Features: This "Dynamic Campus Series" offers a truly exceptional "moral education feast." The author, Wei Ne, is a seasoned veteran in the field, a distinguished American-born Chinese known as "Grandma Wei." She was a professor at National Taiwan University and has been active in the youth column writing scene in Taiwan for 30 years. She has written over 9,000 motivational essays, published more than 50 collections, and reprinted them over a dozen times. She has been awarded the "Zhongshan Foundation Literary Creation Award." Wow, she has more qualifications than Liu Yong! Her books have also been translated into English, French, and German and introduced worldwide, receiving widespread acclaim. Currently, Wei Ne lives in the United States and remains vibrant and energetic at the age of 90.
This series selects hundreds of pieces from Wei Ne's works, compiling them into two volumes—High School Edition and Junior High Edition—and launching them for the first time in mainland China. The two books have different selections but share a similar style. The essays are short yet profound, drawing life lessons from small stories and advocating traditional Chinese virtues. Readers can grow and mature effortlessly while enjoying the delightful reading experience.
The High School Edition is presented in Chinese-English parallel format. The translator, Ms. Yuan Yongzhen, is Wei Ne's high school classmate and a graduate of the English Department at Peking University. She has served as the principal of Taiwan's Chongbei Girls' School and Fuxing Middle North School. Her classical and concise translation style makes the book an excellent companion for young readers seeking to improve their English.
The Junior High Edition is a pure Chinese reading book. While a few classic pieces are included in both editions, most articles differ from the High School Edition. Therefore, if readers are fond of Wei Ne's works, they can certainly collect both volumes together.
