Description

A Reflection of Reality is an anthology of modern Chinese short stories designed as an advanced-level textbook for students who have completed no less than three years of college-level Chinese. Even as many advanced-level Chinese language textbooks stress only practical communication, this textbook uses stories from well-known Chinese authors not only to give a boost to students’ language proficiency, but also to expose students to the literature, history, and evolution of modern Chinese society.

The twelve stories selected for this textbook are written by such latest authors as Yu Hua, Wang Anyi, and Gao Xingjian, and have seemed in more than a few newspapers and magazines in China. Every story is full of useful sentence structures, vocabulary, and cultural information, and is followed by an extensive vocabulary list, a large number of sentence structure examples, grammar exercises, and discussion questions. The textbook also includes a comprehensive pinyin index. A Reflection of Reality will effectively fortify students’ Chinese language skills and their understanding of today’s China.
