Features: The Four Great Classical Novels of Chinese Literature—Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Water Margin, Journey to the West, and Dream of the Red Chamber—are not only four shining pearls on the pinnacle of Chinese and world literature, but also four treasures in China's treasure trove of stratagems. Opening the chests reveals endless ingenious plans. The author attempts to climb the towering wisdom tree nurtured by these four literary giants—Luo Guanzhong, Shi Nai'an, Wu Cheng'en, and Cao Xueqin—gathering the spring blossoms and autumn fruits of their stratagems, concentrating the finest fruits, sorting and classifying them, packing them into baskets, and presenting hundreds of stories of stratagems to dear family, friends, colleagues, comrades, and fellow villagers, as a token of gratitude for past kindness. If these stories can spread, placed on your desk, bedside table, or dining table, to alleviate the loneliness of your free time; or if they can serve as spiritual snacks for those who are busy from dawn till dusk, unable to find whole blocks of time to read these lengthy masterpieces, then it would be a welcome gift indeed.
