China Story Picture Books
China Story Picture Books is the first set of children's picture books launched by the Bingxin Award Committee. This set of books covers the works of seven Bingxin Award-winning writers of different ages including children's literature masters and promising young writers. The illustrations are full of traditional Chinese cultural elements such as dragon lantern dance, paper cutting, oil paper umbrella, and bamboo. Powerful painters at home and abroad are invited to do illustrations, which brings interesting fusion and collision of Chinese and foreign cultures to the books. In addition to the original illustrations, the stories are more touching. Every child can harvest the courage and wisdom for growing up from these stories.
The series consists of 7 picture books: The Dragon Lantern, The Path of Golden Flowers, The Child in Three-Story Attic, The School Day Gifts, The Secret of Crossing, The Slope of Sisters.
The Child in Three-Story Attic tells a story of growing up in the alley of Shanghai of Old China. The protagonist lives in a three-story attic in an old alley from the age of one to twelve. On a typhoon night, the protagonist curled up in the corner of the attic found a copy of The Adventures of Pinocchio and began his writing. Now although the old alley has disappeared, his memory of the attic will never die.
