When a malevolent multinational arrives on our shores, familiar creatures like pontianaks, manananggals, rākṣasīs and ba jiao guis are forced out of their jobs. Some give in and sign up for mundane corporate life – but others would rather fight than join the broken-spirited hordes of the (desk)bound. Benjamin Chee’s comics and Wayne Rée’s prose intertwine in this collection to bring you familiar Asian mythology in an even more familiar setting: the realm of dead-end work, glass ceilings and truly hellish bosses.

What if man plays Go with God? Who will be the winner?The Heaven Trap attempts to discuss such a proposition. It captures the oriental artistic charm of the text and figuratively describes such a traditional cultural symbol as “Weiqi” with extraordinary imagination and unrestricted flamboyant pictures. Full of visual impact and modern aesthetic emotion, the book draws a Go world containing philosophy and life wisdom.Originally adapted from a prestigious short story (the story) of Jiao Jian, the picture book is short but meaningful. With unique and unusual imagination, the book forms an amazing Go world, exhibiting the long history and infinite fascination of Go and celebrating the admirable spirit a Go fanatic exerts to explore the mysteries of Go and never admit defeat. With the valley as flat and square as a Go board and black stones alternating with white snow like pieces, a game of Go was ready appropriately. Yue Tianyi contemplated quite a while to puzzle out the scene that Hun Dun moved stones to keep warm before freezing to death, laying out this game of Go unintentionally. What a Go fanatic! He took a closer look at this game only to discover its marvelous ideas and excellent moves, revealing a majestic and magnificent look. It was the greatest work he had ever seen in his life. Towering mountains stood around the Go board. The blue sky hung down with thick clouds. Eagles hovered over mountain creeks, with sad and shrill howling…Yue Tianyi was totally shocked and stood for a long while solemn and respectful, with two words coming out of his mouth, “Heaven trap!”All the others climbed up to the mountain and crowded around Yue Tianyi. Nobody understood why he looked so strange.They asked one after another, “What did you see? What is Hun Dun doing?”Yue Tianyi answered, “Playing Go.”“Whom is he playing with in such a remote mountain?”Yue Tianyi remained silent for a good while, and said heavily, “God!”Due to shallow opinion as layfolk, they questioned closely, “Did he win or lose?”…“Won by half a point!” Click http://www.rightol.com/video/en/202210/P211018162147812.mp4 to watch the English Introduction video.

Within higher education, world-class universities are regarded as elite research universities and play a critical role in developing human resources and generating new knowledge in the context of a knowledge-based economy. Governments around the world have made the operation of their universities at the cutting edge of intellectual and scientific development their policy priority; and top universities make every effort to compete at this global stage. “Paths to A World-Class University” provides insights into recent and ongoing experiences of building world-class universities, both at a national level and at an institutional level. It collects fifteen essays, most of which originated from papers presented at “The Third International Conference on World-Class Universities”, held in November 2009 in Shanghai, China, and organised by the Center for World-Class Universities of Shanghai Jiao Tong University. Divided into two parts, the book:- focuses on the role of world-class universities in national systems; and- looks at institutional experiences and lessons in building world-class universities. This book not only represents a contribution to the ongoing discussion on the topic of building world-class universities, but can be seen a continuation of the previous two volumes on this topic - “World-Class Universities and Ranking: Aiming beyond Status” and “The World-Class University as Part of a New Higher Education Paradigm: From Institutional Qualities to Systemic Excellence”. All three books will be useful reading for students and academics in higher education generally, in addition to policy makers and informed practitioners.
The Legend of Dumplings tells the origin and tale of Chinese dumplings with the story of the outstanding medical scientist Zhang Zhongjing of the Eastern Han Dynasty. On the way home, Dr. Zhang Zhongjing saw a girl crying because her ears were frozen. Dr. Zhang prescribed the mixture of medicine which could be eaten as food, and made flour parcels of mixture named “jiao er” (dumpling). Dr. Zhang instructed the villagers that eating “jiao er” in winter would cure the frozen ears. So every Chinese New Year from then on people made and ate dumplings to remind them of kind Dr. Zhang Zhongjing.

This book discusses the religious phenomena among the Chinese population of Malaysia. It has four main purposes. First, the research compares the Chinese people in Malaysia with those in Taiwan, Hong Kong and Macau and shows how a “religion-festival integration” (jiao jie yiti) developed in the multi-ethic religious and cultural environment in Malaysia; this is demonstrated by the high participation of Buddhist and Taoist adherents in the festivals. Second, the above perspective enables us to understand how ancestor-related practices, such as the relocation incident in Malacca and Yishan in Kuala Lumpur and the ancestral worship in Pulau Pinang, came to be defined by the local people as a “sacred religion”; the “sacredness” of these practices is particularly emphasized. Third, the author aims to develop the concept of “idea transplanting” (linian yizhi), by which the celestial inspection of the gods on earth (dai xun), the Nine Emperors (Jiuhuang), the Immortal Masters (Xian shi ye) and the “tang fan” land are transplanted to Malaysia. The popularity of these gods and practices among Malaysian Chinese comes from their trans-local qualities. After Malaysia became a nation-state, they served to solidify the Chinese in Malaysia, leading to the subsequent development of “the Festival of the Nine Emperors” and “the Festival of Fude Culture”. The book finally argues that Malaysian Chinese are good at applying “the art of unification” to organize religious associations. On a small scale, they united neighborhoods and temples to support Chinese religion. More generally, they set up the General Daoist Association. In the name of Daoism, local temples were united and adherents demanded that the state add the new religious category of Daoism in their citizenship registration. “Sacred Religion” has thus been transformed into “Daosim,” uniting the Chinese into a distinct ethnic category in Malaysia. This argument is a novel and major contribution to Southeast-Asian studies.

The Many Faces of Ruan Dacheng: Poet, Playwright, Politician in Seventeenth-Century China is the first monograph in English on a controversial Ming dynasty literary figure. It examines and re-assesses the life and work of Ruan Dacheng (1587–1646), a poet, dramatist, and politician in the late Ming period. Ruan Dacheng was in his own time a highly regarded poet, but is best known as a dramatist, and his poetry is now largely unknown. He is most notorious as a ‘treacherous official’ of the Ming–Qing transition, and as a result his literary work—his plays as well as his poetry—has been neglected and undervalued. Hardie argues that Ruan’s literary work is of much greater significance in the history of Chinese literature than has generally been recognised since his own time. Ruan, rather than being a transgressive figure, is actually a very typical late Ming literatus, and as such his attitudes towards identity and authenticity can add to our understanding of these issues in late Ming intellectual history. These insights will impact on the cultural and intellectual history of late imperial China.
In The Making of Chinese-Sinophone Literatures as World Literature, Kuei-fen Chiu and Yingjin Zhang aim to bridge the distance between the scholarship of world literature and that of Chinese and Sinophone literary studies. This edited volume advances research on world literature by bringing in new developments in Chinese/Sinophone literatures and adds a much-needed new global perspective on Chinese literary studies beyond the traditional national literature paradigm and its recent critique by Sinophone studies. In addition to a critical mapping of the domains of world literature, Sinophone literature, and world literature in Chinese to delineate the nuanced differences of these three disciplines, the book addresses the issues of translation, genre, and the impact of media and technology on our understanding of “literature” and “literary prestige.” It also provides critical studies of the complicated ways in which Chinese and Sinophone literatures are translated, received, and reinvested across various genres and media, and thus circulate as world literature. The issues taken up by the contributors to this volume promise fruitful polemical interventions in the studies of world literature from the vantage point of Chinese and Sinophone literatures.
