This is a story book which embodies China's classic wisdom, from pre-Confucius days of more than three thousand years ago to the early Qing Dynasty, the last imperial regime which ended in 1911.
A refreshingly accessible book to read, the volume contains gleamings of the author's years of reading Chinese classics, traversing the vast panoply of China's history.
No prior knowledge of China is needed. No particular interest in China is required. The author takes you on a tour through the treasureland of wisdom in Chinese history and you will be uplifted and entertained. And, what is more, just as millions of people in China, Japan, Korea, Singapore, and other Asian countries have already found, so will you find that the practical value of wisdom embedded in Chinese classics is not irrelevant to your work, your business, your career or your life.
