Set against China's turbulent years between the early 1960s and the late 1970s, When Huai Flowers Bloom is the literary memoir of a young girl who manages to sustain love, imagination, and strength during this most chaotic time. With twelve separate yet interconnected stories, Shu Jiang Lu alternates between storyteller and listener as she relays haunting memories and explores the devastating effect of Mao's anticultural Cultural Revolution. Lu weaves together the voices of multiple real and fantastic characters: her parents and their treasured yet forbidden bookcase; the mysterious vendors beckoning from Pear Flower Alley; the immortal martial hero; the reactionary opera singer and the black demon novelist; the whispering ghost and dancing fairy; and the author herself, discovering her storyteller's voice in the military camps of her youth. When Huai Flowers Bloom is a poignant, persistent journey toward voice and freedom.
Once she transmigrated, she became the pampered Princess Anping. He thought it was a treasure in everyone's hearts, but it turned out to be nothing more than a piece of grass that no one wanted. From the empress dowager to her favorite concubine, from the emperor to her official, she was covered in thorns and wounds. Huaijin sneered. He definitely wouldn't be afraid if he was. She was arrogant, she was arrogant, she had an extraordinary demeanor. She took things step by step, she secretly formed her power. Some said she didn't know the sky was high, others that she was ambitious. Until finally, when she stood at the peak of power, unshakable. Only then did the crowd begin to discuss the great talent this woman possessed! "The man was wearing a long robe and his eyes were filled with deep love." "From today onwards, I will protect you." Huaijin raised his eyes with a face full of disdain. She was as handsome as an attendant and as extravagant as a god. But no one knew better than Huaijin what a dark heart lay beneath this almost perfect leather bag.

Wang Wei has traditionally been considered one of the greatest of Tang dynasty poets, together with Li Bo and Du Fu. This is the first complete translation into English of all of his poems, and also the first substantial translation of a selection of his prose writings. For the first time, readers encountering his work in English translation will get a comprehensive understanding of Wang Wei‘s range as a poet and prose writer. In spite of the importance of Wang Wei's poetry in the history of Chinese literature, no one has attempted a complete translation of all of his surviving poems; moreover, even though he was known for his skill in composing prose pieces in the recognized genres of his day (especially as a writer of commissioned compositions), very little of his prose has been translated. This translation will enable students with limited or no knowledge of Chinese to get a full sense of Wang Wei's compositional range. Moreover, since Wang Wei was known for being a devout Buddhist, having the complete poetry available in reliable translation as well as all of the prose that is connected to the Buddhist faith will be useful to students of Chinese religion.
