During the underwater pressure test, while his classmates were competing to see who could withstand the pressure and swim to shore fastest, Ning Du was submerged in water with a pile of clothes on his body, frantically washing them to save on laundry fees. During reaction time class, while other students frantically dodged arrows fired by robots, Ningdu lay on the ground, picking up...
Manchu Princess, Japanese Spy
Aisin Gioro Xianyu (1907–1948) was the fourteenth daughter of a Manchu prince and a legendary figure in China's bloody struggle with Japan. After the fall of the Manchu dynasty in 1912, Xianyu's father gave his daughter to a Japanese friend who was sympathetic to his efforts to reclaim power.

Yoshiko had a fiery personality and loved the limelight. She shocked Japanese society by dressing in men's clothes and rose to prominence as Commander Jin, touted in Japan's media as a new Joan of Arc. Boasting a short, handsome haircut ...
Manchukuo Perspectives
This groundbreaking volume critically examines how writers in Japanese-occupied northeast China negotiated political and artistic freedom while engaging their craft amidst an increasing atmosphere of violent conflict and foreign control. The allegedly multiethnic utopian new state of Manchukuo (1932–1945) created by supporters of imperial Japan was intended to corral the creative energies of Chinese, Japanese, Koreans, Russians, and Mongols.

In a semicolony wr...

Pendekar Hina Kelana
Salah satu kisah terbaik karangan Chin Yung, yang mengisahkan realita di dunia persilatan, ketika batas antara "yang baik" dan "yang jahat" menjadi amat tipis. Kisah dalam buku ini menggunakan istilah Mandarin untuk penyebutan nama orang dan tempat. Jika ada pembaca yang lebih menginginkan pemakaian ejaan Hokkian, di masa mendatang akan diterbitkan kisah yang sama dengan ejaan Hokkian, dan tentu dengan pemakaian bahasa Indonesia yang lebih modern. Selamat membaca...
