Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The most ambitious work of fiction by a writer widely considered the most important novelist working in China today In this darkly comic novel, a group of women inhabits a world of constant surveillance, where informants lurk in the flowerbeds and false reports fly. Conspiracies abound in a community that normalizes paranoia and suspicion. Some try to flee—whether to a mysterious gambling bordello or to ancestral homes that can only be reached underground through muddy caves, sewers, and tunnels. Others seek out the refuge of Nest County, where traditional Chinese herbal medicines can reshape or psychologically transport the self. Each life is circumscribed by buried secrets and transcendent delusions. Can Xue's masterful love stories for the new millennium trace love's many guises—satirical, tragic, transient, lasting, nebulous, and fulfilling—against a kaleidoscopic backdrop drawn from East and West of commerce and industry, fraud and exploitation, sex and romance.

Download or read book What Shamu Taught Me About Life Love and Marriage written by Amy Sutherland and published by Random House. This book was released on 2008-02-12 with total page 194 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While observing exotic animal trainers for her acclaimed book Kicked, Bitten, and Scratched, journalist Amy Sutherland had an epiphany: What if she used these training techniques with the human animals in her own life–namely her dear husband, Scott? In this lively and perceptive book, Sutherland tells how she took the trainers’ lessons home. The next time her forgetful husband stomped through the house in search of his mislaid car keys, she asked herself, “What would a dolphin trainer do?” The answer was: nothing. Trainers reward the behavior they want and, just as important, ignore the behavior they don’t. Rather than appease her mate’s rising temper by joining in the search, or fuel his temper by nagging him to keep better track of his things in the first place, Sutherland kept her mouth shut and her eyes on the dishes she was washing. In short order, Scott found his keys and regained his cool. “I felt like I should throw him a mackerel,” she writes. In time, as she put more training principles into action, she noticed that she became more optimistic and less judgmental, and their twelve-year marriage was better than ever. What started as a goofy experiment had such good results that Sutherland began using the training techniques with all the people in her life, including her mother, her friends, her students, even the clerk at the post office. In the end, the biggest lesson she learned is that the only animal you can truly change is yourself. Full of fun facts, fascinating insights, hilarious anecdotes, and practical tips, What Shamu Taught Me About Life, Love, and Marriage describes Sutherland’s Alice-in-Wonderland experience of stumbling into a world where cheetahs walk nicely on leashes and elephants paint with watercolors, and of leaving a new, improved Homo sapiens.

Download or read book The Three Magical Wishes of a Simple Peasant written by AQEEL AHMED and published by AQEEL AHMED. This book was released on 2024-03-24 with total page 31 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Three Magical Wishes of a Simple Peasant Bio: A simple but great farmer named Leo lived in the middle of a lovely, green town where the hills whispered and the streams sang. Leo was known all over the world not for his wealth or area but for his unbreakable spirit and love that would never end. Through his actions, he showed that real wealth is not gold but kindness. His story is full of magic and wisdom. It starts with the simple act of helping a creature in need, showing that the ordinary can be very important. Leo's whole world changes when he meets a fairy, a magical being that looks like a hurt bird. The fairy likes how kind Leo is all the time. This exchange that seems unimportant turns into an amazing experience. Leo makes three magical wishes, and the fairy thanks him for being caring. This sets the stage for a story that has both magical and normal parts, as well as fate and free will. The main ideas of the story—how powerful kindness can be, how important real friendship is, and how important it is to be smart when making choices—are emphasized by Leo's choices as he learns how to use his new skills. Every wish is an expression of his deepest beliefs and who he is at his core, like a mirror for his soul. Leo's journey is a mix of moral dilemmas, heartfelt victories, and the odd mistake that they can't avoid. From wanting his town to do well to wanting to connect with nature more and finally wanting to heal, he had many good intentions. Even though it seems simple, this story is about a lot of things that are important to people, like the weight of responsibility, the never-ending search for happiness, and the results of our actions. Young readers (and maybe even adults who still feel young) will learn that friendship is valuable, kindness is what makes magic happen, and information can be found in the strangest places. This is more than just a story about three wishes. It's a message of hope and a lesson that we can all do one nice thing each day to make the world a better place. In Summary: Leo was an honest farmer who wore kindness as his scepter and simplicity as his crown. He lived in a community where new songs were sung every morning and stories from the past were told at night. Starting with a kind act toward a hurt bird, his life, which was made up of kind deeds and genuine smiles, was about to be stitched with magical and beautiful threads. He had no idea that this little being was a fairy, a celestial being touched by Leo's great kindness who chose to give him three magical wishes as a gift that would last forever. Leo set out on a trip that took him out of his normally calm life and into adventures that tested his bravery, kindness, and intelligence. With each wish, he went further into the supernatural, finding deep truths within and the amazing things that lay beyond. He made his first wish because he wanted the other people in the