This is the first translation into English of all of Li Shangyin's poems (Tang Dynasty 813-858 AD). Li Shangyin is one of the most fascinating of poets and this book includes historical background on the poet as well as introductory and explanatory notes by the translator. For over 1200 years, scholars have attempted to understand, let alone translate Li Shangyin’s poems. At least four different schools of thought have developed. Firstly, his poems are reflections on political patrons and a failed career. Secondly, they are thinly veiled political satires of the Court and political factions. Thirdly, they are stories of actual affairs with Court ladies and Taoist priestesses. Finally, they are admirable vehicles of mystery and beauty. My interpretations include elements of all the above, but are also a synthesis of sentiments - the poet’s (as I see him) and my own, of which music is a core part. This is particularly appropriate with Li Shangyin. His poetry is a labyrinth of passionate images, almost musical in sound and sequencing. They are at once ebullient, sad, loving, hateful, spiteful, sneering, and religious - a cornucopia of musical words that sing across the ages. [more]

滕序　　在中国教会复兴史里面，有两位最特殊的人物，都是神特别兴起的仆人：一位是从加拿大到中国来的宣教士古约翰牧师，另一位就是最著名的宋尚节博士。前者在二十世纪头二十年里面主领奋兴布道会于华北各省，包括东北在内；后者则是足迹遍布全国及南洋各国，前后约十五年（三十年代末期至四十年代首期）。他的果实今日仍存，对中国教会影响甚大。　　过去宋尚节的传记都是以其工作为重心，但本书则以其日记为经纬，令人耳目一新，直窥他的内心经历，更为感人。在教会历史中以日记留传后世的，当推约翰卫斯理、乔治穆勒、大卫布锐纳（David Brainard向北美印第安布道的宣教士）与本书。

This is about the two text messages from the Redhead at 3:00AM in the morning from the Redhead, who won't quit bugging she's ahead because she's so starved for attention and Chung Li, just doesn't have neither the time, nor the patience to give her this special attention. Especially since Chung Li's trying to sleep right now. All of this happened, immediately after I just released the Redhead Psychological Profile. [more]
