A Sherlock Holmes favorite adapted into a Chinese context
To be honest, to the best of my recollection, I haven’t read any Sherlock Holmes stories, but I have watched a number of episodes of “The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes” starring Jeremy Brett on PBS.
“Green Phoenix” 《清风》 Intro
This book was written by Yuehua Liu (of “Integrated Chinese” fame) and Chengzhi Chu, with Qin Xie. Part of the “Chinese Breeze” graded Chinese readers book series, it is well suited for Level 2 learners, those who have a solid working knowledge of 500 Chinese characters.
Mandarin Companion does a great job of modernizing “Emma”《安末》
If Jane Austen could read Chinese, I think she’d be delighted with this rendition of “Emma” (《安末》). Whereas the original “Emma” is set in early nineteenth century England, 《安末》is set in modern Shanghai.
