Su Ya transmigrated into a novel about a wealthy family's marriage and became the female supporting character of the same name.
Phytopathogenic microbes such as fungi, bacteria, viruses, and nematodes pose significant threats to global food security by compromising plant health and reducing crop yields. Traditional methods of disease management often rely on the extensive use of chemical fungicides, which can have harmful effects on the environment and human health. Consequently, there is an urgent need to develop sustainable strategies for enhancing plant resilience to phytopathogenic microbes. While most research has focused on plant responses to abiotic stresses, understanding of plant resilience to phytopathogenic microbes and host-pathogen interactions remains limited. Plants respond to these pathogens using multifarious and interlinked adaptive mechanisms. Understanding the physiological, biochemical, and molecular mechanisms underlying plant defense responses and harnessing this knowledge for breeding programs holds great promise for sustainable agriculture.
Raised for 20 years by her family as a "human offering," Jiang Mian, a prodigy in metaphysics, receives an unusual birthday gift on her 25th birthday—a coffin, sent by her master. But upon opening it, she accidentally unleashes Shen Xingyuan, an ancient demon king. Due to a bizarre system binding, the once-feared demon king is now reduced to a cosmic “gig worker”—facing divine lightning strikes for failed tasks and begging on the streets even when successful. To keep him alive, Jiang Mian is forced to start her “career”: By day, she catches ghosts on livestream in the entertainment industry, scaring A-list celebrities into wetting their pants. By night, she acts as an NPC in haun...
Between the early 1950s and the accelerated demolition and construction of Beijing's “old city” in preparation for the 2008 Olympics, the residents of Dashalar—one of the capital city's poorest neighborhoods and only a stone's throw from Tian’anmen Square—lived in dilapidated conditions without sanitation. Few had stable employment. Today, most of Dashalar's original inhabitants have been relocated, displaced by gentrification. In Beijing from Below Harriet Evans captures the last gasps of subaltern life in Dashalar. Drawing on oral histories that reveal memories and experiences of several neighborhood families, she reflects on the relationships between individual, family, neighbor...
It was still in the Qingxin Hall. Yang Guang stared intently at the woman kneeling below the steps, speechless for a long time. Even after reviewing "The Great Tang" many times, he still couldn't understand what Yun Yuzhen, this woman, had been striving for all her life, first colluding with Dugu Ce, then joining the Baling Gang. What was her purpose?
Stories to Awaken the World, the first complete translation of Xingshi hengyan, completes the publication in English of the famous three-volume set of Feng Menglong's popular Chinese-vernacular stories. These tales, which come from a variety of sources (some dating back centuries before their compilation in the seventeenth century), were assembled and circulated by Feng, who not only saved them from oblivion but raised the status of vernacular literature and provided material for authors of the great Ming (1368-1644) and Qing (1644-1911) novels to draw upon. This trilogy has been compared to Boccaccio's Decameron and the stories of A Thousand and One Nights. Peopled with scholars, emperors, ...
