Download or read book An Empty Room Stories written by Mu Xin and published by New Directions Publishing. This book was released on 2011-05-23 with total page 161 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A dazzling cycle of short stories by one of China’s most revered contemporary writers and one of the world’s leading artist-intellectuals. An Empty Room is the first book by the celebrated Chinese writer Mu Xin to appear in English. A cycle of thirteen tenderly evocative stories written while Mu Xin was living in exile, this collection is reminiscent of the structural beauty of Hemingway’s In Our Time and the imagistic power of Kawabata’s palm-of-the-hand stories. From the ordinary (a bus accident) to the unusual (Buddhist halos) to the wise (Goethe, Lao Zi), Mu Xin’s wandering “I” interweaves plots with philosophical grace and spiritual profundity. A small blue bowl becomes a symbol of vanishing childhood; a painter in a race against fading memory scribbles notes in an underground prison during the Cultural Revolution; an abandoned temple room holds a dark mystery. An Empty Room is a soul-stirring page turner, a Sebaldian reverie of passing time, loss, and humanity regained.

Download or read book The Philosophy of Prediction written by Ethan Yet and published by 一個人. This book was released on with total page 106 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book will show you ways of predicting things you never thought possible, ways that don't rely on the gods, don't rely on the occult, but rely on your intelligence. This book will also show you how to get a glimpse of what's really going on inside people's heads. By mastering these methods, you too can easily surpass Sherlock Holmes! This book will introduce methods of prediction that people in Western civilization have almost never heard of. These methods were invented by the best wise men of ancient China. Some used these methods to save their own lives or the lives of others, some used these methods to defeat their enemies without a single soldier, and some used these methods to establish themselves as wise men and become saints. As for you, what do you want to do with these methods? It is up to you. But if you don't realize that many things can be predicted, or even that some things can be handled in this way, then of course you will do what you have done in the past. Then of course, you will be like countless people in the past, and live a life of mediocrity. Many people have relied on religion and made a lot of money by lying about prophecies. Why is it that false prophecies based on religion are so easy to accept, while predictions based on one's own intelligence are not well known? Perhaps it is because in Western civilization, religion has a stronger restraining power that has constrained human development in prediction. Or maybe the answer doesn't matter. Especially once you have mastered the methods offered in this book, you probably won't care! Of course, some of the methods mentioned in this book are only applicable to ancient contexts, but there are many more examples that will allow you to expand your thinking! Let you know that there are many ways to approach a certain situation! If you don't want to be confined to your own civilized world, and you want to try to make intelligent predictions yourself, then this book is for you. Then this book will be a treasure for you, it will open a door to a new world for your mind. This book is about the secrets that the Chinese will not tell you. In ancient China, many wise men had already mastered some methods of predicting the future and successfully used their predictions to their advantage. Either to defeat enemies or to avoid disasters. The stories and wisdom here are bound to impact the awareness of Western readers. If you are interested in predicting the future using laws and wisdom, this book is a classic that you cannot miss. After reading this book, you may even imagine a situation where, for example, if a senior Chinese official had known about new pneumonia, would China have played a small game or a big strategy? And where would the international situation be headed in the future?