town to do well. It came true, and the crop was so good that it made everyone happy and proud. But as the community's wealth grew, jealousy and greed from outside the community broke out. This made Leo protect not only the realization of his ideal, but also the basic peace in his society. The second goal Leo had let him connect with nature and work with animals. This dream, a song of whispers in the wind and forest secrets, fed his soul more than any money could have. It taught him about balance, respect, and how all living things are connected. He was moved by the thought of a world without pain, so Leo's last wish was for the gift of healing. He was a living example of a healer because he could ease pain, treat illnesses, and bring people back to life with just a touch or word. But during the process, he learned the most important truth of all: the best healing comes from love, compassion, and a desire to make other people better. After a magical, brave, and wise trip, Leo learned that what really brings happiness and joy are community ties, small acts of kindness, and living a life lived for others. His story, a rich tapestry of hopes, struggles, and successes, shows us that the most magical events are the ones that move the heart and awaken the spirit. Chapter 1: Leo was a kind-hearted farmer who lived in a small, busy town surrounded by hills and streams that flowed slowly. Leo wasn't like most people in the town. He wasn't famous for his money or flashy things, but for having a huge heart. It was clear at night in this town, and Leo stood out like a bright light. Everyone knew each other, and stories were told like hot pie slices. His home was simple, with floors that danced with daily joys and walls that echoed with laughter. Leo didn't have a lot of money or jewelry, but he was rich in other ways, which made his life even more magical. Leo's kind heart moved through the world like a calm river, affecting everyone it met. Leo always had a smile on his face, even when it was very cold outside. He did this while helping a friend fix their roof or sharing the last piece of bread on the table. Being kind wasn't something he did; it came naturally to him. People in the countryside used to say that Leo's garden would have the most fruit and vegetables in the whole country if kindness could be grown there. Leo was always willing to help others, even when he didn't have much. Rather than material things, he knew that real relationships and acts of kindness were what brought true prosperity. People who were kind, helped him, and laughed with him were more important to him than money. He helped the town get through hard times by being selfless. He showed everyone that the richest person is not the one who has the most things, but the one who gives the most. Leo was very popular with kids in the country. They thought of him as a kind of hero, one who didn't have shiny weapons but was brave in the heart. Among other things, he taught them to think about others, enjoy simplicity, and find joy in giving. Leo's actions created a web of compassion and kindness that wrapped around Hamlet and turned it into a safe haven of love and giving. Let Leo's story be a gentle warning that acts of love that don't focus on yourself have the most charm, and acts of kindness have the most power. Everyone can learn from his story. It shows us that the richest lives are lived with open hearts and helping hands, and that real happiness comes from sharing rather than having. In a world where anyone can be anything, Leo shows us that being kind is the most beautiful thing. Chapter 2: A nice peasant named Leo started his day one beautiful morning as the sun danced around the village walks and poked through the plants. It was a beautiful day, and as he walked through the field, he could hear the sad sound of a chirping bird. Leo was interested and scared by the sound, so he went after it and found a small bird whose weak flapping wings stood for pain and sadness. All the other birds in the sky are fine, but this one is hurt and needs help. After seeing the sun shine on the grass, Leo didn't think twice. His heart was as big as the sun. He picked up the bird with a soft, whisper-like touch and took it home to bring it back to health. Even though Leo's house was small, it was filled with love and warmth. He used old clothes to make the bird a small nest, which he then hid in a spot where the soft morning light could caress its feathers. The bird got small seeds to eat, and Leo gave it water. He was very careful and patient with it. His acts showed what kind of person he really was, which was full of empathy and compassion. It came naturally for him to be kind, like the sun. He spoke softly to the bird every day, telling it stories about Hamlet, the fields, and the sky, where it would soon return. His kind, soothing words were like medicine for the bird's soul. Leo's worry for the bird showed how compassionate he was; this compassion didn't consider how much help was needed, but instead just responded to a cry from a fellow human being in trouble. He knew that all living things, no matter how small, had a place in the universe, a tune to sing, and the sky to fly in. His deeds made people care about others; they showed how generous people can be and how much joy there is in helping others. The bird got better with Leo's caring care over the next three days. Its wings, which had been hurt and weak before, flapped with new strength. Not only was the little bird's recovery a victory for itself, but it also showed how caring hearts and goodwill can work magic. By helping a hurt bird, Leo showed that even the smallest act of kindness can make a big difference. It was a lesson that every act of kindness adds up to a beautiful and hopeful pattern in the tapestry of life. We can all learn something from Leo's story about the hurt bird. It shows us the way of compassion and tells us that being kind is power. As Leo did with that little bird that was hurt on a sunny morning, it teaches that kindness is the most beautiful symphony in life's big orchestra, and that every act of kindness is a note that will forever touch hearts and heal souls.
