Bilingual books are a great solution for those of you who learn Chinese and would like to read something in the original, but do not yet have the courage to reach for a novel completely on your own. Here you can use the translation into English as your help and, depending on how brave you are feeling, to either start with the translation or with the original text straight away. Whichever way works best for you! You can return to bilingual books many times, always finding something new to learn from them.
In Penguin anthology, you’ll find eight stories by writers such as Tie Ning, Cao Naiqian, and Bi Feiyu. Most of them are available in English translation for the first time.
