Text in traditional Chinese. Author Sima Zhong-yuan (司馬中原), also known as the Ghost Story Master, passed away on Jan. 4 2024 at the age of 90. Upon hearing this news, Culture Minister Shih Che expressed his deepest condolences. He commended Sima Zhong-yuan s contribution to Taiwan s literature by creating legends and ghost stories that are full of historical references and humanitarian concerns. He followed the Kuomintang army in China to Taiwan in 1949 and started writing after retiring from the military in 1962. Wasteland (荒原 1962) and Dust Storm (狂風沙 1987) established his position in the literary world. He began hosting television and radio supernatural shows in, and that made him become the greatest ghost storyteller in Taiwan. On account of his wartime experience in his early years, Sima was good at portraying the cruelty of the reality and vivid characters in his stories. His creations include novels, essays, and biographies, most of which are tainted heavily with colors of folk legends. This is a passage from the first chapter of the epic Huang Yuan (The Flats): Night after night, seated at a ratty table under the leaky roof of a dilapidated home in Dashu Township, Kaohsiung County, newly married Wu Yanmei, husband to Wu Qingzhang, pushed his pen in frantic flight across the writing paper in a desperate attempt to keep pace with the story churning away in his mind. The year was 1952, and 19-year-old Wu had just come to Taiwan three years before as a low-ranking officer in the Nationalist army. The strength of his concern for the Chinese people, his sense of mission, were clearly signaled in the pen name he had chosen-Sima Zhongyuan. The name echoed back two millennia to Sima Qian, author of the Records of the Grand Historian, and implied that a successor now roamed the North China Plain (zhongyuan), the ancient cradle of Chinese civilization. published by Huang guan za zhi she 1959.

Añadir al carritoSoft cover. Condición: Very Good. 1st Edition. Beautiful volume of wood engravings specifically from the Northern region of China, published by Gaoyuan Bookstore, 1947, 130 woodcuts by Gu Yuan, Li Chun Ku Yuan, Li Chun, Hu I-Chuan, Chiao Hsing-ho, Mao Ning, Shih Lo, Wang Liu-Chiu, Sou Yu, Chi Kwei-sheng, Ma Ta, Wu Cha, Hsia Feng…, Chen Shu-liang, Chi Dan, Yan Han, Ghang Wang, etc (夏 風, 楊涵, 戚 單, 郭 鈞, 張 望, 古元, 力 羣, 王流秋, 馬 達) with several in bold bright color, though largely in black and white. 125pp. Index and introduction in English and Chinese, table of contents reproduced in both languages in laid-in foldout insert. Excellent condition overall, being sturdy, well bound and clean. Pages age toned pretty evenly throughout, although there are several pages on which the color prints have been made that have avoided this fate, perhaps being acid free type of paper. Even though toned, the black and white prints are bold, and the color ones on the acid free paper are quite brilliant and beautiful. Slight bit of waviness to the side margins of those pages, not found elsewhere. Covers mostly clean, with one very lightly bumped area to the front cover. A couple of white paint stains on the spine and a very small bit of loss to the paper of the spine at the crown. Spine text still legible. Back cover toned and with some very minor staining and a couple of tiny closed tears. Despite all of this, a lovely example, which is now covered in mylar.
