the first complete rendering in English, is one of surpassing excellence and impeccable scholarship. It should delight and captivate Western readers for many more years to come."—Anthony C. Yu, University of Chicago
Coronavirus Pandemic Syndrome
Dr. Zheng Ma, the visionary behind the groundbreaking coronavirus vaccine vector, finds himself at the heart of a global crisis as a devastating pandemic emerges from his beloved second hometown, Wuhan. In Dr. Zheng’s state-of-the-art laboratory, a team of expert scientists delves into the world of dangerous viruses, with a unique coronavirus sample distinct from any known strain. Dr. Zheng’s goal was to create a revolutionary vaccine by weaving HIV proteins into the coronavirus genome, aiming to halt the spread of AIDS. However, the coronavirus strain fuelling the epidemic in Wuhan bears little resemblance to Dr. Zheng’s creation, harbouring artificial insertions of an unknown nucleotide sequence. As Dr. Zheng grapples with the implications of his findings, he realizes his laboratory has never ventured into such uncharted territory, leaving him shrouded in doubt and uncertainty in a world forever changed.

Shanghai Filmmaking
In Shanghai Filmmaking, Huang Xuelei invites readers to go on an intimate, detailed, behind-the-scenes tour of the world of early Chinese cinema. She paints a nuanced picture of the Mingxing Motion Picture Company, the leading Chinese film studio in the 1920s and 1930s, and argues that Shanghai filmmaking involved a series of border-crossing practices. Shanghai filmmaking developed in a matrix of global cultural production and distribution, and interacted closely with print culture and theatre. People from allegedly antagonistic political groupings worked closely with each other to bring a new form of visual culture and a new body of knowledge to an audience in and outside China. By exploring various border crossings, this book sheds new light on the power of popular cultural production during China’s modern transformation.
