Chang Yu animal painting
by Chang Yu
In the modern Chinese painting circle, Chang Yu is a leader, once alternately refreshing the Chinese oil painting auction record. Painter Chang Yu has had ups and downs throughout her life, and insists on going her own way in art. He is recognized in the West as a world-class painter, a Chinese Modigliani, a painter who creates freely for his artistic beliefs and makes remarkable achievements. Chang Yu turned from the most familiar Chinese art to another brand new western art field, and constantly explored and pursued on the basis of Chinese painting, finally achieving Chang Yu's special painting style of simplicity and fluency. Chang Yu is an indelible Oriental pearl. Few books of Chang Yu are published in China. We popularize such art and publicize Chang Yu's achievements in the history of Chinese art in the 20th century.The series consists of 3 books. This book is a collection of Chang Yu's animal paintings, which contains more than 60 of her important and iconic animal works. Chang Yu's animal works mostly show the vast land, the ancient roads, or the yellow sand road, and the desolate situation of people. In the painting, there is only a small animal like a drop in the ocean in the boundless empty sky. All the viewers can feel the loneliness and sorrow of this stranger in his old age.

August 2006'Liebes Fritzchen' – 'Lieber Groß-Uwe'
Der Briefwechsel
by Uwe Johnson, Fritz J. Raddatz, Erdmut Wizisla
"Liebes Fritzchen" überschrieb Uwe Johnson den ersten Brief an Fritz J. Raddatz aus dem Jahr 1966. Die im Freundes- und engeren Bekanntenkreis geläufige Verkehrsform ist der humorvolle Ausdruck freundschaftlicher Nähe der beiden, die sich seit 1959 persönlich kannten. Im Gegenzug schrieb Raddatz: "Lieber großer Uwe Johnson", "Lieber große Uwe" oder, sehr häufig, Uwe Johnson/ Fritz J. Raddatz Der Briefwechsel "Lieber Groß-Uwe". In diesen Benennungen drückt sich eine Vertrautheit aus, die nicht zu unterschätzen ist, zumal Johnson als der Schwierige, als der Unnahbare galt. Dieser Briefwechsel, beginnend im August 1966, endend im August 1983, zwischen zwei ehemaligen Bürgern der DDR, gehorcht nur scheinbar den vorgegebenen Rollen der beiden: hier der Schriftsteller, dort der Verleger, Lektor, Herausgeber und Kritiker. Da die Korrespondenzpartner wissen, daß Literatur nicht im gesellschaftsfreien Raum stattfindet, sie doch gleichwohl dazu Distanz benötigt, um ihre Wahrheit präsentieren zu können, thematisieren ihre Briefe alle Aspekte der Literatur: ihre Entstehungsbedingungen, die Technik des Schreibens, die Kritik - nicht zuletzt die Politik. Als Persönliches zur Sprache gebracht wird, kommt es zum Zerwürfnis.

July 2016Chun Cao
by Qiu Shanshan
Chun Cao is the story of an ordinary woman in the countryside who, apart from hard work, has nothing to be happy about. However, she does have one personality that affects her whole life: unyielding obstinacy. With the dream of living a better life in her heart, she is not reconciled to her destiny. Instead, she struggles with all her might. She marries a man she has chosen for herself, braves the world, goes to work in the city, and establishes her own business. She experiences repeated failures and hardship. From the countryside to the city, from a petty peddler to a cleaning woman and nurse, she struggles, bears hardship, keeps her chin up, and never vents her grievances. Her praiseworthy quality lies in the fact that she wants to be the master of her own destiny. She has thus been labeled as the Chinese “Oshin”. This book, after being introduced to Japan and the United States, has become a textbook for Advanced Chinese at the Ohio State University of the US.
