The Powe of Novels 25:00

7 years yang lalu25:00

British writer Jane Austen once said: novels are "some work in which the greatest powers of the mind are displayed, in which the most thorough knowledge of human nature, the happiest delineation of its varieties, the liveliest effusions of wit and humour, are conveyed to the world in the best-chosen language. "Hailed by many as the most popular form of contemporary literature, novels not only "heighten our sense and sensibility to the complexities of life and individuals," but also examine the greater truth of humanity with made-up tales. So in today's Ink&Quill, we will take you to explore some extraordinary novels: some of which challenge the conventional norm of fictional writing, whereas some showcase the infinite possibilities in narrative details.…

As the internet usage becomes ubiquitous, we tend to interact with others more frequently online than offline.

If you find these terms rather head-scratching or unable to find a satisfying explanation on the Urban Dictionary, in this small segment of Ink&Quill, we will introduce to you a book, which may help you become a connoisseur in Chinese online patois.

"Stranger in My Heart" Sheds Light on the Hidden Past of Hong Kong and an Unsung Hero 25:00

We all establish an image of our parents.For British osteopath Mary Monro, her late father John Monro was "a Shropshire farmer, horseman, watcher of the TV news."It was until 2007, at the birthday party of her mother, she found out her father was not the man she once thought he was:"An old friend of the family was talking to me and she said: 'Your father was a 20th century great.' And I was really shocked. I didn't know what she meant. "Some diaries and letters stashed in a drawer led her to discover the answer. It turned out that her father Major John Monro was once a prisoner of war in Japanese-occupied Hong Kong during World War Two and managed to escape to the then Chinese wartime capital Chongqing with two fellow British officers. The man had kept all those experiences in secrecy throughout his life. Almost thirty years after her father's death, Mary Monro published a book that uncovers her father's heroics, titled "Stranger in My Heart."In this episode of Ink&Quill, she shares with our reporter Shiyu her father's unusual story and how she learns much about who she is by retracing her father's escape route.…

A Life of Sweet and Sour: A Brit's Love Affair with Chinese Cooking 32:56

When asked about the reality of human existence, French philosopher Rene Descartes answered by coining his famous dictum--"I think, therefore I am"; yet in the eyes of British cook and food writer Fuchsia Dunlop, for Chinese people, there is always this long-hold philosophy: I eat, therefore I am. Namely "Britain's greatest authority on Chinese food" by The Guardian, Fuchsia Dunlop has written passionately about Chinese culinary culture for over two decades and offered hands-on recipes for her readers to make authentic Chinese food at home. Recently, this celebrated author and Sinophile's memoir, Shark's Fin and Sichuan Pepper, was translated into Chinese. In this episode of Ink&Quill, she joins the conversation with our reporter Shiyu via a phone call to retrace her apprenticeship at a Chinese cooking school, discuss her fondness for Sichuanese cuisine, and how she, a British cook, becomes a true convert to the Chinese way of eating.…

Meet China's Only Female Emperor 35:07

7 years yang lalu35:07

35:07

Emperor Wu, or better known in Chinese as Wu Zetian (???) or Wu Zhao (??), is undeniably one of the most riveting and prominent women in the entire history of China. Reining over a vast empire from 690 to 705AD, she was the only female in some two thousand years of China's imperial history who had ever sat on the throne as a ruler in her own right. Some 1,300 years after her death, Wu's unique persona has continued to inspire a great number of plays, films, games, anime, and TV shows, including a 96-episode soap opera that unabashedly applauds her beauty, brain, and strong-mindedness. Yet history has not always been kind to Wu Zetian. For centuries, she has been portrayed as an abominable anomaly: either a sophisticated, succubus-alike seductress, or a lethal, ruthless she-wolf who would murder her own children for power. But who was the real Wu Zetian? How did she rise to power? And why did she, out of all the other powerful women in Chinese history, become the de facto monarch? To investigate the true story of Emperor Wu, in this episode, our reporter Shiyu talks with Professor N. Harry Rothschild from the University of North Florida. He is the author of two books: "Wu Zhao: China's Only Woman Emperor" and "Emperor Wu Zhao and her Pantheon of Devis, Divinities, and Dynastic Mothers."…

China's Epic Martial Arts Fiction Finally Gets English Edition 35:17

Jin Yong might sound like an unassuming name to foreign audiences; yet according to The New Yorker, in China, he has created "a cultural currency roughly equal to that of 'Harry Potter' and 'Star Wars' combined." Considered one of China's most beloved and best-selling authors still alive, this martial arts fiction guru is now 94 years old and lives in seclusion. Meanwhile, his books continue to inspire numerous TV shows, movies, comic books, anime and video games. However, due to the complexity and ingeniousness of his writings, Jin Yong's novels have long been deemed as impossible to translate. This year, "A Hero Born," the first installment of his legendary series "Legends of the Condor Heroes," was released in English for the first time. This landmark publication also marks the first trade edition of any of Jin Yong's works in English. So in this episode, Shiyu talks with Anna Holmwood, a Chinese and Swedish into English literary translator to discuss Chinese martial arts fiction, as well as the universal appeal of Jin Yong's works in this genre. And as the translator of the Condor Heroes series, what drew her to this Chinese masterpiece?…

According to a survey on national reading habits, released in April by the Chinese Academy of Press and Publishing, almost forty per cent of Chinese adults were not satisfied with the amount of books they consume. Many admit that their time for reading has been shrinking due to other attention-grabbing addictions, like social media, video game apps or online shopping sites.

Once excluded by the virulent immigration law implemented by the US government from the late 19th century until World War Two, the Chinese community is now not only one of the largest but also one of the fastest-growing ethnic groups in the United States. The racial stereotype often labels Chinese Americans as the "model minority," as they seem to seamlessly weave themselves into the patchwork of the American society. But, is this really the case?To find out the answer, this episode helps us delve into the story of a Chinese immigrant, whose writing navigates the vicissitude of Chinatown; and whose own life experiences, is a story worth telling.…

The Shakespeare Guide to Italy 25:00

When people talk about the greatest playwright of all time, the name William Shakespeare no doubt pops up on the radar. As one of the brightest stars of English-language literature, Shakespeare penned his perceptions of life, society and humanity with unparalleled theatrical beauty and creativity, which still conform to the world of today. Even some 400 years after the death of the Bard, people around the globe still chant his timeless sonnets, proses and soliloquies. However, even though Shakespeare has been hailed as the national symbol for English poetry, it is Italy that had a special hold on his heart. Among the 38 plays he produced, 13 of them are based wholly or partially on the Italian Peninsula. But in an age where travelling from Britain to continental Europe could have been risky and costly, we can't help but wonder, did the Bard really travel or not? And where did his fascination with the Mediterranean region come from? To find out the answers, in today's program, let's go to a book, The Shakespeare Guide to Italy: Retracing the Bard's Unknown Travels. Then we will take a glimpse into the temperaments and daily lives of ancient Chinese people. Well, if you still crave more books about history, don't go away! In today’s program, we will take you back to the 15th century- the era of the Tudors, when a frothy mix of assassination, betrayal, and lust permeated in the royal court of England.…
