I'm thrilled to share part one of my latest book haul featuring 7 captivating Chinese fictional books. After a decade, I finally fingered out a way to purchase affordable Chinese books online 😅 Join me as I delve into the world of these amazing findings! Most of these books don't have English translations, but I hope you still enjoy hearing me talking about them if you don't speak Chinese. Let's all hope they'll get translated one day ☀️◉ LET’S BE FRIENDS → Website: thebookishland.com → Art Website: meoniarts.com→ Instagram: instagram.com/meonicorn→ Goodreads: bit.ly/2XLpeJV◉ BOOKS MENTIONED→ 今夜通宵杀敌 // Kill the Enemy All Night by 郑在欢 (Zheng Zaihuan)→ 暴雨下在病房里 //Rainstorm in the hospital ward by 苏方 (Su Fang)→ 如雪如山 //Like Snow, Like Mountains by 张天翼 (Zhang Tianyi)→ 潮汐图 //Tidal Charts by 林棹 (Lin Zhao)→ 斑马 //Zebras by 傅真 (Fu Zhen)→ 鱼猎 //Fish Hunting by 史迈 (Shi Mai)→ 生死疲劳 //Fatigue of Life and Death by 莫言 (Mo Yan)
