1. The Romance Of The Western Chamber 【China Intercontinental Press 五洲传播出版社】
A lively romantic drama set in medieval China that follows a young scholar who falls passionately in love with a beautiful, sheltered maiden but must overcome social barriers, rigid family expectations and scheming matchmakers. With the resourceful maidservant acting as a matchmaker, the lovers stage secret meetings, clever ruses and daring escapes while poetry, wit and theatrical encounters expose the hypocrisies of class and authority. The story balances comedy and pathos as it celebrates personal desire, clever agency and the triumph of love against convention.
