Family Heirloom: The Living Wisdom of Chinese People
By Ren Xiang, New Star Press
Family Heirloom: The Living Wisdom of Chinese People is the result of Taiwan writer Ren Xiang's years of trying to vividly explain the essence of Chinese culture to her daughter, who's now studying in the United States.
The whole set of exquisitely designed books, which many say is a visual artwork itself, delves into the lives of Chinese people with texts and illustrations, portraying how they live over four seasons.
The book has both wowed and depressed Chinese readers as they find some of these beautiful traditions slowly diminishing.
