We have carefully selected a collection of 20 exquisite paintings and calligraphy by Prof. Jao Tsung-i, accompanied by 50 cherished photographs captured during his worldwide travels. These features Prof Jao’s interpretations of landscapes from different corners of the world, including his large-scale paintings depiction well-know sites in Hong Kong, China, and overseas. We can observe how he exceptionally reflected the distinct character of each place and represented it using the traditional Chinese medium of ink and brush as well as Western painting style. As the old saying goes, “It is better to travel ten thousand miles than to read ten thousand books”. While achieving one of these is already incredibly challenging, Prof. Jao not only traversed thousands of miles, surpassing the accomplishments of both ancient masters and numerous contemporary painters.

Sharing a delicious meal helps a family connect in this loving tribute to Chinatown grocery stores and spending days-off together. On a rainy Saturday, a young girl feels as gray as a pigeon. Since moving from China to Brooklyn, Mom, Dad, and Grandma have been too busy working. But a trip to Mom's favorite Chinatown market, where there are "vegetables in a hundred greens" and "silver fish on crunchy white ice," might just be what the girl needs to feel connected again. After a long day of shopping, they cook up a savory meal of mushroom and bok choy, thin slices of bitter melon, fragrant ponds of broth, and seafood--almost like being back in China.

Inspired by Qing Zhuang's experience as a first generation Chinese American, Rainbow Shopping explores how sharing a meal together can be a source of comfort and connection to loved ones, near and far.

Forster） 在他的名著《小說的要素》（Aspects of the Novel）提出的小說創作的七個要素﹐美國席德布蘭教授有關生存美學的理論和張系國教授對小說創作和科幻寫作的多年研究心得﹐擴充而成個人獨特的理論和實際創作的指南。詳細書訊：本書的五章和佛斯特的小說創作七要素對應大要﹕第一章 小說創作的要素﹕故事（story）﹐情節（plot）﹐人物（people）。第二章 尋找故事的人 - 桃花源和烏托邦﹕人物（people）。第三章 科幻小說的奇幻因素﹕幻想（fantasy）。第四章 從烏托邦到反烏托邦﹕預言（prophecy）。第五章 重複的美感﹕模式（pattern）﹐節奏（rhythm）。
